This is the part where I whine about how hard it is to pick ten cigars I smoked in 2015, rank them and declare them the box-worthiest of all cigars to be box-worthy in that year. The truth is, this year’s list seemed easier to compile. I quickly put together a pool or 25 or […]
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of the Year
Every year I try to get my top 10 cigars of the year out before Christmas and every year I never seem to make it. Better late than never I guess. This year, I was thinking how easy it would be to come up with 10 cigars because I was thinking there wasn’t much that came […]
VIP Opening Reception of Davidoff of Geneva Atlanta
A couple of weeks ago I attended the VIP Opening Reception of Davidoff of Geneva Atlanta. The new flagship store had actually opened a few months prior (August 24th), but time has flown by this year, and I wasn’t able to check the place out until the reception. That’s probably for the best, it gave […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 94
It’s shaping up to be a fun week. I don’t really mean that, I have a chest cold which was probably exacerbated by a very good weekend. So that means a taking a break from cigars for a few days. I know, I hate it too. The good news is I think I have enough […]
IPCPR 2015: Smoking Jacket
While I was in the Davidoff booth I spotted Hendrik Kelner, Jr. standing next to a Smoking Jacket display. It looked like he had a free moment, so I swooped in for a quick video. (I’m not sure if a guy my size can “swoop”, but let’s pretend.) In this video we talk about Kelner […]
IPCPR 2015: Camacho
It was impossible pass by the Davioff booth without stopping to check out what appeared to be a large open flame by the entrance. Inside, we ran into Dylan Austin of Director of Marketing for Davidoff, who gave us the rundown on all things Camacho. We covered the new Camacho American Barrel Aged, some themed […]
Herfin Heads – Davidoff Escurio
In this joint video cigar review adventure, Ben Lee and Brian Hewitt take a look at the new Davioff Escurio Petit Robusto. It’s the shortest of three sizes in the new Escurio line, and continuing in the Davidoff Nicaragua vein, it’s a departure from the traditional Davidoff with which most cigar smokers are familiar. It’s […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 90
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
