The Santos De Miami by Jameson Cigar Company is a smoke I’ve been looking forward to trying ever since I saw it on display at IPCPR. It’s a sharp looking stick, and I’ve been determined to discover if it’s beauty is just skin deep or if it extends down to the filler. Not long ago, […]
Room 101 Namakubi Papi Chulo
When Matt Booth burst onto the scene a few years ago with his Room 101 cigar brand, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. And based on what I heard in the rumor mill at the time, I wasn’t alone. I saw the flash and style, but my gut told me that might be […]
La Flor Dominicana Colorado Oscuro No 4
It’s been a couple weeks, have you missed me? It killed me to leave my review slot vacant last week, but there just something about living out of a suitcase in a guest bedroom while your floorboards are torn up that make it hard to review a cigar. (Or even smoke one, for that matter.) […]
Leon Jimenes No. 4 Maduro
Up for review this week is a cigar that’s anything but new, and conspicuously petite in the face of the ongoing large ring gauge craze, the Leon Jimenes Corona No. 4 Maduro. You might wonder why, with all the new releases hitting the shelves this time of year I’d decide to burn something that’s been […]
Zino Platinum Z-Class 550 R
A couple of weeks ago a brand new Zino Platinum cigar joined the 8 year old Crown and Scepter lines. It’s called the Z-Class, and there’s no chance you’ll confuse it for its older brothers. But I’ll let the very informative press release introduce you: The Zino Platinum Crown and Scepter series launched in 2003 […]
La Flor Dominicana LG Diez Lancero 2010
These days it’s easy for lanceros to get lost in the beefy, large ring-gauged shuffle. Take for instance the cigar I’m reviewing this week, the LG Diez Lancero 2010. It fights for your attention in the humidor among the likes of the L500, DL660, the DL700, the Salomons and soon, the new 8 1/2 x […]
La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Matatan
I’ve got a treat for those of you who can’t get enough video cigar reviews. Once again I’ve teamed up with Rich Meade (aka “BootyRockRich“), a regular on the Stogie Review Forums, to bring you a joint review of the new La Flor Dominicana Air Bender Matatan. One of the fun things about talking cigars […]
La Flor Dominicana Coronado (Guest Review)
Back once again are our good friends Tom Adcock (Toms Cigars) and Ed Nazare (St. Pete Cigar) for another video cigar review. This time the guys set their sights on the La Flor Dominicana Coronado Double Corona. Due to the recent cold snap in Florida, the video runs a little faster than usual and comes […]
