Write-Up Hello and welcome to a little bit of an event coverage video along with my first try of the Draig Cayuquero. Gary was kind enough to give me one out of the only box in the USA right now and I figured it would be fitting to smoke it while I blather on about […]
CHATweetUp 2013: Nomad Cigars
Fred Rewey’s a guy I’ve been meaning to talk to for a while. The opportunity presented itself a few weeks ago at the Chattanooga Tweetup, in a walk-in humidor conveniently stocked with plenty of Nomad cigars. In this interview, we touch on the Fugitive II, the Esteli Lot 1386 and the upcoming box-pressed Sumatra S-307. […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 26
Once again, a busy schedule has gotten in the way of a proper in depth review. And you know what that means: It’s 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 […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 22
It’s 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), along […]
La Musa Melete by Emilio Cigars (first impressions)
Here I am again, late as usual with my weekly post. It seems like I’m always apologizing… but then again, you guys keep coming back, so I must be doing something right. You’ll probably be glad to see that I’ve actually got a video uploaded this week. I recorded this first impressions clip last Thursday, […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 17
It’s time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. What’s the deal with all the Week in Smokes lately, you ask? Good question. The answer is as simple as this: the collection of interesting one-offs I’ve been saving for The Week In Smoke has gotten a little out of control. It’s time […]
Interview with Gary Griffith of Emilio Cigars
This past weekend, I headed back up to my old stomping grounds to visit Gary Griffith of Emilio Cigars at Cigar-ette City in Newark, Delaware. I bumped into Gary at the recent IPCPR trade show in Orlando, but he didn’t have a booth set up for Emilio this year and was busy running around placing […]
Top 10 Cigars – TGT Edition (2011)
Man where did 2011 go? Seems like the older you get the faster time goes by. Before 2012 gets here its time to look back at 2011. 2011 was another awesome year for cigars! I’m anxious to see what Walt, Brian, Mike and Charlie have listed this year. This year is no different than previous […]
Draig K by Emilio Cigars
Gary Griffith wears many hats. He manages a large chain of B&M cigar shops across Delaware, Maryland, and Virginia, he’s the developer of the Emilio Cigars brand, and he’s also an avid genealogist. To celebrate his Welsh heritage, Gary decided to create an annual series of limited releases centered around the national symbol of Wales. […]
