Nat Sherman is one of those stops a cigar smoker just has to make when they visit New York City. If you’ve been in Manhattan, the chances are good that you’ve paid 42nd Street Nat Sherman Townhouse a visit. But if you’ve never been, the name is probably still familiar, conjuring up vague sepia-toned images […]
Asylum Cigars interview with Tom Lazuka
Welcome to another interview post that I was fortunate to get with Tom Lazuka, co-founder of Asylum Cigars, when he stopped by Genuine Tobacco. I appreciate Tom taking the time to sit down and have some fun on camera. Asylum Cigars has three labels right now, Asylum, Asylum 13 (I reviewed the 7×70) and the […]
Christian Eiroa at Genuine Tobacco
I had a chance to sit down with Christian Eiroa at Genuine Tobacco before the start of the Asylum/CLE event. I seem to be a tree stump but Christian does a great job explaining everything and giving a ton of useful information. He also talks about some upcoming projects which sound interesting. Without further ado, […]
Eddie Ortega at the 2012 Famous Smoke Shop Cigarnival
While attending the 2012 Famous Smoke Shop Cigarnival, Mike and I had the pleasure of hanging out with Eddie Ortega.

Interview with Steve Ysidron of Savinelli
When the name Savinelli is mentioned in the smoke shop, the first thing that comes to peoples’ mind is pipes. You can hardly blame them, Savinelli has been making pipes since Achille Savinelli Sr. opened up shop in Milan back in 1876. After a 135 years of doing something, you do build a bit of […]

Interview with Hal Rubin
As I mentioned in yesterdays El Cobre Short Ashes Review, I had plans to speak with Hal Rubin of Empire Cigars in regards to his house blend. The interview ran about 15 minutes overall and has some interesting information within it. I had some second thoughts about incorporating the entire interview into my upcoming review […]
A quick one on one with Christian Eiroa of Camacho Cigars
Lately I have been talking a bit about my recent trip to the Cigars International Superstore to record the Seminar with Christian Eiroa of Camacho Cigars. After the seminar I was able to sit down with Christian and kind of talk shop for a couple of minutes. While I thought it would be great to […]
