Alec Bradley released the Alec Bradley Black Market Filthy Hooligan last year just before St. Patrick’s for the 5th year in a row. The cigar was originally released in an all candela wrapper, but changed to a barber pole wrapper last year. Barber pole cigars are always eye catching so when cigar companies use them, […]
Aguila Cigars – Flight Review – CONTEST (Contest ended)
I was recently approached by iHavanas to review their new Aguila cigar line produced in Nicaragua. iHavanas is mainly known for being one of the premier sellers of Cuban cigars, but with the growing interest in Europe for Nicaraguan cigars, iHavanas has brought out their own Nicaragua cigar for this new and growing fan base. Not […]
Hoyo La Amistad Robusto
This July at IPCPR 2016, Brian and I were taken around the General Cigar Company’s booth by Victoria McKee-Jaworski, director of public relations for General Cigar Company, who showed us their new offerings.

IPCPR 2016: Warped
We missed Kyle Gellis at last year’s IPCPR, so we made a point of getting on the Warped schedule this time around as soon as we could. You might wonder why Brian, with the formidable beard is not in front of the camera facing off with Kyle’s equally robust beard for this interview. The answer […]

Davidoff Winston Churchill Churchill
When Davidoff released this new version of the Davidoff Winston Churchill cigar line, I knew a few people that were wondering what to expect from this release. The first version of the Winston Churchill line wasn’t really well received with most cigar smokers because they were pretty expensive and were pretty mild in body and flavor. […]
Nica Rustica El Brujito
Love it or hate it, it’s the most crazy time of the year. There are more events calling for a great cigar in this 6 week period at the end of the year than at any other time. But for most of us, it’s the also the most difficult time to find time and a […]
