IPCPR 2018: La Flor Dominicana
In the La Flor Dominicana booth (or just outside it), the statuesque Antonio Gomez tells us that the company is taking it a little easy this year with the new releases. But they didn’t come to the trade show empty handed by any means. They’re offering, for your consideration, a new version of the “A” […]
La Flor Dominicana La Volcada
La Flor Dominicana introduced the La Volcada at this year’s IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. The cigar is named after a move in the tango dance where the gentleman dips his female partner and she bends her leg back towards him. The move is shown as a silhouette on the band. The La Volcada […]
IPCPR 2017: Complete Digest
At long last, the marathon of IPCPR 2017 coverage is complete. It took a little longer than expected to get them all posted, but then, we filmed a few more interviews than we did last year.

2017 is here, and just when you think it you’re safe from 2016, up pops my list of the top 10 cigars of 2016. I hope the sudden shock and inevitable controversy that follows is not too taxing on your health. Remember, breath deeply and evenly when you’re yelling at me over the internet. Stress, […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 106
This time of year can be a lot of fun, but it doesn’t always afford me many opportunities to enjoy a fine cigar. Or a lot of time to write about (or video) the cigars I do get to enjoy. But I did my best to shoehorn in as many as I could. The silver […]
