Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 50
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. This one’s a little out of the ordinary, as it includes a birthday, which is traditionally my High MSRP Cigar Day. I didn’t succeed in spending a day doing nothing but burning high-end cigars, even though I made several attempts, but I […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 48
It’s once 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), […]
Asylum 13 99 Problems Lancero
Asylum 13 has been one of the hottest brands on the market lately and it’s no surprise why. They have been making very good cigars for a very good price for the past couple of years. Most stores haven’t been able to keep them in stock, buying as much as they can, when they can. […]

Room 101 Cigars: Daruma Mutante
Back in June, Mike and I attended the 2013 Famous Smoke Shop Cigarnival. We did a joint review while we were there of the Room 101 Cigars Daruma Mutante. The video slipped through the cracks and probably should come with the tag ‘lost tape’. I came across it while editing video of a review I […]
CHATweetUp 2013: 262 Cigars
We missed Clint at the trade show this year, so I made a point of catching up with him at the recent Chattanooga Tweetup to talk cigars. In this video he talks a little about the new Revere Lancero, the Paradigm Corona, possible limited edition fall seasonal blend and his mission to turn every cigar […]
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Lancero
The A. Fuente Don Carlos lancero is quite a rare cigar. Only available originally from Casa Fuente or Carlito himself, these cigars have recently been available in gift sets from Prometheus, limited edition humidors from Fuente Cigars or in boxes of 13 that were available to a very select few retailers. I was lucky […]
