I had started working on a Week In Smoke for this week, but as I was drinking my coffee, a blend from Counter Culture called Apollo, a thought occurred to me- I’ll bet the Puro Vintage I smoked last week would go pretty well with it. So I dropped my pen (or keyboard), grabbed one, […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 95
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), […]
Perdomo Double Aged SunGrown 12 Year Salomon
Cigar This week I take on a super long named cigar, the Perdomo Double Aged SunGrown 12 Year in the Salomon shape.

La Flor Dominicana LG Diez Lancero 2010

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 6
Back by at least one request, it’s time once again for 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 more likely, the past month), along with a couple of […]
