Considering the limited number of Mombacho Cosecha 2013 cigars that were actually produced (800 boxes), I’ve had a pretty good number of them since their release in mid 2018. Admittedly, some of them have been samples, but I’ve also taken advantage of a few opportunities to buy. So before I smoke my last couple, I […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 72
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), […]

I slacked off this week, I’ll admit it. Often I put off doing my cigar review homework until the last couple of days before the normal Wednesday time slot. This week Tuesday evening rolled around and I realized that not only had I not worked on it, I didn’t even know what cigar I was […]
