Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve Corojo
For whatever reason good cigars fall in and out of my smoking rotation all the time. I’m not completely sure why that happens, but it probably has something to do with all of the great cigars that are out there to try. Much is the case with the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve (OWR) Corojo. [...]
Cigar Review – Gran Habano Cabinet Selection
I haven’t smoked many cigars from Gran Habano, but what I have had I’ve liked and I thought the price point for the cigars were outstanding.

Arganese ML3

Restrictive Measures Proposed for Maryland Tobacconists
A new bill has come up before the Maryland legislature that would greatly harm all of the tobacconists (and by extension, cigarsmokers) in the state. House Bill 88 would, among other things, restrict tobacconists to purchasing cigars solely from in-state distributors.
