Quick Ash: Cabaiguan Petite
Hey folks! Back with a “Quick Ash” review for you this week and today I have the Cabaiguan Petite from Tatuaje. I reach for these sticks when time is limited and I need to get away for a short time. I look for small cigars that carry the full gambit of flavor and complexities of […]
Pinar Del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Capa Madura
A new blend from Abe Flores and Juan Rodriguez that fits into that budget consciences area for cigar smokers. From the looks of this stick you would never guess the price was as low as it is. Just a gorgeous presentation from the beautiful wrapper to the classy 2-tone dark, double band. From what I […]
Favorites: Habano
I was planning on having a review of the new Pinar del Rio 1878 Capa Madura up today but the video did not process by press time so I have for you the next list in my “Favorites†series (look for the PDR 1878 next Thursday). Today I have for you Habano wrapped cigars. Habano […]
Favorites: Connecticut
Based on a recent comment from Mark, I decided to do something a bit different this week and put up a list of favorites. These lists will be categorized by wrapper type and since the comment started when talking about the Camacho Connecticut, we’ll start there. To preface this list, there are a couple of […]
Oliva Serie G Natural
Back again for a “Humidor Staple” review with another Oliva product for you. This time it is the Oliva Serie G Natural Toro. This stick comes in at 6″ x 50 and is a great looking specimen. Like the O, the G has Habano seed binder and filler but sports a Cameroon wrapper. The value […]
La Flor Dominicana Air Bender
La Flor introduced the Air Bender earlier this year and the hook is that they are intense, sophisticated, and powerful. Not sure there is all that much difference between intense and powerful but I digress… The Air Bender comes in six sizes and today I have for you the 5″ x 50 Matatan. The blend […]
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
Continuing with the “Humidor Staple Series” that started with the Oliva Serie O, I have for you another cigar that finds its way into a lot of people’s humidors. The Rocky Patel Sun Grown is one of the cigars that hooked me on this hobby. As you will see in the video, things have not […]
Oliva Serie O
Today I am kicking off a new series of reviews that I am calling the “Humidor Staple Series.” In the ongoing attempt of all forms of cigar reviewing; whether it be magazines, blogs, etc.; we are always trying to get the reviews of the new stuff out there as soon as possible. While this is […]
Perdomo ESV 1991 Epicure
Happy Monday folks! Today I have a Perdomo Estate Selccion Vintage (ESV) 1991 Epicure for you. Nick Perdomo Sr. secured this tobacco in 1995. The fillers are a mix of tobaccos grown in Esteli, Nicaragua and harvested it 1991. The wrapper is a Connecticut Broadleaf. Todays size is a 6″ x 54 ring Epicure that […]
Nice Tight Ash Goes Rolling
A while back Chris and I took a trip down the road to check out the operation at Roberto Cigar and get a lesson in rolling cigars. We had a great time and learned a great deal about the art of cigar making. I want to thank Bob for taking the time to show us […]
