If you’re a regular viewer/reader of Nice Tight Ash you’ve probably noticed that I’ve been slacking the last few weeks. As the weather gets nicer, and weekend activities are picking up finding the time to sit down and get everything pulled together for a review has become tougher.

Berger & Argenti Clasico
A few months back I reviewed the Berger & Argenti Mooch which I really enjoyed. Shortly after trying the Mooch for the first time I began sampling the Clasico line. So a couple days ago I was digging though my humidor and found a couple of them in the bottom of a tray and decided [...]
