First Impressions: Nick’s Sticks
The other night Brian and I went to our local Tinderbox to pick up a few sticks and watch the U.S. Open. There were quite a few new cigars in the humidor, but one of the sticks that rally caught our eye was the latest offering from Perdomo, the Nick’s Sticks. Not only [...]
Cheap Ash: Vista de Cuba by Oliveros
You can thank my wife for today’s review. I took her to the cigar shop on Saturday and asked her to pick out a cigar for me to review. I figure that would be a good way to possibly try something different without any of my subconscious biases. She didn’t disappoint, because [...]
Cheap Ash: Punch Rare Corojo
A few weeks ago I asked you to tell me what cigars you’d like to see my review, and one of those suggestions actually surprised me. It was suggested that I review some of the older brands, such as Partagas, Hoyo de Monterrey, etc. I really like this suggestion because I think the [...]
Tabacos Baez Serie SF
Welcome to my Black Friday review of a Cheap Ash cigar. The Tabacos Baez Serie SF is a new addition to Tabacos Baez line from Don Pepin Garcia. What makes this cigar different is the fact that it is made up of 70% long filler and 30% short filler. Because of the [...]
Diesel Unholy Cocktail

Cheap Ash: Casa Fuego Toro
The Casa Fuego is a budget friendly stick from the maker of the well received J. Fuego Delirium, Grand Reserve Corojo No. 1, and the new 777 Corojo that Ben recently reviewed here. It is a Nicaraguan Puro rolled in Honduras. From what I can gather, this line is exclusive to Cigars International [...]
Cheap Ash: Padron Londres Maduro
This week I have a wallet friendly smoke for you. The Padron Londres is part of the regular line from Padron. According to the Padron website:
“All tobacco in this line is sun-grown habano that is aged for a minimum of two-and-one-half years. Every cigar in this line is available in natural and maduro [...]
Cheap Ash: Gispert Lonsdale
The Gispert line of cigars is produced by Altadis U.S.A. These cigars are produced in Honduras and are draped in a Connecticut Shade Ecuadorian wrapper. Looking back at many of my past reviews I noticed I was smoking a lot of medium to full bodied cigars, so I’m hoping this stick will be a pleasant [...]
Cheap Ash: Perdomo Fresco Maduro
It’s been awhile since we’ve done a Cheap Ash review (and I hadn’t done one yet), so I thought I’d smoke a cigar that’s pretty new to me, the Perdomo Fresco Maduro in the robusto size. It’s a 100% long-filler bundled cigar available for $3 or less. It also comes in a natural wrapped version.
Bahia Blu B500 Robusto
The Bahia Blu got a lot of talk on Twitter with the BOTLs, so I decided to try a bundle. A couple of clicks and I had one ordered from CigarsInternational.com. The Bahia Blu is a medium bodied cigar that is a Nicaraguan puro made by Tony Borhani. The wrapper is a [...]
