State of the Ash Address 2010
My fellow ash-holes,
Today marks the first anniversary of Nice Tight Ash! It has hard to believe that it was only one year ago that Chris and I launched this site, hoping to contribute to the cigar community that has given us so very much. We hope we have been able to contribute something back to that community as well.
Chris’ Version of a Top 10
This time of year so many of the cigar blogs publish their Top 10 lists for the year. And although I see how these lists are beneficial, I personally don’t feel like I can create a single list. Honestly, there are just too many factors to consider.
So, I decided to create two lists [...]
Brian’s ‘09 in Review
HAPPY NEW YEARS EVE everyone! Let me first start off by saying that I was not planning on doing a top ten list as I feel they are entirely played out. A caveat to that is that despite my feelings on these lists, it sure was fun to put it together and look back at everything [...]
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of 2009
Well, it’s that time of the year again where we all put out our Top 10 cigars of the year. These cigars are the ones I’ve thoroughly enjoyed over the year. My criteria was taste, price, availability, how many I had over the year. I’ve got them arranged 1 through 10, but [...]
Charlie’s Top 10 Cigars of 2009
It’s that time of year where Top 10 lists abound, and hey, we’re no different. I’m kicking off a week long look at our favorite cigars from 2009. Any of the cigars we’ve reviewed this year were eligible for consideration. One of the things about doing a site with 3 other great guys like Chris, Ben, and Brian is we don’t always get to review everything we want. Other guys get to it first, and we think, “Damn. I really like that cigar.” So you won’t just find stuff I’ve reviewed in my list. But I have smoked them all, whether I mentioned them or not. I didn’t pick cigars purely on taste. Price and availability also came into play.
Troop Donation Update and Drawing for Give-Aways
Merry Christmas Eve NTA Nation! Just wanted to thank you all for supporting us this past year and a HUGE thanks goes out to all of you who donated to the troops. We shipped a total of 575 smoke overseas last week to 3 different detachments in Iraq and Afghanistan. Also, I [...]
