Nicaraguan Cigar Co. Condega Serie F Petite Robusto

Boutique or “Salon” cigar companies are coming up in the cigar community more and more each day. I was searching on Twitter for new companies and came upon a new company called Nicaraguan Cigar Co. and figured, why not follow them and see what they are all about. Shortly after I was offered to review […]


Torcido Lancero

I’ve got a little theme going on with the recent reviews and that is “house brands”. Last week, I did a review on Bonita Smoke Shop “Time Warp” and this week I will be taking a look at the Torcido Cigars Lancero from Just For Him out of Springfield, MO. Just for Him is a […]


Bonita Smoke Shop Time Warp

You see them almost everywhere these days; house branded/blended cigars. From your mega online retailers, to your Mom n Pop B&Ms, they are everywhere. I, like probably most of you, are always on the look out for that “diamond in the rough” house brand cigar. A cigar that doesn’t cost a whole lot, but delivers […]


CAIN Daytona Lancero – Studio Tobac

When the Cain Daytona line first came out, I was in no hurry to try one. I didn’t much care for the other Cains. Just couldn’t find one that fit my tastes. But then I heard the Daytona was a less powerful, and more flavorful Cain. So I figured, why not try one. I bought […]


Elogio Habano Edicion Limitada Salomon

Several months back, Armando Ortiz, owner of Crescent City Cigars in New Orleans, told me about an exciting new cigar line he had started carrying.  He was amazed by the quality of the cigars and the great flavor.  That new cigar line is Elogio Cigars.  I had heard a little bit about them before Armando […]

A. Fuente Between The Lines

Today I’ve reached deep into my humidor to smoke a fairly rare cigar. The Fuente Between The Lines comes from the Hemingway Series and sports a barber pole wrapper. Watch the video to find out what I think of this hard-to-find cigar. Name: Between The Lines Company: A. Fuente Wrapper: Connecticut Shade & Maduro Binder: […]


Cigar Journal- 1

Time has not been on my side for a number of months now… as I’m sure you’ve been able to tell by my lack of posting. The good news, or maybe it’s bad news, is I’m getting my ass in gear and starting to prepare some fresh new content for your enjoyment. However, when I […]


Crowned Heads Headley Grange

For music people, when you mention Headley Grange, they immediately think of Led Zeppelin and their iconic records that were written there like Led Zeppelin III, IV, Houses of the Holy and Physical Graffiti. Not only did Led Zeppelin record and reherse there, but so did Fleetwood Mac, Genesis, Bad Company and Peter Frampton along […]
