Emilio Grimalkin
Unless you active with the Twitter cigar community, you might not have heard of Emilio cigars. Its a boutique brand that is the brain child of Gary Griffith of Delaware Cigars. I had heard a lot of chatter on Twitter about their AF1 and AF2 cigars and the word was they were very good. While […]
Rocky Patel Thunder by Nimish
A couple of weeks ago I received a package from Patrick Vivalo at Rocky Patel Premium Cigars. Enclosed was two samples of a one of the new product lines. Since this week is the annual IPCPR trade show I thought it would be appropriate to review a cigar that will be debuted during the annual […]

Blue Mountain Cigars “El Threesome”
I recently received a package from Blue Mountain Cigars with a selection of their various offerings. The three different wrappers on this particular cigar caught my eye immediately. Then I realized that it was named El Threesome and I enjoyed a good juvenile laugh. The opportunity to try an El Threesome doesn’t come around every […]
E.P Carrillo Elencos Series
Today I’m firing up the Elencos Series from E.P. Carrillo. I first smoked this cigar about one and a half months ago, and since then I’ve smoked well over ten of these cigars. Because of local availability I’m smoking the Don Rubino for this review, which is a slightly elongated robusto. This cigar is available […]
Tatuaje 7th Capa Especial
Last year, Tatuaje Cigars introduced two new cigars to their Brown label called the 7th and 7th Reserva. Both were of the grand corona/corona gorda size (my fav) but different wrappers. The 7th uses the standard Habano Ecuador wrapper and the 7th Reserva uses the Connecticut Broadleaf. The Capa Especial uses a Sumatra wrapper like […]
