JC Newman Diamond Crown Julius Caeser Pyramid

I have a love/hate relationship with Diamond Crown cigars.  I don’t really enjoy the regular line and the Maximus line is hit or miss with me.  They can either be fantastic or  a complete dud when I smoke them.  I know.  Its strange.  So when JC Newman approached me to sample these cigars, I was […]


Monte Pascoal

I was recently sent a few samples, three Robustos and three Double Coronas, of the Monte Pascoal. These cigar are Brazilian puros and feature both Mata Fina and Mata Norte tobacco. I’ve had a good experience with Mata Fina tobacco in the past, so I was looking forward to trying these cigars. Name: Monte Pascoal […]


Lou Rodriguez Edicion Reserva Bom Bom

While visiting my favorite cigar shop in New Orleans, Crescent City Cigars, the owner, Armando Ortiz, was telling me about a new cigar he is bringing into his store that he just sampled.  He raved about this new cigar and told me I needed to try it.  This new cigar company is called Lou Rodriguez […]


Avalon Numbers Series 46

I first heard about Avalon Cigars a few years back on an episode of Dogwatch Cigar Radio and instantly became interested in the brand. The fact that a couple guys from Mississippi with a passion for cigars and the Blues, were able to harness that passion and develop a cigar company is just the kind […]


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 […]

Tatuaje Havana VI Hermosos

So yesterday I made the 2 hour drive to The Humidour Cigar Shoppe in Cockeysville, MD for a Tatuaje event. After five plus hours of smoking Tatuaje cigars I just felt like I should keep the streak going today and review one. I decided on the Havana VI Hermosos because I can’t get enough Corona […]


Reinado Torpedo

Recently, I was contacted by Antonio Lam about trying out his new cigar line.  I heard some buzz about Reinado at IPCPR, but I wasn’t able to make it by his booth.  Luckily, he found me on Twitter was sent me some samples of this cigar.  This cigar comes in a robusto, torpedo and churchill.  […]
