Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Serie
Today Brian and I are firing up the Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta Serie. This cigar has actually been in a limited amount of stores for almost a year, but now seems to be creating some buzz. We were able to procure some samples from Drew Estate, the distributor for Joya de Nicaragua, so [...]
Padilla Achilles
I’ve been doing a little digging in my humidors lately, and as a result I’ve found some cigars that I either forgot I had, or haven’t had in a while. So is the case with the Padilla Achilles.
The wrapper on this cigar is a wonderful caramel shade of brown and slightly oily. [...]
5 Vegas Cask Strength
The 5 Vegas Cask Strength features a blend of tobaccos from 4 different countries: Nicaragua, Dominican Republic, Honduras and Peru. These tobaccos were blended to create a medium to full-bodied cigar that’s full of flavor. But as always, I’ll give it a try and let you know what my take is.
Just like many [...]
5 Vegas “AAA”
I just can’t get enough of the Pennsylvania Broadleaf Maduro wrappers. So I’ll admit I’m on a bit of a quest to find any cigar that features that leaf. In my book any cigar is worth a try. So that what brings me to the 5 Vegas “AAA”. This was one [...]

Since this is the first Sunday of 2010, and by this time most people have already broken their New Years Resolution, I thought I’d list my 5 Cigar Resolutions for 2010.
Resolution No. 1
I resolve to find my new favorite cigar. It’s so much fun trying new cigars or revisiting old favorites. In all [...]
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 [...]
Sunday Fiver: November 22, 2009
I recently received an e-mail from Partagas concerning their new Benji Menendez Partagas Master Series Majestuoso. To kick off the launch of their new Limited Edition cigar, Partagas will be hosting a series of events. I have provided an excerpt from the email below with all the pertinent information.
As a fellow cigar lover, we thought [...]
Where the F is Brian…
That is the question all of the Cigar World is asking. Ok, ok maybe just 1 person (thanks Mike).
But, in case there are 1 or 2 others out there who give a crap, I am still here. Unfortunately a series of events have prevented me from doing any sort of reviews over [...]
