Oliva Connecticut Reserve Double Toro
This week I’m reviewing a cigar from a line of cigar which I haven’t really found to my liking. Its from a cigar manufacture that makes one of my all time favorite cigars, Serie V, which is Oliva Cigars. When Oliva released the new Connecticut line, I wasn’t blown away by it like many other […]

Berger & Argenti Mooch
With the weather getting colder I’m starting to look for even more coronas to add to my smoking rotation. I’ll sit out in the cold in just about any conditions to enjoy a cigar, but sometimes conditions only allow for a short smoke. So a couple weeks ago I found the Mooch “Minnie”, from Berger […]

Omar Ortez Puro Maduro

J Fuego Origen Original
While I was at IPCPR this year, one of the must stops on the show was Jesus Fuego’s booth as I’m a huge fan of the Gran Reserva Corojo No. 1, Delirum and 777 Corojo. I just had to see what new he had in store for us. While waiting at the booth, I notice […]

Quesada Tributo
It seems like a recurring theme amongst many cigar companies is a pride in family and tradition. The Quesada Tributo takes those themes and wraps them up in a cigar. The daughters, nephews and nieces of Manuel Quesada, self-titled the 5th Generation, created the Quesada Tributo as a tribute to their family and roots in […]

I know I’ve already reviewed the La Aurora 107 before, but this is a different vitola. The lancero size came about after a lengthy discussion one night on twitter between myself, La Aurora President, Guillermo Leon, Miami Cigars VP of Marketing and Finance, Jason Wood, Mike from Buckhead Cigars and Jose Blanco, General Manager of […]
