Today I smoked the NEW PLAYBOY made by Altadis Cigars. As I opened the remarkable box they arrived in, I was quite pleased. I first noticed three caps and a well constructed cigar. A nice medium brown color to the wrapper with no large veins. The aroma was sweet and it felt right between my...

All the blenders that I have met have said that the Corona will be the best size for flavor. It is because of the temp that it burns at is the, supposed perfect heat for the tobacco. The blenders put the perfect combination of filler binder and wrapper for their respected pallets. even though...

I smoke and love the ant, but did not care for the C. But I am not a con fan. PS The price is going up. JdN was just purchased by Drew Estates and the Ant went up $20 a box in VA this month.

It is a personal choice. I like some box press: Padron Anniversario 1964, or Series 1926 and others I don't 5 Vegas, Indian Tabac. Experiment and have fun. If you are confused, try an Anejo by A Fuente. The cap and head is round torpedo and the body is square. By the way, box press is done...

We were staying in Puerto Plata at the Riu Bachata and our driver took us to Santiago. Plenty of pictures though. Thanks... I mean Gracias...

The funny thing is that we met the master roller who did those but didn't take the picture. I just kept say " I'm not worthy, I'm not worthy" We saw them roll various Fuente, VSG, Hemingway, Don Carlos, Diamond Crown, Anejo and Opus X, but did not get the chance to watch him roll the special...

Hey Gang, Just got back from the D.R. Great weather and a great time. We had the pleasure of meeting Lucy, Carlito's assistant and Sam Mendez. Carlito Fuente's right hand and the manager of the A Fuente factory in Santiago... He gave us the VIP tour of Fuente. I have several photos posted @...
