Friday night I went to watch a cigar rolled in person for the first time . It was held at Cigar Alley in Merchantville , NJ . It's a small shop with a pretty good selection in their walk-in humidor . Talked with a few shop regulars and watched the roller do his thing . They weren't selling the...

Today I had a 601 Blue label Toro and after I removed the band I was intrigued by how similar this cigar looked like a Famous Nic 3000 . Both made with Nicaraguan tobacco if I'm not mistaken , same shape(slight box press to it)and color . The taste was similar but not as good as the Nic 3000 . I...

A little cold out today . I was outback playing ball with my dog having a Famous Nic 3000 toro(love these cigars , worth every penny) when it dawned on me "This is my smoking jacket" . I've been smoking a bunch lately and with this jacket the cold doesn't seem to bother me for quite a while ...

I was reading into detail about the current cigars on my favorites list of late and noticed that most had a corojo wrapper . So I went to Famouscigars.com and looked at some of their cheaper lines with corojo wrappers . I bought 5ers of La Gran Fuma toros (pretty good , really kicked up towards...

Appearence was beautiful , satiny sheen to the dark brown wrapper , smelled of cedar and tobacco with a little something extra , one word - delicious . I took a few pre-light draws , perfect :dr . Put the torch to it and started the experience . These cigars are like no other , full of delicate...

Went to Holts today in Philly and scored 2 King B's , 1 Opus X Royal 8 Tubo and an ESG . Thanks for the tip on the King B's Lance . I've been searching for them for a long time .

Well , with the urging from Lance I had to burn this rare cigar . He warned me of possible mold problems with it and when I checked it out I found what was probably the beginning of mold on it - little white spots . So I wiped the spots off and put it back in the cello in my humi for a few days...
