I had one of these in my Humidor for a while. Did not know anything about it and lit it up. I was actually pleasantly surprised. It is a pyramid 6.5" x54. It looked OK, maybe slightly veiny, but good construction with no soft spots. It had a firm draw, neither tight or loose, just about...

I ran a Tour de France Contest a couple of months back. The winner was Spooble. I figured I would include something French in the package so I ordered a fiver of Maxim's de Paris and threw a couple in the prize pack. It is a nice enough looking cigar. Smooth Connecticut shade wrapper, well...

I got home from work today and there was a package from C-Bid on the side porch waiting for me. I opened the door to let Parker the Wonder Dog out so he can do his business. While I go to get something out of my car, Parker takes a whiff of the box and gets ready to lift a leg. I said "No...

It has started again, after more than a year away. I get one of those emails for 14 H. Upmans in a 40 Cigar Humidor and I think, what a fine addition to my Cigar Lounge that will make (when I get around to finishing off the extra bedroom). But now I am scouting the Devil Site. There have...

I had to throw away HDN Antano. There was some mold growing on it. And it was not plume. It was white, but fluffy, almost looked like cake frosting. Better safe than sorry. Everything else looks OK at least. I will watch this humidor. It is the one that I use for all the cigars I get in...

I have never had a bad one yet, but the Gurkha I just tried to smoke was plugged. I tried poking a hole through it, rolling it in my fingers to find the tight spot, bit nothing is happenning. Guess I will just toss it and find something else.... Here we go, and Indian Tabac Super Fuerte...

I piceked up a couple RP Old World Reserves yesterday. It is about 6 by 50 pox pressed and beautifully packaged with a leather look paper at the foot. The construction was good. The burn was slow but a little uneven. Though I did light it right in the shop. It could probabbly settle a bit...

I was ordering from JR and thought I would order me a new ashtray for the car: It seems to work as advertised. Mine was black with white specks on it. It sits nicely against my car door. THough it would be nice if it was adjustable since not all car doors are the same width. It cradles...

I won a box of La Vieja Habana Early Years Silencio on C-Bid. I have had the chance to smoke a few of these little gems and will post my thoughts. Construction: This is a small smoke 4" x 46. The four I have smoked have been consistant, one from a bomb and three from my box. THe burn is...

Sirius has changed around the channel line-ups. The 117 chalnnel that Cigar Dave was on is now the Grand Ole Opry. After a little searching, I found tthat they moved him to 144 Sirius Patriot. They good noews is you will be able to hear him live from on Saturdays. But they will proabaly...

Well, I bought my 100 qt Coleman Cooler. I could barely get the top closed on my two 50 quart coolers. So I figured I would buy a 100 qt. It is amazing how big these things look empty and how fast they fill up on you. The Coleman was $39 at Sports Authority. The inside is grooved, so I...

This is a seasonal release from Partagas. They are a box pressed cigar that was ras so square that it felt a little akward in the mouth at first. It is 6" by a 54 Ging Guage. THere was a buy two get one free promotion on these at many tobbaconists. So I got three of these for $14. THe...

This cigar caught me off guard a bit. I had heard mixed reviews on this series. I was not quite sure what to expect. THe cigar is 5" x 52 with a cameroon wrapper and binder. I find cameroon wrappers to be a little fragile at times. It was ok other than a couple of small cracks that...

I did it. I went a week without ordering from the Devil Site. Of course I spent about $90 on Hemingways and Opus X last week, but I did not use the Devil Site. :fu I will probably use it again this week, but I am bing more selective in my purchases. There are a few brands that I like and...

Well, one of the shops not too far from me has gotten in their Opus X shipment. Another has had good pricing on my favorite Hemmingway. So now in addition to my Devil Site Addiction, I am fighting off Fuente Addiction too!!! Here is the damage from the last couple of weeks: 8 Hemingway...

I got one of these a few weeks ago in my Newbie Sampler Trade with Mobsix. It is 6.5" by 54 ring guage. It had been resting a few weeks and I finally got around to smoking it last weekend. The construction was at great. No soft spots, smooth clean wrapper, firm draw. It was a great looking...

I saw an add for Macanudos and it said they are the top seling premiun cigar in the US. I just dont get it. I have smokes a few of them here and there. They are a pretty mild smoke that never grabbed me. The Robust blend I did not like that much either. I also do not know of any regular...

I also picked up a few of these on the Clearance Table at the B&M along with the Ovations. It is a torpedo shape 6" x 54. It was another cigar that I had been looking to try out, so I was happy to see them on sale. They have a rustic looking brown wrapper. The draw was easy and smooth. The...

I picked up several of these at a B&M that was closing them out for half off. I got both the Corojo and Maduro. These are a wide Robusto sized cigar 5" x 54. Both had great construction with a firm ash, even burn and a light draw. THe wrappers have some veins, but are not bad at all. The...

THese are a first rate smoke. I got a 5 pack in a sampler and think I will be getting more of these. It is a Robusto size, 4.7" x 50 that has a nice medium to full bodied flavor. It is a Nicaraguan that retails in the $5 a stick range. THe construction was good. THe wrapper is a little...
