I was meaning to save this cigar for a special occasion because of the price and how uncommon it is, but I realized that everyday is a special occasion, so time to bust it out. I received this cigar as part of a sampler I purchased here on CS some time back. Setting: Once again in the...

I got a few of these babies from Aaron (Montecristo #2) a while back and decided to break one out of the humi and try it out. I'm not sure how long they've been resting, but it'd been long enough.:) Setting: I was relaxing in my fishroom with the pooch, surfing the net, and listening to some...

I decided to stop at my local B&M to browse and see if they had anything new and exciting, and I found a stick I haven't seen before. They were banded Fundacion Ancestral, and I picked up the Pinar del Rio 1941 variety of this brand. Anybody smoke these yet?

I don't know what's wrong with my tastebuds, but I just haven't enjoyed the last several stogies I've smoked. I smoked a great looking gifted smoke from a fine BOTL that I didn't like, a Graycliff Expresso that tasted like A$$, and a Monte Edmundo that didn't taste much better.....me not liking...

About this time last year I couldn't tell you the difference between a Phillies Blunt and a Cuban Cohiba, or the difference between a Churchill and a Petit Corona. A ziplock bag containing about 4 or 5 cigars became my "humidor" and I loved RyJ Reserve Reals (:BS ). In the past year, I've gone...

I've not had a ton of experience with Ghurka cigars and I've never, until now, smoked this one, so I wasn't sure what to expect. It was a large cigar with a 52 RG, so I was afraid I would get bored with it. I was wrong. It had a nice appearance and pleasant pre light aroma. Upon lighting I...

I finally got my new Aristocrat Mini today. Someone's signature says it best "time drags by when waiting for an Aristocrat". It's a beautiful humidor. Very well crafted by Bob, and I couldn't be happier with it. I got the Mini, and I'm glad I did. It's just the right size for me. Enough...

Well, this was my first VSG, and I was hoping it would live up to the hype. Well, it did. It was very, very good. It had a nice, dark, well constructed wrapper. The draw was a little tight, which is how I prefer it, and it produced lots of nice aromatic smoke. The taste was also very...
