A Search on this site showed absolutely NO reviews for this cigar. Full name of this brand is La Flor de Jose Suarez Murias y Ca, but it goes by the shortened moniker "La Flor de Murias". Made by Cigars By Santa Clara in Santiago, Dominican Republic. 5-1/2 x 50 ring Conneticut Shade wrapper...

I copied this from today's StogieGuys Commentary (http://www.stogieguys.com/), as it's worth repeating: Sure it is tough times economically right now, but that shouldn’t deter you from buying cigars. In case you have any doubts (or need help convincing someone that now is the right tome to...

Time to revisit an old friend. Too often we forget about smokes like this in pursuing the 'next big thing'. And I'll bet lots of newbies never had some of these old reliables. I had this one for my Sunday breakfast, 8:15 A.M. - A 6-1/2 x 54 ring Robusto Larga, Honduras binder & filler with...

Mike's Cigars has these on special for only $14.95/bundle of 25. I know they're supposedly 2nds of La Gloria Habana &/or La Flor Dominicana, and that these longer ones (7.5 x 48 ring) are supposedly mixed filler. But has anyone tried them? Thoughts? I'm tempted to buy a bundle, as even if...

This is a new company, so I thought I'd share my impressions for what they are worth. I received this cigar as part of the initial Buy 2 & get a T-shirt for Shipping only Promo on March 26. I dutifully let the stogie sit for 3 weeks to acclimate before lighting up on April 15. Prelight...

I received an e-mail from Smoke Magazine today informing me that I've been selected to participate in their cigar reviews for the upcoming Spring '08 issue. How cool is that? Free cigars & the opportunity to mouth off my opinions in public, to boot!! :ss

I'm planning a short visit to Long Island for my (gasp) 30 year high school reunion in late July/early August. Taking place at the Uniondale Marriott, which is TOTALLY Nonsmoking. This is unacceptable, so I'm looking for another hotel in the vicinity to stay overnight (say 2-3 miles radius...

This will be a quick review, because I smoked it at work today for lunch & did not have a camera or take notes. 6"x50 Toro. Sungrown Ecuador Rosado wrapper, mixed Honduran and Ecuadoran fillers. Medium-brown wrapper with a great leathery feel. Price: Bundle of 50 for $25 plus $5 shipping...

I received this tasty stick from stogieguy a couple of months ago as part of the winnings in the cigar review contest he ran. So it's only fitting that I review THIS cigar, right? Right. Arganese Maduro Presidente Robusto. 5" x 50 ring Dominican filler & binder, Brazilian Matafina wrapper...

The following is an excerpt from the writings of Bill Armstrong, known as the "Sage of Sedona" (AZ). I was re-reading it this afternoon as I enjoyed my Torano Exodus 1959 Toro. Thought I'd share it with all of you: A Good Cigar The smoke swirls and dances...

Has anyone tried this blend? I did a search on this site (& Google), but came up with nothing. I'd really like some opinions on this, before 10:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Sunday 10/7, if possible. There's what looks like a pretty good 1-day only sale on CigarMonster.com, box of 20 for $60 &...

I've noticed over the past few days that the cigars I keep in my freezerdor (unplugged of course) have developed a sharp rubbing alcohol or acetone taste to them. Not good!! I routinely open it a couple of times a day, so I figured it was enough to "air out" the insides & avoid any buildup of...

Cigars Int'l is hyping them up, but can they run with the rest of the Camacho pack? I'm not so sure. Maybe time will tell. This is a Honduran, 6" x 43 ring. Excellent construction, as are all the Camachos, with a Criollo wrapper. And a very pretty label. She's pretty enough, sure, but can...

...of Don Tomas Maduro Allegros from General Cigar !!:ss Just got word this morning that I was picked Saturday for the daily box giveaway on their website, http://www.cigarworld.com/ I've been entering their giveaway promos almost daily for about a year with no results, so this is very cool...

My first experience with this, & a very enjoyable one at that! Here's the 'plug' from Famous Smokes: "With its rich-tasting Nicaraguan wrapper & binder, plus a complex blend of filler tobaccos from Honduras, Nicaragua and Peru, the Saint Luis Rey Belicoso is a medium to full-bodied cigar that...

Had this for lunch today, my only one from a Tinderbox sampler I got about 4 months ago. Vital stats: Country: Honduras Length/Ring: 5 1/2 x 52 Shape: Robusto Wrapper: Natural (Claro) Strength: Medium Pretty nice lunchtime smoke, if you ask me (whattaya mean you didn't?). Sturdy light brown...

That's right, 218 mps (miles per stogie)! Just got back from California this morning. I left at 6:00 a.m., lighting up an Arturo Fuente Royal Salute maduro as I slipped into gear. 3 hours & 5 minutes later, 218 miles down the road (with stops) and a little more than halfway home, I put the...

I'll be in San Diego July 11-13, leaving the 14th. My kind of seminar, as it runs 8AM - 12 Noon each day, leaving the rest of the day & night free for indulging. I'm staying in Point Loma, slumming it at my mate's aunt's house, but the seminar is at the del Coronado. Anyone in the area...

This is an excerpt from a book entitled "Tobacco Leaves", written by John Bain, Jr., published in 1903; its sentiments are as true here today: "DO'S, DON'TS, NEVERS AND REMEMBERS FOR SMOKERS Give your last cigar away occasionally. It will make you feel better. Don't...

I received this as part of a sampler a couple of months ago and smoked it last week. Just found my notes on it. This is a good cigar for those who don't like to finish what they start. Unlike stogies that you smoke the first 2/3 just to get to the best (last)part, this was reverse.:mad: It...
