I've smoked almost every cigar out there and I'm still looking for a good, dependable consistent smoke. I don't know how many times I've tried different Marcas and decided, "This smoke is perfect', I'm buying 2-3 boxes!", only to be disappointed in the inconsistency of the smokes when I get...

I just received this sampler from Macanudo last week! I know what you're thinking! They taste like cardboard, right? This one is definitely the best Macanudo I've ever had! Spicy, medium in strength, and complex! Special is $7.95 & $2 S&H. 1-888-289-3020 (Macanudo Site) for a 3-cigar...

A special-aged sun-grown from the Oliva family. The Special ‘S’ is an attractive handmade that boasts a silky sun-grown wrapper grown in Ecuador. After fermentation, this choice leaf is aged in Spanish cedar for a minimum of 5 years, adding rich layers of flavor to this (already) robust and...

I smoked my second DPG yesterday & thoroughly enjoyed it! My first was a DPG Blue label which was very rich and tasty. This cigar was the DPG Series JJ Belicoso, 7X52 Nat. Initial draw & burn were very smooth and even. I expected a lot of pepper, but I only noticed a light touch. The smoke...

Anyone know where I can purchase air pillows for shipping cigars? I've looked all over town and can't find any. Thanks! Greg

Hal (HK3) asked me to do a comparison review between the CC and NC Por Larranaga. He generously sent me 10 various vitolas in the NC version from Early '08 and I had a Nov. '06 CC PL Panatella from D'Ball. Thanks so much for the sticks, guys! On to the review. Por Larranaga NC 5X46 ( Smallest...

I didn't want to write another review, but, after smoking this cigar, I just had to! I received this beautiful smoke from Tim (smokeyscotch) from a group box split several weeks ago. I rested the 5-pack for 2 weeks. This cigar is the Illusione "68", Bombone 4X44RG, a "Full bodied, Peppery...

I wrote a review on 3/18/08 on this same cigar in which I had issues with the wrapper swelling & cracking. I lit up a fresh Oliva "O" Natural torpedo that I purchased this morning from the local Tinder Box B&H. The salesman is a super guy who fixed my lighter for free, so I wanted to at least...

I received a phone call last night, after I went to sleep, from my sister in Texas. (I hate those late night phone calls! They're never good!) My Dad has been very sick for the last year and no resuscitation measures are to be done. Apparently He has had a stroke. His breathing is labored...

After enjoying a Taboo Special Forces Boot Camp last night, I decided to fire up Rob's stronger cigar, the Special Forces Original Robusto. I wanted to describe the differences between the two cigars. #1. Taboo Special Forces Boot Camp- 6X56 Torpedo Maduro #2. Taboo Special Forces Original...

O.K., gorillas, after all the positive info I've seen recently on the forum about Ronson lighters, I broke down and bought one at Wal-Mart today for $2.99! My question is: Should I refill with my Vector fuel that I already have, or follow the manufacturer's recommendations and only use "Ronson...

I'm driving to Key West in June. Any recommendations as to local cigar shops? Thanks!

I couldn't sleep this morning after a early wedding party yesterday. I got up to fix my morning coffee (Gevalia Breakfast Blend- Try some if you're a coffee nut like me!). Rummaged through my Humi, trying to find a good morning smoke to go with my coffee. A Taboo Twist Robusto (5X54) that I...

bilkay sent me a very generous "Bomb" the other day after I noted on a thread that I needed to try a Hemingway Short Story some day. He showered me with a multitude of great smokes. Among them was this A. Fuente Hemingway Short Story Cameroon (4.5X 46/49) that I fired up this morning. After...

I found a Hoyo de Monterrey "Hoyo de Tradicion" Epicure 5.2X 50 that had rested in my Humi for several months and was trying to hide from me! I picked it up & noticed the beautiful light brown sheen to the cigar & a very pleasant, "woodsy" aroma. After lighting, I noticed a touch of bitterness...

Tonight I'm reviewing one of my all-time favorites, A Rocky Patel Vintage '92 Churchill 7X 48RG. The cigar is a box-press, something I'm not used to, but fits nicely in your mouth. Beautiful, rich, oily sheen to this cigar with a nice Sumatra wrapper. Initial draw & burn were perfect and...

To celebrate Easter, I fired up one of my all-time favorite smokes, a Bolivar Dominican I purchased from www.mikescigars.com in a 3-pack on 2/22/08 for $12.20!!! A great cigar at a great price!!! This baby has a great "tobacco" aroma pre-light. Burn was very even, but the draw was a little...
