Its been a pretty rough month for me. As some of you know, I lost my job this past Tuesday. However, a positive I have had a chance to sit back and enjoy some very nice cigars. One of the best I have tried this month is from MarkinCA, a Camacho Petit Corona. I fired up this stick this...

Well, on a sad note the company I work for was bought out today by another and I was told that I would not be retained due to "budget constraints". This one is kind of tough because it was my first job since college. I know that things will work out, but for now I plan on taking the rest of...

Just now getting around to post this review for August. I decided to review the La Flor Dominicana Ligero from the awesome selection from MarkinCA. Pre-light: The construction of the cigar was rather rugged. There where quite a few veins throughout and the color was a little different from...

Just curious if anyone living in the very hot and humid South has a home smoking room with ventilation. I've got approval from the "boss" to convert a spare bedroom to a smoking room, but I don't know how I'm going to keep the room cool while smoking. I have a ceiling fan in the room now, but...

This month was a very busy month for this gorilla. I found it difficult to find time to enjoy a lot of cigars, but I have really enjoyed the few I have had. One in particular was gifted to me by MarkinCA. This wonderful little smoke was the Famous Nicaraguan 3000 robusto. I have heard a lot...

Hey Vino owners, I've had my Vinotemp for almost 4 mo. now. I have 2lb. of 65% beads in there along with cedar shelves, boxes and some of shilalia's bead sticks scattered about. I also have 2 Oust fans in the bottom facing the rear/center of the Vino. Here is the thing, I almost never have...

Just a few short months ago I received a Vinotemp from my wife for Valentines Day. When she bought it, I thought "There is no way I'll ever have enough smokes to fill this thing!" I was such an innocent noob back then. I had no clue how far and how fast I would slide down this so called...

What's everyones opinion of Los Blancos cigars? I had never heard of them until my local B&M started carrying them. I have tried all of the different styles and they are very good cigars in my opinion! The sumatra and conn. are my two favs. Anybody else know much about these?

This month MarkinCA sent me a very nice selection of Maduro cigars along with a very nice surprise of coffee. Immediately upon receiving the cigars for May, I decided to smoke a HDM Excalibur. I paired this cigar with a fresh ground cup of Sumatra coffee that Mark sent as well. My impressions...

For my second review this month, I chose the CAO Criollo. I will include some pictures below as well. I have had one of these before, but I didn't really pay much attention to it. I remembered it was a decent cigar, nothing special but nothing bad either. This time wouldn't prove much...

I picked up a 5'er of these from CBid and after a nice full meal, decided to fire one up. Not much complexity to this cigar, but it was very nice. My drink of choice for the afternoon was dark roasted coffee. Upon inspection, the cigar was pretty well constructed with a dark, oily appearance on...

This month for my first review I chose to go with a Rocky Patel OSG that was so generously given to me by MarkinCA. Let me just say that I have been somewhat biased against Patel and I don't really know why. I guess I am a little skeptical of his blends because he appears to have so many and...

Just wanted to make sure you guys know about the great deal on Pepin's at www.blackcatcigars.com. It looks like they had some kind of disagreement and he is trying to get rid of his Pepin stock. I just ordered a box of the Blue Generosos yesterday. It seems like pretty good prices to me...

I bought one of these from my local B&M out of curiosity more than anything else. I enjoy drinking coffee when I smoke so I thought it might be a pretty good combination for a cigar. I guess that is what Drew Estates thought as well. In short, I did not enjoy this cigar at all, and...

This month for my review I choose a Taboo Exotic Maduro that I was gifted by MarkinCA. I had been curious about this cigar before and was eager to give it a try. The only other Taboo I have tried is the Twist, which has become one of my favorite cigars. First Impressions: The cigar looked...

This is a review for a "mystery cigar" that Smokeyscotch sent along with a Illusione cg4 box split 5'er I bought from him. I am supposed to post a short review on the cigar and he will reveal what it was. My curiosity has gotten the best of me so I fired this thing up last night. First...

This is my second review for Feb. 2008. Today I chose to smoke a Mayorga "robusto torpedo" at least that is how I would describe it. I don't know much about these cigars, but the wrapper immediately caught my eye. The wrapper was a beautiful golden brown color that looked good enough to...

Just wanted to give a quick shout out to Taboo Cigars. If you haven't taken advantage of their latest coupons you should check out the savings. I don't know how they do it! I just placed my first order from them for a box of Hemingway Short Stories :tu and can't believe the deal I got...

Well, the slope just got steeper! I got home from work today and this is what was waiting for me in the garage! :ss:ss:ss I had almost talked myself out of buying a Vinotemp and just going with a cooler and then my wonderful wife surprises me with this beauty. Ain't I a lucky fella! P.S...

Just wanted to let MarkinCA and others know that I've posted my first review for February on the Reviews forum! thanks! Blues tiger
