Cigar Review: George A. Rico aka G.A.R.
Posted by Barry on September 27th, 2008
A few weeks ago I was at a herf with some acquaintances at the Montecristo Room in Harrison, NY and to be honest I can’t remember if I bought this cigar there or if it was gifted to me from a brother of the leaf. Over on Cigar Live there is a cult following of [...]
Cigar Review: H Upmann Reserve Maduro
Posted by Barry on September 25th, 2008
Every month I look forward to my package from Altadis as part of their VIP program to see what cigars they have sent me. This is a good thing as they send me cigars that I have forgotten about because I have become boutique cigar frenzied. H. Upmann cigars were founded in 1844 by a [...]

Cigar Review: Man O’ War
Posted by Barry on September 23rd, 2008
I held off a long time on ordering the Man O’ War cigar since it seems to be mail order only and let’s face it most cigars that are limited to some of the big mail order houses are pretty awful. But I caved in when cigar.com had a special of 3 cigars for $5.00. [...]
Cigar Review: Partagas 160
Posted by Barry on September 19th, 2008
I do not condone gambling but let’s face it. Boston and New York is such a rivalry between sports fans it is very rare you find two people that can get along cheering at opposite ends of the spectrum. As a die hard Yankee fan, when I was first contacted by the tea lover from [...]

I have been blessed with having the local CAO International Rep as a fan of my website. I shall leave him without a name at his request, but when I first started the blog, he was very supportive of my endeavor. Recently, I reviewed the Carlos Torano Noventa which was a stick I obtained from [...]

Posted by Barry on September 13th, 2008
One reason why I personally almost never order from online is because I like walking into a brick & mortar and being recognized by the owner or workers. Yesterday was a perfect example of this when I walked into the Cigar Vault in Brooklyn, NY. The owner, Joe saw me walk in and before you [...]
