I ran into the Rocky Patel representative today and she gifted me with the Rocky Patel Vintage 1990 after I mentioned I just reviewed the 1992 this past week. So I figured I would continue the vintage trend and cross this one off my list.

Cigar Review: Davidoff Reserva 12
Posted by Barry on February 27th, 2009
A friend in a cigar shop I spend some time in gifted me with today’s smoke, the Davidoff Reserva 12. It amazes me how often someone will gift me a cigar, but I am totally floored when it is a cigar of this nature. Five different filler tobaccos were used to produce Davidoff’s Reserva 12 [...]

Today’s review comes courtesy of TriMarkC, one of the regulars readers of acigarsmoker.com as well as a follower on Twitter.

Cigar Review: Rocky Patel 1992
Posted by Barry on February 24th, 2009
It’s hard to believe that 10 months into acigarsmoker.com that I have yet to review the Rocky Patel Vintage 1992. One of my first go to smokes, I lost my way and started smoking new stuff every time I lit up. Today I decided to take a trip down memory lane. While I prefer the [...]

About a week ago my friends at Barrister Cigars went to the Rocky Patel factory. Ever the gracious host the owner of Barrister invited me to go on the trip but due to certain circumstances I was unable to commit to the trip. Dave was nice enough to file the following report for the website.

A friend from Cigar Outcast gave me 2 tickets and I had a blast. I took some amazing photographs which I should have on-line in about [...]

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Between The Lines
Posted by Barry on February 20th, 2009
The Arturo Fuente Between The Lines is a rare smoke. Not many stores get them and they usually fly off the shelf. I came across two of these cigars via a trade with a great brother of the leaf on twitter by the name of Matt. The cigar is also an example of cigar websites [...]

Posted by Barry on February 19th, 2009
I picked this cigar up last week in Philadelphia and it was the first time I saw them in a B&M. I have seen them on-line, and I guess because of that most people do not carry them. However with Pennsylvania currently having no cigar tax they can get away with cigars that are usually [...]
