Posted by Barry on August 26th, 2009
I know I just reviewed the Cain Maduro, but the cigar was so good I had to smoke the Cain Habano samples that were gifted to me as well. If this cigar is half as good as the last one, I’ll be happy. Once again these cigars are distributed by Oliva and from the mind [...]

Cigar Review: Cuban Stock Royal Selection
Posted by Barry on August 17th, 2009
One thing I think every cigar smoker should do is venture out to different cigar shops. Staying true to one shop locks you into the choices that owner makes for his humidor. Sure a good shop will listen to its customers, but your still pretty much locked in. This past week I ventured to a [...]
