Cigar Review: Tatuaje T110
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 24th, 2009
Today’s smoke is the first cigar I have taken a picture of with my new HTC Hero phone. The phone has a 5 mega pixel camera but it still came out a little grainy. I guess I have to play around with it, but it is better then the web-cam I was using in my [...]

Cigar Review: Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 20th, 2009
I searched high and low to find some information on this new release. The Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro is a limited edition produced in the Magistri size that I found in a recent trip to Philadelphia while at Holt’s on Walnut. The cigar was so good I had to bump up the review date to [...]
Cigar Review: Liga Privada T52
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 18th, 2009
The T52 is a blend that was in a holding pattern for a long time as Drew Estate has been working with a stalk cut habana leaf since 2006. The cigar even went through a re-blend during production as they could not decide on test blend #3 or #4. So blend 3.5 was developed and [...]
Cigar Review: Super Selection 12
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 16th, 2009
I know the cigars I have smoked lately have been a little repetitive due to the fact I recently went to the Davidoff of Geneva shop on Madison Avenue in New York City. Today’s smoke was a cigar shown to me by the General Manager, Michael Herklots who I first made acquaintance with on Twitter. [...]

Not really sure what to write about today. Baseball season is over, and football this year has been a snore for me. Despite liking the Saints and the Jets I can’t seem to get into it. I cheer for the Saints because I am a huge Drew Brees fan ever since his days at Purdue. [...]

Cigar Review: Davidoff Colorado Claro
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 11th, 2009
It seems like every time I turn around Davidoff has yet another Limited Edition cigar on the market. For me each one is better then the last. Formal limited-edition Davidoffs debuted in 2002 and there have been one or two new blends each year, including 2009. But another special-production popped onto the market last week [...]
Cigar Review: Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig
Posted by acigarsmoker on November 9th, 2009
I came across this cigar a week ago in Davidoff and to be honest as much as I wanted to smoke it I was hesitant that it would be a novelty cigar. The cigar is a limited edition smoke due to the size being difficult to roll with production being a little over 100 sticks [...]
