These cigars were rolled over one year ago and have been aging ever since. They are available in three sizes, 52 (5 x 52), the 54 (6.25 x 54) and the 56 (5.5 x 56). Today we review the 52.
A reader of the site posed some interesting questions. I asked him if it would be OK to post here, and he graciously agreed. I’ll weigh in with my two cents in a few days and I am curious to see what kind of comments this generates… Jeff Writes, I am only 3 months into [...]
I’ve been to De La Concha on 6th Avenue between 56th and 57th street numerous times but until the other night I was not aware of the house cigar. When GM Ron Melendi joined our monthly cigar club over at Club Macanudo for cigars, food and drink he brought with him some of these sticks [...]
I held off until now on commenting about the list that Cigar Aficionado put out with what they believe to be the top cigars of 2009. This post is a perfect example of how my opinions are not to win over and influence people. Or maybe it is. I guess it depends on what side [...]
Today’s cigar review is a joint effort with my friend Lindsay Heller. I know I have spoken about her before and I am going to indulge once again. She just started a website a while ago and we decided to review this cigar together. I was down at Holt’s in Philadelphia spending too much money [...]

When I heard the Opus X Lost City was going to be coming out from those who went to the trade show in August it had my intrigued to say the least for two reasons. The first reason being if it is new I have to try it. The second reason being I knew this [...]
I’m going to bring up twitter once again if you allow me the time to do so. There is a core group of cigar smokers in NYC who are very big into social media. We’ve all connected thanks to twitter. Granted some of us knew each other prior, but the media has allowed us to [...]
I have a bit of writers block and smoker’s block going on. I am not sure what cigar to write about and what cigar to smoke. So I reached out to fellow bloggers for a guest review. Thankfully Adam from Fire Up That Cigar answered the call. He was nice enough to review a cigar [...]
Twitter. You have all heard me mention it here on the site at various times. It’s really a great tool with connecting to other cigar enthusiasts as well as other interests you might have. The one big problem is that you only get 140 characters per posting. When your as opinionated as I can be [...]
Miami Cigar & Co. introduced this brand, named for its founder, in 2007. Now made under the supervision of Pepin Garcia in Nicaragua, it is medium-to-full in body and offered in boxes of 20. I recently picked up a box of these at the Cigar Inn event for the Jaime Garcia Reserva Especial a few [...]
