Lately on Twitter there has been talk about the freeloaders of the cigar community who hide behind having a facebook page or cigar review site and using that as a medium to get free cigars. It has become an epidemic lately and it is a sad state of affairs that I hope to talk to [...]

An Interview with Dion Giolito

illusione-cigars

Dion from illusione was nice enough to sit down with us and answer some questions as we recover from an upper respitory illness that has prevented us from smoking. I can’t thank him enough for taking the time out of his busy schedule to answer a few questions. As you know we here at acigarsmoker.com are big fans of his cigars. From the original illusione line, Cruzado, Cuchilos Cubanos, Epernay and the new Nosotros.

Saturday Night Special Version 1.0

I get so many emails each week about various cigar shops having a sale I thought it would be cool to share them here. I decided to do the first ever inaugural Saturday Night Special with some specials that friends are running. While most of these people I know via twitter I have had the good fortune to meet a couple of them. The next one won’t be for at least a month after I get some feed back from the participants.

So read the rest of this posting and see what they have to offer!

Event Review: Miami Cigar Extravaganza

The boys at Cigar Inn definitely know how to throw a party. On Saturday December 12, 2009 I decided to head into midtown Manhattan to check out the Miami Cigar Extravaganza with my good friend and business partner Sonny who has contributed to this website in the past. I was eager to obtain a box [...]

Sunday Links

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Last night in NYC we had our first snowfall. Big wet flakes, that thankfully did not stick. Christmas is a special time of year where most people become jolly regardless of what is going on around them. It’s also the time of year where Anejos and Opus [...]
