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: Alec Bradley Family Blend
Posted by acigarsmoker on August 14th, 2009
I broke down and bought a netbook the other day so I could write reviews from the road and do research for my job. So far I love the unit but I feel like if I lean on it I will break it. I first came across this cigar at Fume Cigars in Montclair, NJ [...]

My business partner is a big fan of the Montecristo ISOM A Size cigar. Every Christmas he gets a box as a gift and I have been lucky enough to smoke a few of them myself. So needless to say I enjoy an A sized cigar. About a month ago I saw Holt’s in Philadelphia [...]

I was originally going to save this cigar to smoke with Jery Cruz and the boys from stogiereview.com this weekend at the IPCPR but due to some family issues I had to bale at the last minute. A part of me is second guessing my decision to do so but I know I made the [...]

It always makes me smile when cigar makers recognize this blog, or even distributors. For me it is further validation that my site has become a valid go to web page for reviews and cigar information. Today’s cigar comes courtesy of The Cigar Agency who had the Cuban Classic Lancero by Don Pepin Garcia made [...]
Cigar Review: Rocky Patel Summer Collection 2009
Posted by acigarsmoker on July 3rd, 2009
It seems this year the Rocky Patel seasonal blends are coming out quicker then last year. It wasn’t to long ago that the spring collection was in my hands. The one problem with them coming out this fast is you move on to the next one without taking the time to appreciate the prior seasons [...]

I managed to get my hands on the CAO MX2 Box Press this weekend and being a fan of CAO Cigars this was on the top of my list of cigars I wanted to review. It amazes me how much a box press can change the flavor profile of a cigar. The Brazillia and the [...]

Today is the first day I can say I am 100% pain free in terms of my back. And with that good news I decided to smoke yet another cigar gifted to me by Tony over at leafandgrape.com. A few weeks ago at a fundraiser for the Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund he handed me a [...]

On one of my recent trips to Philadelphia we wrapped up the work day by heading over to Holt’s to grab a few smokes and head up to Mahogany to smoke them and sip on some fine single malt scotch. If you find yourself in Philadelphia these are stops any cigar smoker must make to [...]
