Breakfast at Drapers for this year’s Little Puff

Little-Puff-2011-Save-The-Date

It looks like there’s some buzz about this year’s “Little Puff” in Washington DC. The little puff is only little name and it’s actually kind of a big deal:

The “Little Puff” is Draper’s signature fundraiser, an intimate gathering of cigar lovers (limited to 300 people). Proceeds from ticket sales and the auction benefit three local academic scholarships (The Erik Kristensen Memorial Scholarship in honor of a Navy SEAL killed in action; The Pat Krimm Scholarship & The Anne Berman Memorial Scholarship).

News: Fuente Aged Selection, God of Fire & Prometheus Collection

Cigar reviews will resume on Monday as I had a bout of the summer flu, thankfully it twas the week before IPCPR and there were more press releases then one would know what do with. This morning I woke up to 3 separate press releases from different divisions within Prometheus. The items from Prometheus have proven to be true collectors items with some rare Opus releases, and one of a kind blends. This year seems to be no different and I’ve highlighted some of the top releases…

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature Maduro

Recently I was at Tobacco Plaza of Great Neck to hang out with some friends, smoke some cigars, laugh, and enjoy some good food at the monthly events they run. This time around they had some specials on various cigars throughout their shop. But the one thing that caught my eye was the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Signature Maduro. When I saw them I picked up a handful of them and I smoked one right away and put one more aside for the review today. The rest are in my humidor aging where they will remain for special occasions. The reason I went right for these was because of the effect the Work Of Art Maduro cigars had on me back in the day, and how much they remind me of my Dad. The maduro line is ultra rare and does not appear often so who knows when I might see these again.

Cigar Review: Fuente Don Carlos Lancero

Every now and then I wind up in the city of Brotherly Love and when I do I manage to find my way to Holt’s on Walnut. A few weeks ago I was scheduled to make a trip to the store for a Fuente event but life got in the way and I had to postpone my trip. I finally made it down there the other day and if you smoke cigars Holts is the place for you. Every time I walk into the shop I feel like Norm from Cheers being greeted by friendly hellos. People like Anthony, Lee and Robyn make this the place to go for cigars. There lounge might be a little small but with Mahogany the renowned Philly Cigar Bar right upstairs does it really matter?

When I was there this week they had some of the great Fuente rarities in stock. Opus X Maduro, Opus X Scorpio and more. That is how I got my hands on these cigars for review today, the Don Carlos Lancero.

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Maduro

Tomas is back with another review, this time it is the Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Maduro. I’ve been enjoying delicious cigars since 1988. I was only 20 years old then, in the US Army and stationed in Frankfurt, Germany. At that time I was only familiar with the machine made cigars. My Grandfather, Guadalupe Cantu [...]

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente 858 Sungrown

I will be the first to admit that the “rare” cigars that Fuente releases around Christmas and Father’s Day are some of the most over hyped cigars around. Yet every year when I walk into my friends cigar shop and he tells me, hey I got this or that in I am all over it. [...]

Happy Easter everyone, and Happy Passover. In New York cigar smokers have been crucified by big government. Just 12 days into the month and we have been hit with a 42 cent S-CHIP federal cigar tax as well as an increase in the state cigar tax from 37% to 46%. A Cigar that cost 10.00 [...]

Cigar Review: Diamond Crown Maximus #5

I had intended to do a Diamond Crown Maximus cigar smoking experience but for some odd reason the picture on the left was the only one in focus. Turns out the lens on the camera was a little dirty from ash from a prior cigar I smoked. I smoked today’s cigar at my favorite B&M [...]

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Between The Lines

The Arturo Fuente Between The Lines is a rare smoke. Not many stores get them and they usually fly off the shelf. I came across two of these cigars via a trade with a great brother of the leaf on twitter by the name of Matt. The cigar is also an example of cigar websites [...]

Cigar Review: God Of Fire ’05

Well it is that time of year where you reach into your humidor and pull out a special smoke. I had this beauty given to me by a sponsor of this website, Cigars Direct. I smoked it while attending a holiday party at my local B&M Barrister Cigars. The God of Fire cigars were first [...]

Cigar Review: Arturo Fuente Don Carlos

With my buddy Joe heading overseas for work we decided to meet up yesterday for a quick smoke of a cigar. It was a last minute thing, and since I am no longer carrying cigars with me other then my morning smoke due to the lack of natural humidity outside I had to stop at [...]
