Last week I approached the in house resident aficionado of Barrister Cigars to be a guest reviewer here at acigarsmoker.com and he jumped at the chance. So welcome aboard to Andre/Toastie/Tiger Woo.

Cigar Review: La Aroma De Cuba Edicion Especial
Posted by Barry on September 13th, 2008
One reason why I personally almost never order from online is because I like walking into a brick & mortar and being recognized by the owner or workers. Yesterday was a perfect example of this when I walked into the Cigar Vault in Brooklyn, NY. The owner, Joe saw me walk in and before you [...]
