I’ve been smoking a pretty long time, and I consider myself an aficionado for the last 3 years of my smoking life. However, it wasn’t until a trip to Philadelphia a couple of months back did I learn about the Cabinet Selection series. These Altadis cigars were pretty much in every cigar shop down there. [...]

13 Comments »Cigar Review: Oliva Connecticut Reserve
Posted by acigarsmoker on March 7th, 2009
The Oliva Connecticut Reserve caught me by surprise, only finding out about the release a few weeks ago. As a person who enjoys the Oliva line of cigars I felt a mild cigar was missing from their catalog. Whenever I was in the mood for a morning cigar I was never able to reach for [...]
Cigar Review: Don Pepin Garcia Series JJ Maduro
Posted by Barry on October 18th, 2008
I’ve had these cigars sitting in my humidors for a while and I kept putting off smoking them. Why I am not sure as it is a cigar that I was very much looking forward to smoking. Perhaps it is that not one local B&M carries them by me and I was worried I would [...]
Cigar Review: Carlos Torano Casa Torano
Posted by Barry on October 4th, 2008
Just a random thought to start with, right now I am craving apple cider. It is the fall, the leaves are changing colors and I am craving apple cider. Today’s smoke is from Carlos Torano, and lately I have become a fan of this cigar company. I’ll admit I am a bit of a boutique [...]
Cigar Review: H Upmann Reserve Maduro
Posted by Barry on September 25th, 2008
Every month I look forward to my package from Altadis as part of their VIP program to see what cigars they have sent me. This is a good thing as they send me cigars that I have forgotten about because I have become boutique cigar frenzied. H. Upmann cigars were founded in 1844 by a [...]
Cigar Review: Man O’ War
Posted by Barry on September 23rd, 2008
I held off a long time on ordering the Man O’ War cigar since it seems to be mail order only and let’s face it most cigars that are limited to some of the big mail order houses are pretty awful. But I caved in when cigar.com had a special of 3 cigars for $5.00. [...]
Cigar Review: 5 Vegas Miami
Posted by Barry on September 9th, 2008
With the New York Jets, my team in the NFL coming out of Miami with a win I decided to pull this stick out of my humidor as a victory cigar. As a fan of Gang Green, I have high hopes this season with the addition of Brett Favre. According to the 5 Vegas website [...]

Cigar Review: Tatuaje Cojonu 2003
Posted by Barry on August 28th, 2008
Can you believe that summer is over? Granted there are still 25 days or so at the time of this posting, but with Labor Day a few days away the end is here. All in all it hasn’t been a horrible summer, although with Hurricane Gustav threatening New Orleans it could get bad again in [...]
Cigar Review: Cuvee Blanc
Posted by Barry on August 20th, 2008
When it comes to doing reviews I am not your typical cigar reviewer. I smoke on average 2 cigars on a good day. So while I was not smoking for reviews I was smoking for the relaxation aspect after work. Last night while smoking I noticed my taste was back and for the most part [...]
Review: Cubao #6
Posted by Barry on August 15th, 2008
I noticed an early buzz about Cubao on the cigarlive.com website and I had to get my hands on them to see if the smoke matched the buzz. For those who do not know Cubao Cigars are made by EO Bands which is behind the 601 line of cigar. , These cigars come from Don [...]
Review: Viaje Oro Delicado
Posted by Barry on August 1st, 2008
Last week the owner of my local b&m pointed out to me a cigar in Smoke Magazine for today’s review. He was contemplating bringing them into the store for retail sale. The reviewers for the cigar gave it high marks, but it failed to be very descriptive in terms of flavor. When I informed the [...]

Greetings from beautiful Portsmouth, New Hampshire. I decided to get away for a few days and enjoy life. So I currently sit on a balcony overlooking the water and I decided to get one more review up since I will not have a chance to write for a few days while I do the tourist [...]
