Casa 1910 Cuchillo Parada

Purchased: Robusto (5 X 50) SingleShop: Phoenix Humidor, Grass Valley, CAPrice Paid: $20.00 for a singleBuy again? Most probably not. If I do give it another chance, it’ll probably be just a couple of singles. I’m just going to say this right from the start: This cigar needs weeks, perhaps months of humidor time beforeContinue reading “Casa 1910 Cuchillo Parada”

I’m Actually Getting a Little Traffic! Ha!

When I started this blog, I had no plans for it to become a review or how-to site like my other blogs. It was for me to have a conversation with myself on the cigars I smoke. Cigars are like wine to me. Though there certainly are some brands and kinds of wines I likeContinue reading “I’m Actually Getting a Little Traffic! Ha!”

Petite Corona? NOT a 15-20 Minute Smoke

When I had my first petite corona, which was a Tatuaje Havana VI Verocu, I thought to myself, Dang! It’s a little cigar that I can power through! Wrong. As I puffed it up, the draws became hot and exceedingly harsh. The cigar tasted like shit! I decided to slow down my puff rate andContinue reading “Petite Corona? NOT a 15-20 Minute Smoke”

Ahhh… Nothing Like That Morning Smoke!

I was sitting in my backyard this morning having a gorgeous Martinez Queens with my morning coffee and doing some work when the thought struck me that there’s nothing like a great smoke in the morning waiting for the sun to come up! I’m drinking fresh-ground South American coffee from Trader Joe’s that goes insanelyContinue reading “Ahhh… Nothing Like That Morning Smoke!”

Montecristo White No. 3 Especial

Purchased: 20-pack Corona (5.5 X 44)Store: Cigar PagePrice: $95.00 on a specialBuy again? Fuck yeah As some may know, I’m also a wine afficionado and have had a passion for fine wines – especially Pinot Noir and Burgundy – for years. Yesterday I wrote about the Arturo Fuente Candela being like Pinot Noir. The MonecristoContinue reading “Montecristo White No. 3 Especial”

Martinez NYC Blend “Queens” Corona

Every time I come to NYC, I always end up lugging home cigars and this trip has been no exception. But this time, I went directly to a producer. Who would’ve known there was an actual cigar manufacturer in NYC? But then, you can get anything in the city, so why not cigars direct fromContinue reading “Martinez NYC Blend “Queens” Corona”

It’s Amazing How Time Flies When You’re Having a Good Smoke

I’m staying at the Shasta Inn in Mount Shasta, CA. Got back from dinner at about 8:30 and wanted to have a stick before turning in for the evening. There is a nice, lit patio at the lodge so I meandered there. I had chosen a tried-and-true Roly from my travel humidor and sparked itContinue reading “It’s Amazing How Time Flies When You’re Having a Good Smoke”

Puros Indios Roly

Purchased: Habano Robusto (5 X 50) / Pack of 20Shop: Cigars InternationalPrice Paid: $34.99Buy again? Yes. Will keep them stocked up. I wrote in my CI review that Rolys were a bit of a cheap, guilty pleasure. But that all changed when I swapped sticks with my good friend Lee and we both gave eachContinue reading “Puros Indios Roly”

Rocky Patel Sun Grown

Purchased: Gordo (6 X 60) 5-packShop: Montecristo Shop, Caesar’s Palace LVPrice Paid: $24.99 on a 5 X 5-pack special 🙂Buy again? For sure, but not a priority For all the hate I read on CigarGeeks.com for RP, I’m sorry, but there just hasn’t been a Rocky Patel cigar that I haven’t loved. To me, they’reContinue reading “Rocky Patel Sun Grown”

Cohiba Red Dot

Purchased: 5-pack Churchill (7 X 49)Store: Cigars InternationalPrice: $16.66 on a special (normally $103.25)Buy again? On the fence…Experience Rating: 80 (and honestly, this might be generous) I’ll just say it: When you buy Cohiba, you pay for the name. The Red Dot is good. It’s a very pleasant smoke. But I’d take an Oliva SerieContinue reading “Cohiba Red Dot”
