PerfecPunch: My Favorite Christmas Gift!

My wife knows how to please me. While I raved about the insanely classy portable humidor she got me which included five of my favorite cigars, my favorite gift from her was a PerfecPunch. I’ve been using it since Christmas Eve when I received it, and it is hands-down the best punch I’ve ever used.Continue reading “PerfecPunch: My Favorite Christmas Gift!”

Christmas Gift from My Wife: Martinez Cigars New York City Blend Corona (6 X 44)

6 X 44 for a Corona? I know, right? But that’s what they call their Corona, so whatever. But amazingly enough, there is a difference between this and the Queens. The flavor profile is similar, but in this longer and slightly fatter vitola, the smoke is less intense. And that’s to be expected since there’sContinue reading “Christmas Gift from My Wife: Martinez Cigars New York City Blend Corona (6 X 44)”

Rocky Patel Cargo: The ONLY Cuban Sandwich I Smoke

I’ve eschewed short-filler and Cuban sandwich cigars not because they’re bad, but simply because I can get hand-rolled long-filler cigars for just a bit more.

ButContinue reading “Rocky Patel Cargo: The ONLY Cuban Sandwich I Smoke”

As a result, my meat is taking a long time to finish. But all is not lost because I can wait it out by havingContinue reading “Smoking meat? Why yes I will have a cigar or two or three…”

Gotta Be Careful!

My wife just came home about 15 minutes ago and said that I had a package. I took one look at the box and I knew it was cigars. “Oh shit!” I thought to myself, “What the hell did I buy?” I opened the box to find a pack of Tatuaje Nicaragua 7th Broadleaf inContinue reading “Gotta Be Careful!”

Nubbin’ It!

That there nub is from an Oliva V Melanio I smoked last night. While I will take most of the cigars I like down to about an inch or inch and a half, very few earn the honor of being smoked down to the nub. I don’t smoke every V Melanio down to the nubContinue reading “Nubbin’ It!”
