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”

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”
My Father Flor de las Antillas
Purchased: Toro (6 X 52) SingleShop: Montecristo Shop, Caesar’s Palace LVPrice Paid: $24.95?Buy again? Not sure… This would be considered a super-premium cigar. Its smooth character never changes.
