The “Ultimate” Christmas Smokes
In anticipation of Christmas, I bought two of my all-time favorite cigars, a Padron 1964 Anniversary and a Tatuaje 7th Habano. The Padron ’64 is and always will be at the very top of my list. And though I have had several more expensive cigars, to me at least, that ’64 has a taste thatContinue reading “The “Ultimate” Christmas Smokes”
Age Matters
Pictured at the top is an Every Day Is Cigar Day Core Line Maduro, a regular in my rotation. But I must admit that it didn’t start out that way. In fact, I wasn’t at all impressed with the last couple of bundles I purchased. So, about a quarter of the way through the secondContinue reading “Age Matters”

Man O’ War Puro Authentico a Year Later
In my original post of this cigar, I mentioned that it needed some serious humidor time. It started out uninspiring, then got interesting in the second half, then finally hit its stride in the final third. After I wrote that post, I finished the 5er and got a 20-ct bundle. I let them sit forContinue reading “Man O’ War Puro Authentico a Year Later”
Update: 2017 Regius Sun Grown
Trying to decide what I wanted to smoke this morning, my gaze fell upon my last couple of Regius Sun Grown Toros and I knew then that I had to start my day with one. I needed to start with a treat. And a treat it was! Of course, the first thing that I noticedContinue reading “Update: 2017 Regius Sun Grown”
