Gurkha, Gurkha, I know... Most people think of Gurkha in much of the same way they think of Graycliff: A way overpriced $4-$5 cigar. I agree on certain cigars but this one is different. I love the perfecto shape and the way it feels in your hand. These cigars are sold for varying prices online from a couple of different vendors. I took some pictures … Continue reading the story "Gurkha Royal Brigade Cigar Review"

This weekend was perfect to enjoy such a great smoke. It was 75 degrees sitting out at the lake on the boat house kicking back with an adult beverage. It didn't get much better than that, until I pulled out a Padron Anniversary. This cigar is what most aficionados deem the best of the best.
The cigar itself has a nice oily sheen and flawless wrapper. There are no visible … Continue reading the story "Padron Anniversary 1964 Exclusivo Maduro Cigar Review"

Oliveros cigars from Havana Cuba Cigar Company is an interesting line with many different blends. The XL blend started out with either a double corojo or double maduro, both are good smokes. Then they decided to blend the XL Bold. CI and Cbid carry these exclusively.
The wrapper on this cigar is full of veins as you can tell from the pictures. The pre-light smell is of hay … Continue reading the story "Oliveros XL Bold Torpedo Cigar Review"

The Dos Capas (2 wrappers) cigar is one that is intriguing to say the least. Barber pole cigars are becoming more and more popular by the day and blenders like Felipe are taking advantage. This cigar is a nice looking Churchill with a couple of decent sized veins in the wrapper. Hopefully this won't distract the burn. The smells of grass and hay … Continue reading the story "Felipe Gregorio Dos Capas Cigar Review"

While at the IPCPR last month I got to try many different cigars. Some good, some really bad... but a lot of different stuff. While I was helping out George at the Gran Habano booth I was able to get a sample of the new Cabinet selection that he came out with for the show.
This cigar is a nice heavy, chunky dark wrapper with two bands smoke. Very nice looking cigar with a few … Continue reading the story "Gran Habano Cabinet Selection Cigar Review"

Being in Vegas is nothing without sharing it with your friends. I met up with Eric, Tommy Boy, Ray, and Pablo from Socialcigar while I was out there. What a rowdy bunch we were, espcially Tommy Boy... =-)
The first day of the show is always the busiest, and boy was I in for a treat working the Camacho booth that day. When I first arrived on the floor it was absolutely packed, there was an unbelievable amount of retailers trying to get their orders in and take advantage of the first day specials. I was briefed … Continue reading the story "IPCPR The Show Part 2"
