This cigar was gifted to me by the Tom at CigarWarehouse.com in Plano, Tx. Thanks again Tom! This is yet another series of cigars put out by Don Pepin Garcia and Ashton. I am not quite sure how you are to beat Pepin's blends right now. He has to be the best blender in the industry to this point, and working with Ashton you know they are putting out the best … Continue reading the story "San Cristobal Supremo Review"

This weekend I attended an Ashton tasting that gave us an Ashton puro del sol Belicoso. That was a good stick, earthy, spicy and a wonderful smoke. They were also running a special on all Ashton cigars so i had to take advantage. I purchased a pack that contained these Ashton cigars - Heritage Puro Del Sol, Cabinet, Magnum, ESG, and VSG. I got a great deal on the … Continue reading the story "Ashton Magnum Review"

I'm a huge fan of anything touched by Don Pepin Garcia so it was no surprise that this cigar called to me. Looking at this cigar I was amazed at its flawless construction and beautiful sheen to the wrapper. I looked at the foot and saw an impecible rolling job that goes hand in hand with anything done by the Don.
Pre-cut tasting of the head brought a little spice to … Continue reading the story "Tatauje Havana VI Aristas Review"

I had this smoke in my hands with a lot of anticipation in mind considering it was a Rocky Patel blend. I have had the edge, olde world reserve, The first thing i noticed about this stick was the fresh tobacco smell and brownish almost vein free wrapper. The double band on the stick made for a beautiful display on the smoke.

This was another Cuban cigar that i have gotten my hands on here lately. The cigar is a full bodied medium flavored cigar. The construction was something to be desired and the draw was very loose. You could tell this was one of the cheaper cuban cigars on the market, but i figured i would give it a try anyway.
When i first lit the cigar it had a nice aroma which is custom to Cuban … Continue reading the story "Jose L. Piedra CAZADORES – Cuban"El Credito Super Habenero – Aged

A Dominican-Nicaraguan filler blend and oily, Maduro wrappers achieve a 'sweet,' medium-bodied smoke.
I know what you are thinking... Why is he smoking that? Well, i asked myself that when i bought these 6 months ago from famous smoke for the low price of $22.50 a bundle. Geez, you can barely get a cup of coffee these days for that price. Anyway, i smoked a couple of … Continue reading the story "El Credito Super Habenero – Aged"FONSECA DELICIAS – Cuban

I have found a website online that ships cuban cigars from Switzerland and boy was i excited when i opened my package yesterday. This little gem of a cigar is packed with flavor! These cigars are wrapped with tissue paper and the band is wrapped around the outside. The construction is second to none. The cigar is superb from start to finish. I had to nub this thing and i dont normally smoke cigars down that … Continue reading the story "FONSECA DELICIAS – Cuban"New Site Look
I know i havent been around for a few weeks but i have been crazy busy, plus for some reason my websites kept getting hacked. If any of you had been around for the past couple of weeks you may have noticed it. I had to completly change my ftp name and password and re upload all of my sites, talk about a pain in my butt. Anyway, i am back now and i have some new cigars i have smoked that i cant wait to review. Keep on a look out for my up coming reviews.

Box pressed at its finest is how i describe this cigar. These cigars are handmade with a blend of 7 yr-aged Dominican & Nicaraguan fillers with a vintage '90 Maduro wrapper. The smoke is full-bodied, creamy, smooth and full of flavor. When i first lit the cigar up it had a lot of deep smells. The first one i noticed was a slight chocolate smell followed … Continue reading the story "Rocky Patel Vintage 1990"
