As has become customary at 2pm on Saturday we post a more in depth review of a cigar that was smoked on The Cigar Authority. This week we feature a cigar that was part of The Cigar Authority Care Package; Puro Regadio. It’s a cigar from a factory that is well known and to hear more about that, tune into the podcast where we light up the cigar about an hour into the show. Cigar […]
My Friday’s are spent with one of the softest spoken, nicest gentlemen around who serves as the producer for The Cigar Authority podcast. Upon walking in to the office, Ed Sullivan announced that today we are smoking the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series Presidente Maduro. Not being one to argue, I graciously accepted his offer and the decision on what to smoke today was made. Cigar Review: Padron 1964 Anniversary Square Tube Wrapper: Nicaragua Binder: Nicaragua […]
At the 2017 trade show the Plasencia family decided to step into the limelight after making cigars for many superstars in the industry. Having 5 generations of experience dating back to 1865 in Cuba the company today makes 35 million cigars at their crop to shop operations in Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. The name Alma Fuerte translates to Strong Soul and I first tasted the cigar in Miami at The Tank Brewing with national […]
When I first laid eyes on the JFR Lunatic all I was able to think about was the song Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. Lunatic Fringe – we all know you’re out there. Can you feel the resistance? Can you feel the thunder? As for the brand it ranges from a 52 ring gauge all the way up to 80 ring gauge and as much as I was tempted to smoke the 8 x 80 bellicoso for today’s review […]
Around noon today a customer called up the shop to order some cigars and instead of ordering a box of his usually, he ordered a box plus one. However, he told me not to ship the cigar that he wanted me to smoke it instead. I told him I couldn’t do that, but he said if I shipped him the extra cigar he would just ship it back to me. As much as I want […]
Much of the fanfare has been around the Guardian of the Farm Apollo, and we will have a review of that in the near future. But having smoked all the sizes my first box purchase was today’s review Guardian of the Farm Rambo. While it would be easy to post the differences here I promise to have the other review up shortly. Not everyone will agree with me, but the Rambo is more in my […]
Why are we smoking the AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro today? Well, just a few days ago we had a bit of a warm spell with temperatures almost hitting 40 degrees. It was enough to get my hopes up high that spring was right around the corner. Then Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and we all have to suffer 6 more weeks of winter just because it was a sunny day in Pennsylvania. I don’t […]
Earlier on today’s edition of The Cigar Authority we smoked the Aladino Robusto. Here is the review to go along with that cigar that was part of the The Cigar Authority Care Package.

Tomorrow on The Cigar Authority we will be talking about cigars that we are holding on to, and cigars that we wish we had. What does that have to do with today’s review? Nothing other than the fact we will light up the LFD Special Edition Football cigar in the second hour. Back in 2014, The Cigar Authority conducted a blind taste test where we removed the original bands from the cigar and replaced them […]
Originally released in 2010, the Liga Privada T52 Flying pig was the follow-up to the No. 9 Flying Pig. It’s part of the unico series from Drew Estate that includes the Dirty Rat, Ratzilla, L40, and Feral Flying Pig some of which are in stock at 2GuysCigars.com at the time of this review but given their limited release status they come and go on a regular basis.
