First and foremost, this essential cigar accessory has a powerful quadruple jet flame. The Dominator can light even the largest stogies with speed and ease. At the bottom, there is a large adjustment wheel for changing the size of the flame. You […]

And now, some years later, Oliveros is back once again. Rafael brought the name back to offer aficionados with a cigar for any palate at a wallet friendly price. Today, I’ll be taking a look at the Oliveros Gran Retorno Banjo Habano. What […]
This weekend on The Cigar Authority we are going to discuss cigars and their place in celebration at sport events. Yesterday, that place was solidified when the New England Patriots mounted the greatest comeback in Super Bowl history, or perhaps it was the greatest collapse by the Atlanta Falcons. After the game, Robert Kraft was seen in the locker room handing out the cigar we are reviewing today. Congratulations to the New England Patriots on […]
I was going through my humidor this morning trying to find something for today’s review, a task that always takes me far longer than it needs to. I remembered that Steve Saka made a post on Facebook earlier this week saying that Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust would be one of the cigar company sponsors for the 32nd Two Guys Smoke Shop Anniversary Party, I dug out my box of Sobremesa Corona Grande that was sitting […]
As I’ve said before, I’m a huge fan of fine Nicaraguan tobacco. There’s just something about its richness that I love. Historically, Christian Eiroa crafted his cigars in Honduras using primarily Honduran leaf. But now, he has a Nicaraguan cigar with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper on it. Sounds nice, right? This is the CLE Prieto. What am I Smoking? Cigar: CLE Prieto Robusto Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua Length: 5 Inches […]
One of the most iconic blends to ever come from Davidoff was the original 702, a limited edition cigar that was met with accolades. This year, Davidoff has released a cigar under the guise of that brand name, that is significantly different then the original release. The most obvious is the wrapper. The original release features a 702 Connecticut wrapper, while this time around it features a 702 Habano wrapper. The other difference is the […]
As you may know, August 8th of 2016 was the day FDA regulation against cigars took effect. So on August 7th, 2016, Eric Newman of J.C. Newman Cigar Company made a stop at Two Guys Smoke Shop for the what was known as “The Last Supper”. During that event, Mr. Newman handed out a cigar that was made just for him. It was a rendition of the original Diamond Crown in a perfecto shape. I […]
This weekend on The Cigar Authority we will light up the last cigar of the January Care Package, Bandolero. Even though we will be smoke the Tremendos vitola on the show, both cigars are from pack III. Cigar history has followed a difficult path between crime and pleasure. Demonized on arrival to Europe, in which latter tobacco trade was monopolized. The success of the tobacco expansion is explained by the attempts of being controlled. […]
Back in 2009, Davidoff released a limited batch of cigars known as the “Davidoff Selección 702” that many considered the company’s best blend to date. It was unique because Davidoff used an exclusive wrapper from Ecuador that was a hybrid of three different seeds and used 80% Dominican ligero filler tobaccos for strength and taste. A combination that Master Blender Henke Keller worked extensively on. Since then, you’d be lucky to get your hands on […]
I am in one of the moods where I don’t know what to smoke when it comes to doing a review. I mean when I ran my old website back in the day I smoked through everything, so picking something that has been around for a while is tough because in my mind been there done that. So I asked one of my co-workers to pick out a cigar and this is the result. Not […]
