Bundle cigars. What comes to mind when you hear those words? Maybe “gross” or “nasty”… I’ll admit I’ve thought for a long time that cigars under the $4.00 price point weren’t even worth my time, because how can something that cheap be good? Now that I work for Two Guys Smoke Shop, I had to find out for myself on how the Dos Hombre line of bundle cigars could be the #1 best seller in […]
Back in September of 2014, Crowned Heads released a series of Limited Edition cigars called Mason Dixon. The south would get one wrapper, and the north would get another wrapper. As luck would have it where I work was able to make a deal with another retailer and they got both editions. Now almost 20 months after the release we wanted to see how the Mason Dixon aged which we originally said, “While the Mason […]
A little over a year ago Davidoff introduced a cigar that was crafted “ for those who are in the mood to discover vibrant and intriguing experiences to fill their time beautifully. If time is one of life’s greatest luxuries, this cigar will fill it with excitement.” Since that release we reviewed the Gran Toro and gave it a 93 and we reviewed the Robusto Tubo and gave it a 94. With news coming out this week […]
Alejandro Turrent is one of the biggest names in tobacco. While you may not know his name, he is the godfather of modern Mexican tobacco. In 1880 his great-great-grandfather Alejando Alberto emigrated to the San Andres Valley with a pocket full of Cuban tobacco seeds and began a business that has become one of the most powerful players in tobacco. Today Alejando is President and co-owner with his father Alberto Turrent IV of Nueva Matacapan de […]
The Arturo Fuente Magnum R44 isn’t a cigar you’ll find online for sale as Fuente has a strict policy about this stick only being available inside a brick & mortar. This is something I applaud as I have always preached to support your brick & mortar. According to the official website for Fuente Cigars the wrappers used on this line are grown in Ecuador and aged for nearly a decade. How does that translate to […]
For me Memorial Day is one of those strange holiday weekends. Over the years it has become the official start of the summer with friends and family getting together for a BBQ, or heading to the beach. For me, I am heading camping if you can call it that. We rented a cabin at some a campground in Maine but is it really camping when your not sleeping under a tent. Anyway, as I was […]
One of the surprises this year for me is a brand from United Cigar called Fleur de la Reine. It is a cigar that I never heard of until I moved to New Hampshire, and United Cigar is a brand that you should begin to hear a lot about in 2015. According to their website, “Bold and rich with spicy, full flavor, Fleur de la Reine is made up of a blend of Honduran and […]
We all have our skeletons in the closet, and for me it is the first few cigars I smoked when I took up this hobby of mine that would eventually lead to a career that the FDA is trying to take away from me. The skeletons for me are the first two cigars I smoked on a regular basis, Macanudo Robust and Por Larranaga. Eventually I would make it over to the Padron 2000 Natural […]
Last week, La Flor Dominicana launched their new TAA cigar at Two Guys Smoke Shop in Seabrook, NH. Those in attendance included legendary brand owner Litto Gomez, Vice President of Sales Jonathan M. Carney, and North Eastern Sales Representative John Gallogly II. The LFD 48th TAA commemorates the Tobacconists Association of America and the band of retailers that are a part of it. This release marks the sixth time they have released a cigar for […]
