Last week the PR firm for Altadis USA reached out to us with the press release for the new Henry Clay Stalk Cut; ironically this was the same day at Altadis sales rep John Traiano stopped by for a visit. Literally hours before the press release arrived in my box, I was handed the new stalk cut by John. While in the past we might have gotten off on the wrong foot, John has turned […]
For me, one the strongest showings in 2015 was from Davidoff. When it comes to brand of the year, Davidoff left all its competitors in the dust. The rebranding of AVO and release of Avo Sycnro; the relaunch of Winston Churchill, Camacho ABA and the introduction of Escurio had the company firing on all cylinders and then some. It seems like 2016 has the company is continuing right where it left off. There is talk of the […]

In addition to the personal accolades he was a member of the 1963 NFL Champion Chicago Bears and won three Super Bowls, one as a player (Cowboys Super Bowl VI) and two as […]

The Camacho Corojo is one of the most storied tobacco leaves in the cigar world that is best explained by the Camacho website. “The story of the infamous Corojo seed spans generations, breaks boundaries, defies convention, and flies in the face of compromise — all in a quest to preserve the character of a legendary smoke that is the foundation of the Camacho brand. You see, the original Corojo seed is what made Cuban cigars […]
The back story of the Neya and Neya F8 brand is perhaps one of the most interesting and funny stories I have heard to date in the cigar industry. The story goes that one of the blenders at Duran Cigars wanted to name a cigar after his mother to honor her. The wish was granted, and the Neya was created. When it came time to create the artwork the blender was asked if he had […]
The other day one of our good friends on The Cigar Authority, not to mention a friend of mine walked into Two Guys Smoke Shop and told me he liked the Tatuaje Verocu a lot. Shawn then went on to ask me what Tatuaje cigars do I like, and without hesitation I said the Brown Label. It didn’t pay to mention limited editions that are no longer available like the Tatuaje TAA 2015. Shawn lit […]
As a cigar blogger, I look forward to the releases from Perdomo for a couple of reasons. The first and foremost is I enjoy the cigars that Nick Perdomo releases but secondly, it’s going to come out in three wrappers giving me three different reviews. At times figuring out what to review and what to smoke can be difficult. We have reviewed the Connecticut and the Sun Grown edition of the cigar that features a […]
