The Cigar Authority comes to you live from the Toscano Cigar Sound Stage and this week we ask the question, is this the end of flavored cigars in the United States. Cigars are under fire (pun intended) and flavored cigars even more so. Law makers are trying to kill it and the fight has divided the cigar industry. How did this happen and what is the future? Is it good or is it bad? Tune […]
Late in 2019 Pete Johnson released the Tatuaje Mexican Experiment II as a follow-up to his critically acclaimed release in 2012. Like the original release the cigar features the same core components of Mexican and Nicaraguan tobaccos and it is available in four sizes as part of an ongoing release whereas the original was a limited production with sizes limited to a specific region. Today we fire up the Belicoso which is our personal favorite […]
Micky Pegg is back. We talk the past and we look into the future. He has some great stories and an even better new project. We smoke All Saints Cigars on The After Show. The Cigar Authority is a member of the United Podcast Network and is recorded live in front of a studio audience at Studio 21 Podcast Cafe upstairs at Two Guys Smoke Shop in Salem, NH and as always you can find […]
When it comes to RoMaCraft Cigars you need to be patient especially if you are in a high-volume cigar shop such as Two Guys Smoke Shop. The CroMagnon has been unavailable since the fall of 2019 and before that Neanderthal had its fair share of back orders before shipping on a regular basis again, though some will argue the cigar isn’t the same while others like me will argue it’s even better then ever. Well, […]
This week on The Cigar Authority we took a look at the top 10 strongest cigars. We started the show with the Camacho Corojo which was part of the The Cigar Authority Care Package. The cigar came in at number 10 on our list. According to 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 […]

Less then 24 hours after passing a resolution the House of Representatives voted on HR 2339. The vote came less than 12 hours after the Office of Management and Budget issued a statement against the support of the bill. The bill which disguises itself as a preventive measure for youth vaping would cripple the cigar industry if it passes. Contained in the bill is language that would ban non face-to-face tobacco sales and it defines […]

This is a bill that would make changes to the cigar industry that will cost jobs, ban online cigar sales, put people out of business and remove free choice from the people. HR 866 […]
When is a barber pole, not a barber pole? The answer in my book is when it’s the Neanderthal Genetic Deformity. The cigar features the wrapper of the Cromagnon Aquitaine (Habano) and Cromagnon (Broadleaf) but unless you look closely you might miss it. Technically speaking, it is a barber pole but it doesn’t have the definitive contrast in wrappers we all associate with the type of cigar. Cigar Review: Neanderthal Genetic Deformity Wrapper: Habano / Broadleaf (Barber […]
