I’ve always been a cigar geek, and it annoys Mr. Jonathan to no end. If it’s a new stick I want to smoke it, usually just once, 2-3 times if I will review it. That makes me the worst cigar customer in the world. There is no brand loyalty from me, and that makes me a bad customer. Why you may is? The answer is simple, when I jump from brand to brand, I am part […]
A new size of the Davidoff Nicaragua was introduced at the trade show in Las Vegas this year. The diadema is a salomon shaped cigar that the Davidoff website describes as, “This elegant shape is the continuation of the Nicaragua journey. The beautiful Davidoff Nicaragua Diadema provides from the beginning a complex and balanced smoking experience, offering sweet and salty stimulation with some leather notes and a long aftertaste. The new format is aligned with […]
Four years ago, Quesada launched the first Oktoberfest cigar which has become an annual release. This year, the brand gets a make over with a new band and a special Salomon Press for events which are now underway around the country. The cigars are meant to be paired with Märzen style beer which believe it or not does change the perception of the nuances the cigar has to offer. However, you can smoke them without […]
This past week we asked the listeners of The Cigar Authority what cigar they wanted to see reviewed on the website, and my fried Jose requested the Brick House Maduro.

It’s been a busy year for Camacho that saw the company continue its successful rebranding of the brand. The company introduced the BG Meyer Standard Issue and followed up last years limited edition Blackout with the Double Shock. Released in boxes of 20, the cigars are packed as a duo. Two separate cigars tied together by a band with an offsetting barber pole look. The blends are the same however, or so we believe. The cigars are available […]
Last week when The Cigar Authority headed south, one of the cigars we lit up was Studio 21. I remember looking at it and having no idea what it was, but I smoked it and both Chuck Morrison and I were in agreement, that it was a damn good cigar. Studio 21 is best described as a mild, smooth creaky smoke that shares many similarities with mild cigars with one exception, the price. Today’s cigar […]
The inspiration for Barabbas comes from the story of a man who faced death several times throughout his tumultuous life. Most people know this cigar’s namesake from his affiliation with Jesus of Nazareth. It was Barabbas, known for a life of crime, who was freed by Pontius Pilate, which ultimately led to the crucifixion of Jesus. What is not widely known, however, is the personal transformation he experienced as a result. Witnessing the impact of […]
