Last month we went through the entire line of Wayfarer by Serino Cigars. This month a fourth size has been released from the brand that was inspired as Carson Serino wandered around Iceland. The orogina in 3 sizes scored very well here at The Cigar Authority 109 (6 1/4 x 50) – 92 Rating Corona Gorda (6 x 46) – 92 Rating Robusto (5 x 52) – 94 Rating Cigar: The Wayfarer by Serino Cigar […]

While I have smoked and enjoyed the AJ Fernandez Enclave many a time before, I can’t remember smoking the Figarado vitola. This morning I decided to take a gamble with this particular size. I say gamble, because the Figurado can be the most rewarding size or the most frustrating. There is something about the way the cigar channels from the small perfecto tip to the full chamber that creates a nice flavor experience if the […]
If you listen to The Cigar Authority, and you should I am sure the jingle is already in your head. Just opening the box of these cigars cues up the Jose Dominguez commercial in my head. It also makes me want a donut, but that’s a story for another time. For those that don’t know Jose Dominguez was a former veterinarian who decided it was time to do something new. So he turned to cigars […]
Since 2008, Pete Johnson has reinvented Halloween for cigar smokers. It all started with The Frank, which to date remains my favorite Monster Series release. From there it went to The Drac (2009), The Face (2010), The Wolfman (2011), The Mummy (2012), JV13 (2013), The Jekyll (2014), The Hyde (2015) and The Krueger (2016). There were two little monsters called Chuck and Tiff, but they have not received a Halloween release. It is expected that […]
This morning I was talking to someone in the store about Connecticut cigars. He was going around the store with me and asking about specific cigars about Connecticut wrappers. Of course we got into the conversation about shade wrappers and broadleaf wrappers, and I think I totally confused him when I mentioned Connecticut is sometimes grown in Ecuador. His mind was blown and he wanted to try different cigars with different degrees of Connecticut. Which […]
It’s been often said that Sir Winston Churchill would spend time in the Late Hours behind closed doors working in solitude or with trusted colleagues. During these Late Hour moments he was never without a cigar and often he was with an exceptional scotch as well. Davidoff brings together that moment with the Winston Churchill Late Hour. The Late Hour cigar is meant to be enjoyed when the end of the evening is the start of […]
As we celebrate Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day we looked for a cigar that has ties to the holiday, and that cigar is Atabey. On October 28th, 1492 Columbus discovered the island nation that at one time was the benchmark for cigars. How does the cigar tie into Cuba? The Tainos Indians would sit in a circle called the Cohiba where they would offer their prayers to the leader of the tribe, the Behike. The […]
The La Aurora Time Capsule series is an interesting series of releases from La Aurora. Tomorrow we will feature the Corojo on the show and as requested by a few of our listeners here is a review to go along with the cigar we are smoking. The Time Capsule is available in three wrappers each one with a year attached to it representing the first time La Aurora used it. The 1903 Cameroon, 1987 Connecticut […]
The Byron Siglo Series 19 Century Grand Poemas comes to us from Nelson Alfonso’s Selected Tobacco who also makes Atabey and Bandelero. The Byron 19th Century is a line extension of sorts as the cigar now comes in stunning 25 count limited edition humidors. The cigars inside have been aging since 2012 and only 200 humidors were produced this year. We ran the press release prior to the 2017 IPCPR trade show, and these are […]
Tomorrow on The Cigar Authority we will be smoking Last Call and some of you have asked me to put up a review of the cigar we are going to smoke. This won’t be the size, but I opted for this one since my time was a little short. It’s going to be a crazy busy day for me tomorrow as it’s the grand opening of Studio 21 Podcast Cafe. Which is more then a […]
