Nat Sherman has been in the tobacco business for quite some time. Since 1930, to be exact. This brand is known for its cigars and other luxury tobacco products. Nat Sherman continues to operate a retail location in New York City, where the company originated and gained their fame 86 years ago. I’ve never tried anything from Nat Sherman, so I figured today would be the day I’d check out the Nat Sherman Timeless Nicaragua. […]
It’s strange how our palates change over time. When I started smoking cigars I was a huge fan of Connecticut wrapper that was grown in Connecticut. However, as the cigar companies began to use shade grown Connecticut seed that was grown in Ecuador I found that I lost the taste for the wrapper. There was something about the Ecuador grown wrappers that left my mouth dry. Now over the last year or so I have […]
How awesome would it be to have a cigar tailor made to your tastes? I’m sure David Garofalo would know, considering I’m about to smoke one with his name on it. Back in 2010, on David’s 50th birthday, Nick Perdomo of Perdomo Cigars surprised him with a stogie of his very own.

There are a few cigar brands out there that grab the attention of cigar enthusiasts, such as myself, and RoMa Craft Tobac is one of them.

La Flor Dominicana was founded in 1996 in Santiago, Dominican Republic and while Litto Gomez might be the co-founder of La Flor Dominicana and the face of LFD, his son Antonio Gomez has gotten more involved in the blending process as he spends most of his time in the Dominican Republic. The first project for Tony Gomez was the La Flor Dominicana Chapter One, which was followed by Capitulo Dos (Chapter Two in Spanish) and […]
A few weeks ago on Twitter one of our followers asked for my opinion on Warped Cigars. My response was that while I have heard of the brand which is popular in social media circles I hadn’t seen them up in New England where I live. This led to the brand owner reaching out and sending some samples which have been spectacular in my opinion. Today I decided to review the La Hacienda from those […]
Davidoff is about to release their first ever box pressed vitola to adorn the Davidoff name. This past February, details emerged about the new cigar. A press release stated that the cigar would be released in a toro and robusto size with a Habano Oscuro wrapper instead of the Habano Rosado that is on the original. Davidoff also stated that they slightly modified the blend to deliver a fuller and spicier flavor profile, specifically to […]

The reason being is that he is going under the knife. It’s not a major surgery and we expect a […]
