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 […]

This weekend on The Cigar Authority we celebrated Dos Hombre Day marking 30 years of the brand. As a bit of a cigar geek, I’ve always looked at bundle cigars with a bit of disdain. However, when you smoke as many cigars are I do, upwards of 6 cigars a day you need to find an affordable smoke or you will wind up in the poor house. We featured the Dos Hombre Dominican Toro in the […]
