UPS No Longer To Handle Tobacco Weighing Less Than 4 pounds per 1,000

In recent days United Parcel Service has visited shippers of tobacco products with an agreement form prohibiting the shipment of tobacco products that weigh less than 4lbs per 1,000. These products are known in the industry as “Little Cigars.” According the the UPS website, the new measures being enforced are due to the FDA’s Final Rule which can be found at https://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/FR-2016-05-10/pdf/2016-10685.pdf. “Little Cigar” means any roll for smoking made of tobacco, wrapped in either paper or […]

Padron Serie 1926 80 Years Maduro Cigar Review

I was putting together some show notes for The Cigar Authority Podcast this weekend when I scribbled down the Padron 1926 80 Years Maduro. I got to thinking it’s been a long time since I smoked one of these cigars so I opted to fire one up. The perfecto Padron cigar is made with some of the oldest tobacco the company owns and it is made by only one buncher and one roller who are […]

AVO Improvisation 30 Years Limited Edition Cigar Review

It is rather sad that Avo Uvezian didn’t live to see the 30th Anniversary of AVO Cigars. But when you lived a life as special as his that sadness quickly changes to admiration.

It is the first of the three limited edition releases to celebrate the anniversary of the brand. In June […]

Davidoff Late Hour Toro Cigar Review

With the new Avo 30th Limited Edition review due this week I was hesitant to review today’s cigar because I don’t like to pile up multiple reviews from the same manufacturer. However, I was walking through the store when I was asked by someone, “Hey B, I noticed you reviewed the Robusto and the Churchill, but what is your favorite Late Hour size.” The answer is the Toro, and the customer asked for me to […]

Drew Estate Java Mint Corona Cigar Review

It’s the day before St. Patrick’s Day and the cliche thing to review is a Candela cigar. This year I wanted to be different, so I was think what has a green band? Then I thought about Java Mint. Mint is associated with green and my favorite cookie is the Girl Scout Thin Mint so I said to myself, “Self, this is a cigar to review today.” It was introduced at the 2017 trade show […]

Umbagog Corona Gorda Cigar Review

Umbagog comes to us from Steve Saka’s Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. The cigar gets its name from one of the most pristine wilderness lakes in all of the United States. It is on this lake that Steve Saka takes part in something he loves almost as much as cigars, fishing. As a result, he wanted to create a durable cigar for time spent on the lake where the beauty is nature, not the cigar itself. […]

Atabey Duendes Cigar Review

On Monday we reviewed the Atabey Spiritus which we gave a perfect one-hundred rating. It was such an amazing cigar that we had to light up one of the other new sizes today, Atabey Duendes. What better way to come back to work after a 27″ snow storm then to light up a cigar from Nelson Alfonso’s Selected Tobacco. The Duendes was chosen for review when a few people asked me for my thoughts, so […]

Atabey Spiritus Lancero Cigar Review

If you ask our own David Garofalo what his favorite cigar is, without hesitation he will say Atabey. If you ask him what his least favorite size is, he will answer just as fast, Lancero. Talk about the conundrum this cigar created. Now on the other hand if you ask me those same questions this would be the dream cigar in theory. However, does that theory hold up? Today we put the theory to the […]
