Seeing as we broadcast every week from Salem, NH you will get your chance to meet them all. Ed, Pat, Mike, Trevor, Jessica and Sean the Barista take a turn in the hot seat. Being we are The Cigar Authority we will light up a couple […]
Around noon today a customer called up the shop to order some cigars and instead of ordering a box of his usually, he ordered a box plus one. However, he told me not to ship the cigar that he wanted me to smoke it instead. I told him I couldn’t do that, but he said if I shipped him the extra cigar he would just ship it back to me. As much as I want […]
Much of the fanfare has been around the Guardian of the Farm Apollo, and we will have a review of that in the near future. But having smoked all the sizes my first box purchase was today’s review Guardian of the Farm Rambo. While it would be easy to post the differences here I promise to have the other review up shortly. Not everyone will agree with me, but the Rambo is more in my […]
Why are we smoking the AJ Fernandez Last Call Maduro today? Well, just a few days ago we had a bit of a warm spell with temperatures almost hitting 40 degrees. It was enough to get my hopes up high that spring was right around the corner. Then Punxsutawney Phil saw his shadow and we all have to suffer 6 more weeks of winter just because it was a sunny day in Pennsylvania. I don’t […]

Many cigar smokers are collectors and their humidors contain some special cigars that they refuse to smoke until the occasion warrants it. Today we discuss some of those cigars that line the humidors belonging to the hosts of The Cigar Authority. We also look at the cigars we wish we had at least one off. What cigars are our holy grails, something we want to smoke another of or something we want to try. Will […]
Tomorrow on The Cigar Authority we will be talking about cigars that we are holding on to, and cigars that we wish we had. What does that have to do with today’s review? Nothing other than the fact we will light up the LFD Special Edition Football cigar in the second hour. Back in 2014, The Cigar Authority conducted a blind taste test where we removed the original bands from the cigar and replaced them […]

This past weekend on The Cigar Authority podcast we lit up the Four Kicks Maduro in the second hour while discussing the Ten Commandments for customers of cigar shops. The show is always a bit controversial and it shouldn’t be. The first commandment is do not bring your own cigar to a cigar shop to smoke. It amazes me how many people think this is acceptable. Can you bring your own beer to a bar? […]
