Today we fire up the Belicoso which is our personal favorite […]

Today I look at a new addition to the shelves of 2GuysCigars.com. Since it’s release I’ve looked forward to running into the rep for Altadis USA. Ever since he handed me one, I was hooked. In my travels around the USA, I would grab one if I saw them on the shelf. Now, they are at my fingertips on a regular basis. The Belicoso is the only size that is box pressed in the portfolio […]

It is the small leaf, rarely seen at the top of the tobacco plant that is known for its richness and strength as it receives more sunlight than any other part of the plant. The 2019 edition of the cigar landed at retailers in mid-April and having loved the 2018 edition so much […]
Between the unveiling of the La Flor Dominicana TAA 50th Golden “Oro” Anniversary at TAA something changed. The inside of the box has a more professional feel to it, but the outside of the box looks like it was designed by a child. Back in April we asked Carney about the box and we were told the story behind the box art has Litto Gomez the owner of La Flor Dominicana reaching out to his son, […]
Some people would call me a cigar snob and some people would call me names I rather not type here. Hell, I’m sure our own Mr. Jonathan is mumbling a few of them under his breath. Anyway, the point is every now and there is a cigar that comes out that I believe is here for the long haul. But for whatever reason it takes a while to catch on or it doesn’t get the […]

Both are a belicoso and both are part of the Don Carlos line. One is box pressed and one is not. So today we smoke the Don […]
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 […]
