In July, I reviewed the Garofalo Toro but as it is the eve of Thanksgiving I wanted to review a cigar that I could tie into the holiday. I am not a fan of Thanksgiving having lost my father on the holiday many years ago. Less than a year ago my mom passed away and I left the city that I love, Miami. Not a day goes past that I don’t miss some special people […]
There have been quite a few limited edition cigars from Crowned Heads this year which started with the Las Calaveras and concluded with Mason Dixon.

The cigars are made at Tabacalera Fernandez which is owned by AJ Fernandez who makes Diesel, New World, Pinolero and San Lotano. […]
Yesterday, we reviewed the Rocky Patel Prohibition Mexican. You would think that the cigar today would be called Rocky Patel Prohibition Broadleaf, but instead the UPC seal on the cello refers to the cigar as the Rocky Patel Prohibtion Maduro. While these cigars are still 30 days out due to the delay in the Mason Jars they will be packaged in, Two Guys Smoke Shop has the launch event this Friday in Salem, NH and […]
