It’s day 2 of our look at cigars that are wallet friendly for when the budget is tight. Today we look at Dos Hombre which is one of the top selling brands at 2GuysCigars.com. It’s a bundle cigar which many premium cigar smokers tend to overlook. But when you are talking about bang for your buck, I challenge anyone to find a cigar as good as Dos Hombre at the price.

Back in 2004 Rocky Patel released a cigar called, The Edge. Back then the cigar was packaged naked in 100 count boxes. There was no cello, and no cigar band. Having owned my own shop back then I remember, I was unable to keep this cigar in stock. We quickly grew to biggest retailer in the region for this cigar going through multiple boxes in the course of a week. So much so that Rocky […]
Aladino Cigars come to us from JRE Tobacco which is a family centered company, founded by Julio R. Eiroa and his son Justo M. Eiroa whom happen to be the father and brother of Christian Eiroa. The cigars come from their crop to shop operation in Honduras, and for those old enough to remember the original Camacho brand, it is not difficult to see the similarity.

Back in the day, I would get excited every time there was a new cigar that came to market. Over the years I have slowed down and no longer go crazy tracking down every cigar release known to man. But, once in a while I catch wind of cigar coming out that I know I must have. One of the few cigar this year that achieved that status for me is the Eiroa 20 Years Colorado. Today, the […]
The newest size from Eiroa The First 20 Years comes in a signed box dated by Christian Eiroa and are part of the first run of these cigars. Wether or not this is for the nationwide release or a Two Guys Exclusive was not available at the time of review. The cigar measures 4 x 40, and is a nice collectors item on a cigar that we really enjoy here at The Cigar Authority. Cigar Review: Eiroa […]
As I’ve said before, I’m a huge fan of fine Nicaraguan tobacco. There’s just something about its richness that I love. Historically, Christian Eiroa crafted his cigars in Honduras using primarily Honduran leaf. But now, he has a Nicaraguan cigar with a Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro wrapper on it. Sounds nice, right? This is the CLE Prieto. What am I Smoking? Cigar: CLE Prieto Robusto Wrapper: Connecticut Broadleaf Maduro Binder: Nicaragua Filler: Nicaragua Length: 5 Inches […]
According to the Camacho cigars website, “Every journey begins somewhere. And where that is, can mean the difference between a life merely lived… and a life lived loud. Loaded with rich flavors from Generoso and Aléman Ligero tobaccos, bound by the legendary strength of [their] Original Corojo, and wrapped in a high-grade Connecticut leaf grown in Ecuador, this is one cigar with an intense flavor that backs down to no one. A wake up call […]
The Fleur de la Reine is a solid workhorse of a cigar for me. It’s one that I keep in rotation with my other go-to’s. This is a brand that has been around for quite some time and has a great rapport with the people who smoke them. With a thick and sturdy wrapper surrounding a complex blend of fillers from several different countries, it offers a nice bang for the buck. Today I’ll be checking […]
Things are getting a little spooky at The Cigar Authority… It’s almost Halloween and in the first hour we will light up a MONSTER of a cigar, the Asylum Corojo 6 x 80, to celebrate the occasion. During the second hour, we wish Barry farewell as he departs for his honeymoon and we will be continuing to smoke the Asylum 6 x 80. We talk about upcoming shows and a BIG announcement is soon to […]
Dr. Gaby Kafie has an interesting story that has caught our attention at The Cigar Authority. He built a practice around visiting Nursing Homes, Assisted Living facilities, and doing House Calls, apart from his clinic. He spent a lot of time working visiting homeless shelters, A.I.D.S. clinics, and treating the indigent. He eventually had to leave the Medical profession as he developed an ocular disease called Central Serous Chorioretinopathy. This is a disease that affects the eyes […]
