Mention the word Candela and most people cringe at the thought of smoking a cigar with a green wrapper. It’s long been associated with having a vegetal component, but in recent years that has begun to change. It’s made a bit of a comeback especially as St. Patrick’s Day comes closer. Companies like Illusione, La Flor Dominicana and RoMaCraft have made great candela’s. So much so, they now get a limited release throughout the year […]
RoMaCraft is based in Austin, Texas and Esteli, Nicaragua and are one of the hottest boutique manufacturers in the game.

Intemperance is defined as a lack of moderation or restraint. It’s secondary definition is excessive indulgence, especially in alcohol. For the Intemperance from RoMaCraft Tobac one can argue that cigars are our Intemperance and much like the prohibition movement with alcohol, it is time to stand up against those who want to take away the things we enjoy as adults. We should be free to make our own decisions in life. Cigar Review: Intemperance BA XXICountry […]

Approximately 6-8 weeks ago Skip Martin and Mike Rosales were in NYC for the weekend as they visited accounts in the Northeast. The day of The Cigar Authority broadcast they toyed with coming up to New Hampshire to do the show. However, with an event that evening at my old stomping grounds in NYC, the logistics just didn’t work out. It wasn’t for the lack of effort as they even looked into renting a helicopter […]
There are a few cigar brands out there that grab the attention of cigar enthusiasts, such as myself, and RoMa Craft Tobac is one of them. Skip Martin and Michael Rosales have been offering up some great blends over the last few years that have solidified themselves into the niche market we call the cigar industry.
