Dom Hombre Dominican Natural Toro Cigar Review

This weekend on The Cigar Authority we celebrated Dos Hombre Day marking 30 years of the brand. As a bit of a cigar geek, I’ve always looked at bundle cigars with a bit of disdain. However, when you smoke as many cigars are I do, upwards of 6 cigars a day you need to find an affordable smoke or you will wind up in the poor house. We featured the Dos Hombre Dominican Toro in the […]

When I first laid eyes on the JFR Lunatic all I was able to think about was the song Lunatic Fringe by Red Rider. Lunatic Fringe – we all know you’re out there. Can you feel the resistance? Can you feel the thunder? As for the brand it ranges from a 52 ring gauge all the way up to 80 ring gauge and as much as I was tempted to smoke the 8 x 80 bellicoso for today’s review […]

Moolah by Perdomo Toro Cigar Review

Originally on The Cigar Authority podcast for Saturday Jan 13, 2018 we were going to light up the Moolah which is made by Perdomo Cigars for Two Guys Smoke Shop and 2GuysCigars.com. However, tomorrow’s show will be a blind taste test, and maybe one of the cigars we smoke will be the Moolah without the band, or then again maybe it’ll be push back til the 20th. Regardless, I decided to review the Moolah Toro […]
