Initial Thoughts: To date, the Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff is my third cigar from Caldwell, and this is one of their most famous blends. And this cigar is HUGE! Coming in at a sixty ring gauge, this six-inch-long cigar is on the bigger side (if you don’t count those gimmicky cigars that look like baseball bats). […]

Initial Thoughts: I’m not just getting my new cigars from the Luxury Cigar Club or CIGRco, I also grab random sticks off the shelf at my local lounges. And that’s how I found the C.L.E. Prieto by Christian Eiroa. It turns out that the C.L.E. Prieto Robusto has a pretty solid reputation. While I don’t quite […]

One of the best reasons to join a cigar subscription club is to have the opportunity to try new things. Cigar clubs, subscription boxes, cigar of the month clubs, whatever you want to call them, are great ways to get new cigars you might not try otherwise. And today, I’m unboxing the September 2019 cigar […]

Initial Thoughts: One good thing about cigar subscription boxes is that I get to try new and exciting cigars. And today, I’m smoking the Hiram & Solomon Traveling Man Lancero I received in the June box from Luxury Cigar Club. This cigar is like a long, thick cigarette, but that’s pretty typical for cigars in the […]

Initial Thoughts: I don’t always smoke light, Connecticut cigars, but when I do, I always hope they’re delicious. And today, the Casa Cuevas Connecticut is on deck, and I hope it delivers. This cigar is very light in color – a serious deviation from what I normally smoke. And, Casa Cuevas is a brand I’m not […]

Initial Thoughts: Casa Fernandez has made some of my favorite smokes. The tobacco they put into the JFR Lunatic is simply delicious. However, they also make the Guardian of the Farm, which I didn’t love. But today I’m going into the Aganorsa Leaf Habano with high hopes! The wrapper is golden brown in color and, after […]

Initial Thoughts: Oh boy, am I excited to smoke the Fuente Fuente Opus X The Lost City! I got this cigar from the Luxury Cigar Club a few months ago, and I’ve been chomping at the bit to enjoy this cigar. So, on a beautiful Boston day, I decided it was time. The Opus X Lost […]

Initial Thoughts: I don’t put a lot of stock in the cigar reviews of companies that get too much of their revenue from the same companies whose products they’re reviewing. That said, when I saw the Alec Bradley Black Market Esteli Toro at my local lounge, I thought to myself, “Hey, why not!?” After taking off […]

Initial Thoughts: Intemperance, the lack of moderation or restraint. Overindulgence. Overconsumption. Excessive. To name a cigar the RoMa Craft Intemperance BA Breach of the Peace is to label your cigar something bold, unforgiving, and, perhaps, overpowering. Will this little stick live up to the name? I don’t know, but I’m excited to try it. The RoMa […]

Today we’re doing something a little different. Back in the early part of August, Bradley Reith from Zeal Cigars invited people to test their palate. Instead of a normal taste test, the challenge was to see if we could differentiate a premium cigar from his house cigars. Putting his house brands up against some of […]
