Cigar Review: ACID Kuba Arte
Initial Thoughts: One of the first things I noticed about the ACID Kuba Arte was the smell.

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!

Cigar Review: Davidoff Winston Churchill The Late Hour Toro
Initial Thoughts: Winston Churchill is one of the most iconic names in the cigar world, and he didn’t even make cigars. His name and profile are practically synonymous with cigars, and today I’m enjoying a cigar that bears his name. The Davidoff Winston Churchill Late Hour Toro is a beautiful cigar with just a couple of […]

Cigar Review: Nova Cigars Platinum Perfecto
Initial Thoughts: When I pulled the Nova Cigars Platinum Perfecto out of the June box from Luxury Cigar Club, I said to myself, “Ellory, you’ve got to smoke this cigar immediately!” So, spoiler alert, I did.
