Cigar Review: Serino Wayfarer Corona Gorda
Initial Thoughts: People often get into a groove. They find what they like, they stick to it, and they rarely deviate from that point of view.

Cigar Review: Warped Futuro Toro
Initial Thoughts: The first thing I noticed about the Warped Futuro Toro is its narrow but flat head. Instead of a normal torpedo or belicoso, the Toro vitola of the Futuro comes to a point that’s been cut off. It kind of resembles a bullet. Interesting. Removing the cigar from the cellophane, I was greeted with Read more…

But, if you’re like me, you’ve never smoked one before. The Villiger La Vencedora Robusto is a great looking cigar. If you removed the Villiger label and Read more…

Cigar Review: Leaf by Oscar Connecticut Robusto
Initial Thoughts: When I opened my humidor this morning, I thought to myself, “I’ve got two of these Leaf by Oscar Connecticut Robustos, I should probably smoke one.” So, here I am, cautiously optimistic about a cigar I have mixed feelings about. The first cigar from Oscar Valladares was the Oscar Habano Toro by Leaf. I Read more…
