Cigars are funny things, they can be a celebration, or they can pick you up when you’re down. Sunday I needed a pick-up cigar after the Flyers lost to the Rangers in a playoff game they needed to win. I went for one of the best cigars I have in my humidors, a Drew Estate Liga Privada Serie Unico UF-13 Dark. I’ve had the good fortune to have smoked a bunch of these and, I have to say, I like them. The size (5½” x 52) works very well, its perfectly balanced and satisfying. It’s…

E.P. Carrillo has updated the big-ring gauge Inch line that he introduced a couple of years ago, incorporating a Corojo wrapper and binder. For those who are fond of the Corojo leaf – and that includes me – this is enticing news. And something worth investigating, even if large ring gauge cigars seem a little excessive.

Reading into Padron’s historical ratings really requires an Excel spreadsheet. When you consider what this company has done, their history is unmatched. I cannot think of a company with a small portfolio, which has review after review of high ratings from the cheapest to most expensive cigar. Across the board from bloggers, magazines, reviewers, critics, you will always find Padron. When I think of the best maduro on earth, I think of PAdron. When I got into cigars after…

I revisited some cigars this week as well as trying a new one and there were some big news stories. I was plagued with migraines at the end of the week, so I took Friday off to recover. I think raw onions are another trigger along with red dye 40 (and maybe the yellow dyes too, not sure about that one). Anyway, I did manage to smoke a few cigars, let me ramble on about them before we get to the important stuff!

During my time at IPCPR 2013 I discovered a lot of brands I was not familiar with. Elogio was one of those brands. The husband and wife team was their with their daughter, which really showed the dynamics of this company, and they were all very pleasant to talk to. Very enthusiastic to speak about their brand and love of the industry. So, today I am going to review the Elogio LSV Corona Extra. A size that is a personal favorite. …

Last time I said I was going to smoke some readily available cigars as opposed to the limited and discontinued stuff I was smoking last week. I think I managed to accomplish that, and smoke some pretty tasty cigars in the process! Sunday afternoon I lit up my last 1502 Black Gold Toro, a cigar I really like and will have to put some more in my humidor. I recently received all three 1502 blends in lancero format, so look for those recaps in the not too distant future! Anyway, I love the…

I know most of the media guys on the recent Cigar Safari trip have been banging out articles about the trip, but for some reason, it has been difficult for me to write about it. I guess you can call it writer’s block, being terrible with the written word, being scared of writing something that isn’t good, or a host of other things.…
