This week I unwrapped the wonderful San Cristobal Elegancia. It was blended by My Father Cigars for Ashton and is a mild to medium body, wonderfully creamy smoke. I have enjoyed this cigar since the first one I lit. So I decided to unravel it and place a habano wrapper on it. After removing the...
Throughout the years I have often been asked by flavored/infused cigar smokers to give recommendation for a “regular” cigar. Now, to me, a cigar is a cigar, whether is is flavored or not. Many seasoned smokers turn up their nose when they catch a whiff of the aromatic smoke while they are trying to enjoy...

It is no secret that I am proud to be a cigar blogger. But to be honest, there is not much glory in it. That’s not my motivation for posting. It is a lot of hard work and dedication, it is a commitment. A Labor of Love. An activity driven by nothing else but a...

Ah, here we go again! This week I decided to manipulate the flavor profile of the San Lotano Oval. And once again, I wanted to do more than simply place a wrapper on it. So I thought it would be a good idea to give it some snazzy stripes! While digging deep in my humidor,...

Last week on the CigaRobbie Radio Show they featured the Esteban Carreras 211. This cigar claims it has the same Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper as the Davidoff Millennium but it covers a blend of Nicaraguan tobaccos. The 211 is a good medium body cigar. It starts off with a bit of spice, that drops off...
So you’re hanging out with a buddy enjoying a couple cigars one afternoon. He reaches in his travel caddy and hands you a cigar, you take it then take a look at it. You look up at your friend unsure of what to say when he says: “That’s the one I was telling you about!...
While buried in a retro issue of Cigar Aficionado, (is 1998 considered retro yet?) my page flipping led me to an article about the Cameroon wrapper. The story is incredible. If Cameroon and the Central African Republic are the Oyster, The French government is the grain of sand and the Cameroon wrapper is the pearl. Rick...
