Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve – Corojo (Toro)

I have to give credit to this stogie to my older brother Chris, owner of Sebori Systems, for providing me with these stogies. I had a hard time finding the Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve or the Master Blend 7XX online and at my local shops. I’m not good at stogie hunting like others are. But like any good big brother my bro came thru for me and gifted me with 20 of these wonderful stogies. If anything, keep reading …

Stogie Spotlight – Gary Manelski (About.Com)

Walt switched it up a bit this week by reviewing a couple of ashtrays and a candela wrapped cigar. I wanted to offer our readers something a little different (sorry for screwing up the schedule Walt). I was able to have a great discussion with Gary Manelski your guide to stogies at About.Com. Gary is one of more than 500 topical guides at About.Com and does a great job reviewing stogies and covering the latest issues in the stogie …

Camacho Corojo – Candela

A few days ago I was in my local cigar shop picking up some cigars for my fathers birthday. After picking up a few for him, I decided to get one for myself. In the back of the walk in humidor I came across a box of Camacho Corojo Candelas. Inside the box there was a single cigar remaining. I picked the cigar up and made my way to the register.

Ashtray Reviews

I wanted to do something a little different, we have been reviewing cigars exclusively as of late and I thought it would be a nice change of pace to review some cigar products.

El Rey Del Mundo (Flor De Llaneza Maduro)

In my opinion, El Rey Del Mundo is one of those cigars that get overlooked when walking around your local shop. Its one of those classic names that never surprise you. Its an old stand by when it comes to cigars. The smoker knows what they are getting with each smoke. With so many new cigars on the market that provide complex and in depth flavors its easy to overlook them.…

Montecristo Peruvian (Especiale #2 – Maduro)

Last week (June 28th to be exact) I was at my local JR Cigars doing my normal lunchtime routine and who walks in? Former majority leader, Tom DeLay. I’m not a big political nut but I always find it interesting to see what kind of cigars famous people smoke. After Mr. DeLay played with his blackberry for a bit and took a stroll around the shop he settled on a Montecristo Peruvian (Especiale #2). The next day on the Club …

Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 (Torpedo)

These cigars came to me via a surprise route. store out in Denver CO were nice enough to send us a box of these guys. The store is called Whats Knot to Love and they are Denver’s Most Unique Cigar Shop. I’ve never ordered from these guys so I can’t vouch for how good their service is. But any store that will magically make a box of cigars appear on my doorstep without me doing anything can’t be all bad …
