Sosa

Last week while visiting JM Cigars in Exton I was wandering around in the humidor when I came across a box of Sosa cigars. Not having tried one before, I decided to pick up a couple. I have heard good things about the Sosa line and looked forward to sampling one.

La Flor De La Isabela 1881

Regardless of what faith you do or don’t practice its that time of year where we find ourselves spending time (sometimes too much time) with our families. For me, this past year has been one of the best years I can remember and that mainly has to do with my first trip home to the Philippines. In the Philippines I met a side of the family I’ve only heard about and now I’m thinking of them and hoping they…

5 Vegas Gold

Since the high was 80° F here this afternoon, and I was invited to play for free, I headed out for a round of golf. The weather isn’t very Christmas-y but it’s great for golf. I brought along this 5 Vegas Gold Torpedo at 6×54. I didn’t want to get into anything too strong as I had only eaten a bagel for breakfast and I’ve found I like these in the morning. Unfortunately the digital camera didn’t cooperate and…

Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente maduro

I enjoy the Arturo Fuente Rothschild maduro and since the Chateau Fuente shares so many characteristics I decided to pick one up. That combined with the fact one of my local shops actually has these priced $.50 cheaper than the Rothschilds made this one sure seem like a winner on paper. Both the Rothschild and Chateau Fuente are 4.5×50 and, at least in the maduro, I can’t find any references to any difference other than the cedar sleeve.

Gisbert Maduro

A couple of weeks ago, after finishing the first bargain cigar breakdown, I received a recommendation to try the Gisbert Maduro Toro. A few days later while at my favorite cigar shop I came across a box perched up on a high shelf. Inside I found about a half box, so I picked up a pair and continued to wander around in the humidor.

Perdomo Reserve – Cameroon

Last week I had a stressful day at work. Throughout the day I kept thinking about what cigar I would light up once I got home to unwind. After thinking about cigars all day, my work day finally came to a close and I made my way home.

Once I got in I started to dig around in the cooler and came across a cigar that was given to me by my girlfriend for our four year anniversary back…

Padron Londres

A couple of weeks ago I came across a comment in the Bargain Cigar breakdown I posted, recommending I try a Padron Londres. Coincidentally I had some on the way from a purchase I made.

The Griffin’s XII (2006 Special Edition)

Wow! That’s what I have to say about this cigar from the Davidoff family. From construction to flavor to aroma, the 2006 Special Edition Griffin is an awesome stogie and is limited to only 7,000 boxes of 10 for $90.
