Montesino Diplomatico

This 5.5×42, slightly box-pressed, maduro wrapped beauty came to me courtesy of a trade and while I’m usually pretty good at keeping track of what I’ve got in the humidors and where it came from I can’t remember for the life of me where this one came from. The wrapper was dark and oily and the construction was flawless save for one medium-sized vein running right down the back.…

Montecristo White

While I was wishing for something white on Christmas here in Maryland, the closest I got to a white Christmas was enjoying my Montecristo White cigar.

This is the Toro sized Montecristo White and comes in at 6 long with a 54 ring gauge. The Montecristo White features an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler from both the Dominican and Nicaragua.…

He was kind enough to do so and about a week later, I had …

Pirate’s Gold No. 4

The Pirate’s Gold brand has been made by several manufacturers in as many different countries, with this particular Honduran-grown version apparently no longer being produced.

Production has since been moved to Nicaragua and I’ve yet to read or hear any reviews of the Nicaraguan …

Oliva Series G Maduro

A couple of days before Christmas, I had the opportunity to sneak away for about an hour or so and try to enjoy some time to myself with a good cigar. The cigar that I decided to go with at that particular time was an Oliva Series “G” Maduro.

While at JM Cigars in Exton, PA I came across a box of these in a Torpedo Shape. The box was full of rich, dark, oily cigars and I couldn’t resist …

Happy New Year!

Jerry, Brian, and I would like to thank you all for visiting our little corner on the web. It has been a fantastic year and we all are looking forward to what is in store for 2007.

My apologies for the slow couple of weeks. Due to the Holidays, managing both family time and cigar time has been very difficult. Things will be back to normal this week.

Thanks again

Walt, Jerry, & Brian…
