Flor de Camaguey Rosado

A few months back I was walking around in my local cigar shop when I noticed some really red looking cigars. I decided to go in for a closer look and see exactly what they were. What I found was a crimson red perfecto tucked away in a very simple slide lid box with the word Camaguey printed on the front.…

Indian Tabac Super Fuerte maduro

This week’s Wednesday review is of the Indian Tabac Super Fuerte mini belicoso (5.5×52) with a maduro wrapper. Walt reviewed it last year and I’m taking my shot at it now. It had an attractive appearance with a dark and silky wrapper and a nice semi box-press. There was little give when squeezed, while still not being hard, with no soft spots to speak of and a very easy pre-light draw. This cigar was received in a sampler and had …

Oliva Series G – Cameroon

Welcome back for yet another Monday review. Over the past couple of weeks I have had the opportunity to smoke a few Oliva Series G Cameroons. You may recall that I reviewed the Maduro version a few months back and was very happy with it. Due to the fact that I am more of a Cameroon kind of guy, I have even higher hopes for particular cigar.

The vitola up for review today is the Belicoso size, weighing in at …

Consuegra – Dominican Republic

Another week of nights spent at the hospital. I’m hoping in the next two weeks things settle down and I can get back on track. My cigar this week is the Consuegra from the Dominican Republic. We are pretty familiar with the more popular Consuegra from Honduras as being a great value/bargain cigar…the Dominican does its best to keep with that name:…

How to build a Fridgador

I mentioned during Episode 6 – Your Questions, My Answers that I had a beetle infestation last summer and had since set up a wine cooler as a Fridgador. I received a couple of questions about how I had chosen the model I did and what I had done to set it up. So this week I’ll go a little more in-depth about my Fridgador setup.

Here in East Texas we run the air conditioner roughly eight months a year …
