La Flor Domicana Double Ligero Lancero Cameroon

If you’re familiar with the current offerings of La Flor Dominicana, you’re probably a little puzzled by the name of this review. A Double Ligero Cameroon? Is Brian wrong, or this a manifestation of his previously documented lunacy? Will it help if I mention the box was actually labeled “CameooM” [emphasis added]? No?

Well that’s because these cigars are not widely available. The word is that Litto Gomez actually made this special blend of Double Ligero for a local Atlanta…

Twitter Poll: Best Value Smoke

Last week I posted a quick question on Twitter asking what cigar everyone though was the best value, or bang for your buck. The responses were great and brought a few cigars to mind that I haven’t had in some time.

The Results:
@dcamacho: Padron! The 2000 is a fantastic smoke and its 3/4 dollars at my local B&M!

@click2riff: I really enjoyed the Padilla Hybrid too once upon a time!

@TomMclovin: I’m goin with the

Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve

This week I bring you a cigar that I’ve had in my humidor for about 7 months. When I first smoked the Habana Reserve it was very inconsistent and I really couldn’t decide whether I liked it or not. Fast forward 7 months and without question, this is a solid cigar.

Ashton San Cristobal Clasico (Saturday Supplemental)

A while back, one of our readers was really after me to do a video review. He seemed particularly disappointed that I chose to review the San Cristobal Guajiro in text and pictures only. So I promised him that once I finally got around to doing a video review, the very first one would be of the San Cristobal by Ashton. Of course, the problem with a promise like that, is I will keep it, and being the very…

La Gloria Cubana Artesanos De Miami Churchill

I’ve got a question for you. What’s my favorite cigar to review? If you said a pre-lease cigar you’re absolutely right. (“I don’t care” also accepted.) So it is with great enthusiasm that I light up the cigars for this week’s review. This new Artesano de Miami cigars by La Gloria Cubana is due to drop sometime in June.

How did I get my hands on this new cigar so far ahead of its release? I’d like to say the…

Macanudo Maduro

I’m baaaaaaaack! Filling in for Walt here so I thought I’d give my new Aiptek pocket camcorder a try and see how it would work if I needed to do a review or interview on the fly. Since this isn’t my regular time slot, I used different music too.

Short video that only runs only 7:20 and I know I don’t look excited in the video and its not that I don’t like Macanudo cigars but I just feel…

Famous Dominican 2000

This week I review another exclusive from Famous Smoke Shop (if this keeps up they should really sponsor us or something right?).

Walt reviewed the Famous Dominican 2000 last year and I thought it be great to do an update to that review and add my own comments since Dominican and mild cigars are my forte.
