Five More Questions
Thanks to everyone for their comment love on my first five questions. The e-mails started rolling in and so here are five more questions.
This time around the focus has to do with storage and humidification questions. Do machine made cigars need humidification? What the fuck did I do to my Cigar Oasis Ultra? Which hygrometer is right? Where do I place my humidification device? And my personal favorite; why can’t I use plain tap water?
Enjoy and keep sending …
Five Questions
Between traveling and getting over whatever I got in Las Vegas, I really haven’t had the time to do the needed work for a review. Instead I go old school and do YQMA solo.
I tackle such hard hitting questions like why do we bash that “lifestyle” publication and why don’t we explain how we do our reviews anywhere on the site. I also take time to answer questions about other new releases from CAO as well as why Stogie …
CAO HQ – Unveiled
There I was at CAO Headquarters in Nashville TN. Looking around I saw more professional media covering the event. Of course you’ve seen that Cigar Dave was broadcasting live from the show. There was also Thor from Cigar Press magazine, the guys from Sucker Punch Sallys filming and I’m pretty sure someone from Cigar Aficionado was present. In a few days I’ll post video of the actual event but with such stiff competition I decided to take my coverage in …
CAO Escaparate Tour
I’m going to be honest here. I really didn’t do much work for this video. Credit has to be given to Cigar Dave. During the CAO Lady Liberty Giveaway, Cigar Dave was broadcasting live from CAO Headquarters. I’m sure I could’ve gotten more own personal tour but why reinvent the wheel? Lets kill two birds with one stone. With no objections from CAO or Cigar Dave, I followed The General into the CAO Escaparate for a quick tour and …
Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary
I need to thank Patrick Vivalo (sorry I butcher your last name in the video) for sending two samples of the soon to be released Rocky Patel 15th Anniversary. Its all in the name and by now, most of you (don’t worry Brian Hewitt will catch on eventually) have figured out that the cigar is in honor of Rocky’s 15 years in the cigar industry and is due to make a national release on July 30th.
The Rocky Patel …
Illusione ~mj12~
I hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable 4th! While many were smoking patriotic themed cigars this weekend, I reached into the humidor and pulled out a few Illusione ~mj12~ to review. Our own Brian Hewitt reviewed the ~mj12~ last year and the most glaring difference between this review and his review is that my box didn’t come all nicely wrapped in tin foil. Apparently when my box was packed there was a shortage of tin foil but have no …
3rd Annual Smoke a JJ for JJ Day
July 22nd is the 3rd Annual Smoke a JJ for JJ Day. It is in celebration of my Little Robusto, my son JJ, who as many of you know, passed away from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) while at daycare when he was 3.5 months old. This July 22nd would’ve been his 3rd birthday. The DPG Series JJ was the first cigar I smoked after his birth and holds a truly special place in my heart.
The event is simple, …
