El Titan de Bronze Grand Reserve Cameroon
I’m a sucker for Cameroon wrapper cigars. Something about a Cameroon wrapper that calls me. Maybe it has to do with how delicate the wrapper is or the exotic flavors. My exposure to El Titan de Bronze is limited to one Redemption that I got during a box pass but while I was here in Philadelphia I came across the Grand Reserve by El Titan de Bronze while visiting the Black Cat Cigar Company.
Maybe not the most serious review…maybe …

Cuba Aliados Miami
I always hesitate doing these types of reviews. I never feel comfortable or confident recording a review based on just smoking a cigar one time. There are too many variables when it comes to reviewing cigars and I always try to give a manufacturer the benefit of the doubt and a fair chance to impress me. Luckily for me, the Cuba Aliados Miami only needed one smoke to get it right and impress me.
Without hesitation I’m going to award …

Quick Question with Alan Rubin (Alec Bradley Cigars)
After my review of the Trilogy Authentic Corojo by Alec Bradley, I was left with one question: Why the change in shape from its original triangle press to the standard round shape?
During Cigar Fest 2009, I got my question answered by Alan Rubin:

Gurkha Warlord (Special Edition)
I guess “Special” isn’t always used in a positive light. I’m no expert on Gurkha cigars. In fact, I’m really not sure if I’ve smoked anything, ever, from Gurkha before this Warlord. But I do know a little bit about cigars and in all honesty, I found nothing special about this edition of the Gurkha Warlord.
Video runs a little over 15:00 as I bash the Gurkha Warlord for being everything but special.…
Rocky Patel Renaissance
Continuing on my Rocky Patel kick, I’m back this week with a review of the Rocky Patel Renaissance. Now if you were following my escapades in Orlando earlier in the month you will know that I had my first Renaissance while I was vacationing but lets see how the Renaissance holds up back here in MD.
Video runs 12:20 and I show what a wussy boy I am as I squeal like a little girl when a bee gets a …
