Humidor Notes Cigar Journals

Welcome to another accessory or tool review if you would. This week I have for you the Humidor Notes cigar journals.

These are available at Humidor Notes for $12.95 + shipping.

If you want to ask questions you can also hop on twitter and follow HumidorMuse

Short summary. I think they are a nice thing to have on hand if you are a casual smoker so you can keep track of how well a cigar was for you.

Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier Review

Welcome all my friends. I have had so much peer pressure put on me to get this review done, I figured I would cave in and do it now.

Yes, my head is cut off on most of it. Some may say that is a good thing.

I hope you enjoy the review and as always, leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. If everyone who dm’d, pm’d, emailed or even called me about this unit leaves a …

Nat Sherman Timeless – Churchill

Well my friends I seemed to have forgotten to save the written part of my review for this Nat Sherman Timeless so you will be stuck with the video for this one.

I will tell you if I would buy it again. YES I would love to try more of all the sizes to pick the one I like the most but with the strength on some of them, I doubt I would smoke it all the time.

AUDIO –…

Welcome to my first cigar review of 2012. I figured I would do something a little special for all my fans so we are going to take a look at the Montecristo New York Connoisseur Edition.

I received this as a blogger sample from Altadis.

This cigar comes in only one size, a 6×60 box press and is only available …

Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier Teaser

Just like the title says, this is a little sneak peek at the Whirlpool AP51030K Air Purifier I just bought. This unit was rated #1 in Consumer Reports in September of 2010.

As many of you know, I had to send the RabbitAir back so I ended up snagging this at my local Sears to replace it for now.

This unit cost a bit over $300 and actually has a higher CADR rating than the RabbitAir did.

I will be …

Mike’s Top Cigars of 2011

First off I have to take my hat off to Walt for coming out and telling how it is. I don’t understand the major misconception that all bloggers get showered with free items all the time. Most of my cigars are bought from my own money or have been graciously sent to me by my viewers or friends.

Secondly, Walt is absolutely correct in his idea for a top list. If a cigar is in your top (whatever number) you …

Macanudo Vintage 1993 Number 1 – First Impressions

Filler : Dominican/Mexican

Cigar

Not going to be a big write up today as it is Christmas Eve and watching my video on the Macanudo Vintage 1993 Number I is so much better than reading my drivel.

I will say I think the cigar has sat too long and lost a lot of flavors because if this is how it tasted in the beginning, nobody …

Mike’s Look at Cutters

Welcome back once again my friends to another week of me battling this dang cold with a sore throat, cough and taste buds that seem to have been burnt off at the roots.

I am going to talk just a little bit about different cuts on cigars this week. I know most of you will groan but there are a lot of newer smokers or even veterans that have never seen nor tried anything other than the standard straight cut, …

Stogie Review Travel Humidors

Welcome to my write up for this week. I have been battling this nasty cold/flu that is going around and have not been able to smoke a cigar since Thanksgiving. I am hoping I can smoke next week but the way this thing is hanging around, I am not sure.

Well anyway, this gives me the opportunity to introduce the world to the Stogie Review Travel Humidor. We have 5, 10 and 15 count sizes with that beautiful logo …
