Augusto Reyes Signature (Short Ashes)
At this years IPCPR Trade Show in New Orleans, I was introduced to a few new brands. One of those brands, while not new to the industry, was Augusto Reyes. Having talked on Twitter, I was looking forward to getting over to the booth and sampling the brand. In addition to the sample I was given at the Augusto Reyes booth, I also came home with samples in my TBOTLCH Press Kit.

Oliva Serie V Liga Especial (Blind Tasting)

Mike’s Humidor Tour
First off I used the Kodak Zi8 camcorder and the audio gave the noise again. I am sending it back for repair so the next few reviews will probably be with the old camcorder.
I kept getting asked to do a humidor tour, so here it is, short and sweet. After watching this you will understand why I did not think people would be very excited about it.
Enjoy the tour.

Note – sorry for the video and audio quality. Been talking with Kodak about my camcorder and trying to get a lapel mic to try on it also. Hopefully it will be good to go for my next review. This was done on my computer with my webcam.
