Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

Another assortment of cigars this week for Week in Smoke. Feels good to be home and get back onto a regular schedule. I always look forward to this time of year as we get closer and closer to IPCPR. Releases getting announced, samples arriving at the door…new cigars to love and hate. Any new releases you guys have heard of that has you salivating? I’m not sure if I’ll be at IPCPR this year or not. Our annual cocktail …

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

With a break in travel I thought I’d get up to speed on another edition of Week in Smoke. Had a wonderful family reunion in Las Vegas…sprinkled in a little bit of work but got to do a lot of exciting things with Gracie. If you’re looking to do family things in Las Vegas I highly recommend the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay, the Secret Garden and Dolphin Habitat at the Mirage and if you have a rental car, …

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

Crazy past few weeks. Last minute business trip to NYC that ended up being longer than expected and we found out (the hard way) that Gracie is allergic to nuts. Getting home and Gracie gets hospitalized for some respiratory issues and she may possibly have asthma. Thank you to all of you who contributed to the SIDS Charity Walk. Sadly there were a lot of families who participated. I say sadly because you knew everyone was there because they …

Week In Smoke – Cigarfest 2011 Edition

Earlier this week I mapped out all of our Cigarfest 2011 coverage. Today there was supposed to be a video post of Mike and I discussing our Friday activities. Unfortunately, I was feeling rather lousy last night. After a couple of Nyquil Cocktails, I was down for the count. That brings us to the here and now, Friday morning as I scramble to come up with a post before getting my work day started.

The simplest post was a …

Week in Smoke

This past weekend, Jerry, Brian, Mike, and I discussed what was on tap for this week. It turned out that Jerry had to make a trip out to NYC and suggested that I put together a Week In Smoke for Thursday. I’ve been kicking around the idea of doing one of these posts for a while now, but haven’t delivered because I haven’t come up with a clever name to tag onto the end of it. Brian is the originator, …

Mike’s Kinda Week in Smoke

Well here we are at Monday night and I have been so busy I have not had time to get a review ready for this Tuesday spot, so I figured I might as well do a week in smoke. Now, I have a BAD memory so that is the “Kinda” part in the title as I know I will not remember everything. I also am notoriously bad at snapping pictures of cigars I am smoking so I will be linking …

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

I’m living the life the past couple weeks. Lots of events, travel and of course smoking! The highlight this past week was attending the Texas Cigar Festival in Houston TX hosted by Serious Cigars. It was an awesome event with a great turn out by cigar smokers and manufacturers. I’ll admit that I spent most of my time sitting at the Illusione booth with Dion Giolito and the Tatuaje booth with Pete Johnson. I wish I was better …

Week in Smoke (TGT Video Edition)

I flaked last week on the video edition of Week in Smoke. You’d think recording a few audio clips and matching them up to still pics would be easy. Well its is easy just time consuming! Its basically a glorified slideshow. Thanks for all the continued feedback. We are still anxiously waiting for blip.tv to released their new HTML5 video player so that the embeds will work for you iOS users. Until then, I hope the YouTube version is acceptable. …

Week in Smoke (TGT Edition)

Another exciting week of cigars to fill the Week in Smoke (TGT Edition). This past week I received a few e-mails asking what prompted us to add the Week in Smoke and another suggesting that this was my way of “showing off”. To answer the question as to “why” we do the Week in Smoke is easy. We received a lot of inquiries about what else do we smoke when we aren’t reviewing cigars for the site. Most of …

Week In Smoke – TGT Edition

Back with another edition of Week In Smoke. I really appreciate the feedback we’ve received for this feature. I’ll have the video version up later for those of you who enjoy that medium or for those of you who never visit the site and just subscribe to the podcast on iTunes.

Been a busy few weeks since returning from the Dominican Republic. Its always surprises me what an eclectic group of cigars I will pick up on any given …
