It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
Yard Gar Season Is Upon Us
I was beginning to think that it would never happen but, Spring has sprung here in Pennsylvania. Our trees are forming leaves, bushes are bursting with color, and the grass is growing like crazy. Aside from cigars and drinks outside, Spring is also the time of year when yardwork begins. Anytime this topic comes up […]
What books have you enjoyed while smoking a cigar?
I like to credit myself with having an excellent long-term memory. It isn’t uncommon for my wife to give me the look of shock and amazement when I mention something obscure we did together years ago. Despite my good memory, I can’t think back to a space in my childhood and see the point where […]
Perdomo Double Aged Maduro 12 Year
Cigar Simple writeup this week as it has been crazy busy around these here parts. This week I will finish up the Perdomo 12 Year triple play with the Perdomo Double Aged maduro 12 year cigar. This was around $10 msrp and is the robusto (even though it seemed bigger to me for some reason). […]
Selected Tobaccos Seleccion de Marcas Part 3 – Atabey Ritos
For our final review for the Seleccion de Marcas, I’m reviewing the Atabey Ritos. This is the largest cigar in the sampler back coming in at 6 1/8 x 55. I don’t know the blend information and I could even find out what the wrapper is as, again, the Atabey and 2 Guys Smoke Shop […]
Supporting your local cigar shop with non-conventional events
A few years ago, I was sitting down at a friend’s house. He had a beautiful addition put in with an impressive ventilation system for cigars. At the time, Kensington Tobacconist (our old home away from home) was struggling and we were kicking around ideas to help ease the strain. A few interesting ideas came […]
Blind Tasting the Punch Signature Gigante
Several years ago I was making the rounds at cigar shops in my area and I had an idea. Our video reviews were doing very well and perhaps we could generate some additional interest if I were to record local lounge patrons and gather their opinion on cigars. The catch was that I wanted to […]

Sometimes you just can’t beat a dark and smokey cigar lounge
Things around the White household have been fairly hectic lately. Besides the busyness of everyday life, over the past week and a half, my wife and I have been watching a deck being built in our back yard. The construction hasn’t bothered us too much, not directly anyway, but it has thrown our dog out […]
Perdomo Double Aged Ecuadorian Connecticut 12 Year Robusto
Cigar I feel like I am a Perdomo whore these past couple weeks because this week I have another one for you, the Perdomo Double Aged Ecuadorian Connecticut 12 Year in the robusto size. This is a normal 5×50 and runs $10 MSRP. This has the Ecuadorian Connecticut wrapper with the Nicaraguan binder and filler. […]
