cigar reviews

Tried a new coffee yesterday, well a new 'old' coffee, but you'll have to read about that shall we say, at 'another time', for various reasons. This is about a cigar. Again, it was a gift from a friend, and had been very well aged. I must have had this cigar for about two years, maybe even...

shortly after midnight, the night was relaxing and not bitter cold, as the past couple of days had been. After a windy weekend, the temperatures had dipped to the point where Monday morning the Icy Blast had again invaded our part of the country with a roar like a runaway freight train going...

This was a beautiful little 5x36 cigar with a somewhat dark brown wrapper, although not maduro. A little tightly rolled but absolutely no problems with the draw. A rich, medium bodied, medium flavored stick with bold flavors of espresso coffee, unsweetened dark chocolate and molasses to start...

El Dentes. That's what it says on the band. That's pretty much it, except for something about high quality. It was. Again, I've got about 100 or so cigars left in my four desk tops, almost all of them sent to me through the kindness of internet cigar friends. Some are big names, some are no...

as the lady whose birthday falls on that day. March 11th is my best friend's birthday, wellllll, I have seven best friends, because it really isn't fair to think of any one of them as my best friend, because they are that special. But March 11th is one of those people, a very special friend's...

I stopped at B&B cigar today on my way home from work, as I do Every day, but today was a special day, No reason I just wanted to treet my self to a Fine cigar that I know I deserved , so I went hunting in one of my humidors before leaveing the house this morning & dropped a pair of Diamond...

if this was a special release, because I bought one a few years ago at my favorite cigar shop in NYC, De La Concha. The band was different then. I'm not up on my cigars, and since many brand names have more than one line of cigar attached to them, I'll describe the band. It's a thin, white...

All the cigars I've had of this line have been huge and sent to me by friends. This afternoon I went digging in Desk Top III during my second tasting of Wild Turkey Kentucky Spirit and decided I wanted something big. At the bottom, laying lengthwise were some cigars I've been keeping for a...

Grand Central Terminal shortly after 0000 hours, I found unusually chilly air, but then again, I've become unusually sensitive, and after this winter, and some of the problems affording asthma medication and trouble with injuries, any chilly breeze blows right through me like a knife. But...

maybe not. :D As my train pulled into Grand Central Terminal three minutes late* tonight at 0007 hours, I roused myself and got ready for the night ahead at work. I thought that instead of following my cold weather routine of going downstairs into the subway for the one stop trip to work...

be quite pleasurable to walk along just about any stretch of turf enjoying a fhine, fhine, ptttttttttemium cigahhh, . . . that is if one indeed is not in a typical "New York Minute" rush. Such was the case on Monday morning, which found me running a few errands after leaving work a little...

This is one of those "casualties of the boom" cigars and yes, it's linked to famous and heavily tanned movie actor George Hamilton. I bought a box of these at phatash.com about a year ago, with shipping the cost was somewhere about $1.30-1.45 apiece, if I recall correctly. I kept most of...

BBF, yes, the famous BBF exalted by Cuban Cigar smokers the world over, the one that is pointed to as being the epitome of strength and flavor. WHAAAAAAATTT?!?!?!??? exclaimed the 81,758 bourbonized fans in Jen U. Whine Habano Stadium. You've got to be kidding Bloof, you didn't smoke one of...

This was a huge 8x52 beauty in a medium brown wrapper that felt like deerskin to the touch. The band says Camacho on it, and I remember the very generous friend who sent it to me telling me it was a special edition, the Camacho Centennial I believe. Perhaps he'll pop in to elaborate. As I...

I did say the word Habano within the confines of the United States of America. Don't ask, don't tell. Thursday is the day when I leave my temp job in the morning at We Can Kick Your Law Firm's Tuchas and make my way around town meeting with freelance clients, picking up resumes and legal...

cigar was from a box I ordered a while back that has some respect among those who prefer stronger, more fuller bodied cigars. As a result, I kept those I didn't send to friends for quite a while before I worked up the courage to smoke it. That is because I prefer Girly Man cigars. No, I'm not...

Yeah, yeah, I know, Hey Bloofington, the Super Bowl was like, last Sunday, which means it might as well have been in 347 B.C. You know the minute the Super Bowl is over, it's Ancient History!! Yes, yes, I know, but I wasn't here then, and I do have blond hair. Well, what's that got to do with...

About two years ago I obtained a box of Vegas Robaina Famosos. I thought they were going to be pretty low-end quality (by Cuban standards) since they were Robusto size but cost the same as a box of panatelas or lonsdales. To my amazement they were on par with the Cohiba and Opus X of the same...
