About six months ago I reviewed the ThermPro TP59 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer, and among the downsides of that unit was the large size. The folks at ThermPro seem to have solved that problem with the smaller ThermPro TP357 Wireless Thermometer Hygrometer. I received one of these a few weeks ago and replaced the TP59 in the cabinet and began testing it.… Continue reading

Four of the Six Cigars from the CigarProp Sampler from Cigar Bundles of Miami
A couple months ago I placed an order with Cigar Bundles of Miami and one of the items I picked up was the CigarProp Sampler. Of course, one of the reasons I got this was to support Kevin of CigarProp, who has supported me for so many years. He’s a great friend and I get behind whatever ventures he’s involved in. I’ve had some great experiences with cigars from Cigar Bundles of Miami too.… Continue reading
A Zeus Churchill Cigar and CigarCraig.com’s 12th Anniversary
It was on this day in 2009 that CigarCraig.com was born, a birthday present from my wife. As I’ve told the story before, I had no idea what I would do with the URL, really didn’t much know what a blog or blogger was, so I had to figure something out. I had spent time on USENET, and the thought of trying to build yet another informational site seemed daunting and redundant. So there was this blog thing. I never was much of a writer, so it started pretty abysmally, but I figured I’d just start writing about some cigars I smoked and places I went and stuff I did, just like I used to do on USENET.… Continue reading
News: Black Label Trading Company Releases Viaticum
Here’s another news item, this one from Black Label Trading. This is one I haven’t sm
oked from them, which, honestly, isn’t saying a lot as there is a great deal of the BLTC stuff I haven’t sampled. I love what I do smoke, I just haven’t dug deep into the catalog for whatever reason. Not much excuse a
s a couple shops within 10 miles in a couple directions have a good selection. It’s something to work on…
Black Label Trading Company (BLTC) is releasing VIATICUM in three vitolas to select retailers this month. Viaticum is hand crafted at Fabrica Oveja Negra in Esteli, Nicaragua.
VIATICUM is a small batch release that was originally released in one vitola in 2019 to retailers who attended the PCA trade show. This is the second and full release made available to all BLTC retailers.
“Viaticum is an evolution of the Last Rites blend and a testament to what Black Label Trading Co is all about. It uses most of the same tobaccos but in different proportions and primings. It’s the perfect balance between strength and complexity. This cigar is bold but also very refined. It’s all about balance. The dark fruit and earth flavors are wrapped in soft floral notes and elevated with a multitude of spice on the finish,” says James Brown, creator of BLTC and partner at Fabrica Oveja Negra.
