We had a special occasion this week, so that called for a special occasion cigar, so I pulled out a Diamond Crown Maximus Robusto No. 5. The Diamond Crown Maximus is another one of those cigars that has been on my list of “classics” for the last probably 15 years since it came out. It’s on the list of cigars I’d like to always have a box of in my humidor, along with Fuente Don Carlos, Hemingway, and Añejo of some sort, and a Padrón 1964. It’ made my Fuente, it’s wrapper is a corona leaf from Ecuador making it very heavy and dark, so it’s got a very rich flavor.… Continue reading

Contest! A 90+ Rated All-Star Sampler
I’ve been lazy, and haven’t smoked anything new to write about over the last few days. So the obvious solution is to give some cigars away. I recently updated the Best Cigar Prices Ad on the site, and I immediately purchased the deal, which I, for some reason unknown, I almost always do. Like I need more cigars! So I figure I would turn around and give that sampler away! It’s not that I wouldn’t smoke any one of the five cigar, I was eyeing them tonight, but opted for something else instead.… Continue reading
A German Engineered Cigar, a Couple Drunk Chicken Cigars and the Contest Winner!
I smoked some new, lesser known, cigars this week, the first of which were some of the new NN01 cigars from German Engineered Cigars. Five years ago I wrote about the Rauchvergnügen cigar, the company’s first cigar. This new cigar is made at Tabacalera William Ventura in the Dominican Republic, and the components are undisclosed. The cigar is presented in one vitola, a 7″ x 48 Churchill, with a milk chocolate colored wrapper.… Continue reading
Contest! Drew Estate Swag and Some Cigars From My Humidor
OK, I’ve been teasing a contest for too long, and it’s been way too long since I’ve had a giveaway! So it’s time! I’ve had some goodies here that My friends at Drew Estate were kind enough to provide for me, and I’ll scrape together some Drew Estate cigars from my humidor to add as well. I’m sure I’ll find some more to throw in as the week goes by too! As it stands, here’s the stuff!… Continue reading
New Govee Sensors, a Few Cigars and a Contest Winner
I’ve been using the Govee WiFi and Bluetooth humidity and temperature sensors in my humidors for a while now, and recently got some of their new ones to try out. I got three of them (actually four, one comes in a handy two pack). The first one is the WiFi Smart Thermo Hygrometer, Model H5179. The batteries were included in the device, it just had a strip of plastic that needed to be removed for the batteries to make contact. The Bluetooth pairing and WiFi connection were very simple through the app (which I already had from having multiple other devices). There’s no display on this device, so everything is monitored through the app, Temperature, humidity, along with historical data for something like a year. You can also set alerts for highs and lows so if there are spikes in your humidor you can address them before any long term damage is done. This also had a mounting bracket and a lanyard (the later of which serves no purpose in my application). I will probably mount this in my primary cabinet humidor.… Continue reading
