Since IPCPR is in full swing (scroll down for the rant), and I have a full physical inventory at work tonight that has been taking up a lot of my time this week, I figure it would be a great time to have a contest. I also was anxious to share some of these Don Juan Calaveras cigars, and I always like sharing my buddy Kevin’s Cigar Props and Lighter Bleed Tools. Now, the Cigar Prop and Lighter Bleed Tool are Cigar Prop’s legacy products! Kevin has been expanding his product offerings with some really unique and different materials lately, but I’m old school and love the traditional materials. Read on for the contest details:… Continue reading

Muestra de Saka #NLMTHA and Diamond Crown Black Diamond Cigars and Thoughts on Smoking Laws
I’m headed off to an event up at Famous Smoke Shop this afternoon, so I’m going to make this pretty quick, although I had a few things I wanted to talk about. First, I had occasion to smoke Steve Saka’s latest cigar in his Muestra de Saka line, the #NLMTHA Lancero. #NLMTHA stands for Now Leave Me The Hell Alone, referring to the fact that he made this lancero pretty much under protest, considering he isn’t a real fan of the format, and people have been pestering him to make a cigar in this shape. Now, I like a Lancero, but I understand Steve’s reluctance. His whole philosophy is to only make cigars he likes himself, so making this cigar must have been painful for him. He’s a perfectionist, so if he was going to make a lancero, it was going to be done right, his way, or the highway. Naturally,I had to get my hands on a couple to sample myself, just to see what the hubbub was all about. Fortunately, I was able to purchase a couple from BnB Cigars in nearby Chestnut Hill, PA from the comfort of home, since my schedule prevented me from visiting Vince in person.… Continue reading
A La Sirena LT, Some Other Great Cigars and A Rant Continuation
I’ve been fortunate to have either been picking some really great cigars lately, or really enjoying the cigars I’ve been smoking, or both! I think I’ve been gravitating toward known sure things due to the winter blues, honestly, I smoked a couple favorites from Cornelius and Anthony this week, a Cornelius and a Señor Esugars in Toro sizes just because I wanted to smoked great cigars on those particular days. Both times I was reminded of how much I really love the flavors in both those cigars, even though they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, they both satisfy me in different ways. I had a La Flor Dominicana Ligero Natural L400 that was spectacular as well, and a La Palina LP 02 that, while I still am not sure about the band and packaging, the cigar is awesome. Again, two completely different flavor profiles, but both delight my palate! Like I said, Everything tasted great to me this week!… Continue reading
