News: J.C. Newman Cigar Co. Reintroduces Perla Del Mar

I’m pretty excited about this news. I really like the Perla Del Mar Maduro, and I look forward to trying the new Corojo. They are reasonably priced and well made and taste good. Always a good combination! I do have to say that I really like the old bands over these new ones. I think they remind me too much of another brand, and look too bundle-like. The old brands were elegant and classy! What do I know?

News: The Fratello Humidor Announced by Fratello Cigars

I recently heard an interview with Omar of Fratello where he said that he had some help from one of his NASA engineer friend in the design of this humidor. The cigars look pretty awesome too. I smoked a Fratello Classico toro (the 6″ x 50 from a Space Fresh Pack) tonight and it was quite tasty, it’s been quite a while since I’ve had a full size Classico, I’d forgotten how much I enjoyed the blend. That little bit of Peruvian tobacco he uses is distinctive.

News: Drew Estate Announces Cancellation of Barn Smoker Live Virtual Event

This is the last of my Wednesday news barrage, and sadly it’s bad news.  I really don’t like posting bad news, and in retrospect, I should have put these in a different order, if only to make myself feel a little better. The silver lining is at the end of the press release, but we have come to expect this sort of generosity from the folks at Drew Estate. I have been to three of the Barnsmokers, and recommend them when life returns to normal. 

Today Drew Estate announces the cancellation of the upcoming Barn Smoker Live virtual event, originally scheduled for November 14th, due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases throughout Florida.… Continue reading »

News: Black Works Studio Announces the Release of S&R

Here’s some news from Black Works Studio. This looks interesting, I enjoy most of what I’ve smoked out of Oveja Negra, and I love Sumatra wrappers, so this interests me. I’m not opposed to Lanceros and Corona Gordas either, and a Culebra sounds interesting, especially if I can find two friends to smoke it with! 

Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of S&R: Hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.  S&R will be available at select BLK WKS retailers for a limited time.… Continue reading »
