This is the second and final installment in my series of posts recapping my experiences smoking the Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Stillwell Star cigars that I purchased at the launch event in South Carolina a week and a half ago. I went into this exercise with an open mind, but with very little experience with pipe tobacco. I’ve smoked a pipe in a the past, but I always found that there was too much work involved and I didn’t get enough satisfaction from it commensurate with the effort involved, the preparation, the cleaning, the general fiddling around involved in smoking the pipe. I’m much happier to just light a cigar and put it down when I’m done and be finished with it. I find that far more relaxing. Of course, that’s just me, there seem to be dozens of people who enjoy smoking a pipe.… Continue reading

Stillwell Star Aromatic No. 1 and English No. 27 Cigars
I wanted to get through all four, but stuff came up and I didn’t have time to get the other two in. I will smoke the Bayou No. 32 and Navy No. 1056 this week and write about them in a separate post. Stretches things out a little anyway. I picked up one each of these at the launch event at Low Country Pipe and Cigars last week in South Carolina, long drive for four cigars! The company was good though!… Continue reading
Stillwell Star Release Event at Low Country Pipe and Cigars
Friday was the official release event for the long awaited and anticipated release of Steve Saka’s Stillwell Star cigars, a foursome of cigars blended with pipe tobacco. The release was held at Low Country Pipe and Cigar, in Little River, South Carolina, which is owned by the same company that owns Cornell & Diehl, the pipe tobacco company that worked with Steve on the blends of the Still Well Star cigars. Now we know how a shop in South Carolina and their website, SmokingPipes.com, ended up with the exclusive launch. Of course, an event of this magnitude deserved cigar media coverage, and Bob The Cigar Guy, and his son The Chief, popular Youtubers, were on hand. I popped in from Pennsylvania to provide support on the written word side of things since nobody else seemed to be stepping up 😁 .… Continue reading

An HVC 10th Anniversary Cigar and a New Govee WiFi Thermometer Hygrometer Set
I had a few days off this week to take care of some things, so as I was out running some errands on Friday I stopped in to Son’s Cigars to see Vince for a few minutes and see what was new. Of course, I made some impulse buys, and bought some new cigars, one of which was a recommendation by Vince, the HVC 10th Anniversary. I’ve enjoyed the HVC cigars I’ve smoked, as well as most of the Aganorsa cigars, from which factory this cigar is produced.… Continue reading
