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

Tatuaje T110 Limited Edition Broadleaf and Sumatra and a Southern Draw Lady Killer
I wasn’t even going to write about the Southern Draw Lady Killer, but I had a special request, so I figured what the heck. I had stopped in to Cigar Mojo on Sunday to buy some cigars I didn’t need. I had been looking for some Illusione CG:4 White Horse for the Diner en Blanc because of the whole white thing, I like to smoke something with “white” in the name of the cigar, and they had gotten some in, so I felt obligated to go buy some for next year. Now I have to remember I have them next year! Anyway, as I was checking out I spied the last two Southern Draw Lady Killers by the register and picked them up.… Continue reading
Asylum 13 Medulla Oblongata at the Humidour on the Hill
Yesterday I found myself in Cockeysville, Maryland so I stopped in the Humidour Cigar Shoppe on the Hill for
a cigar or two. This is not my first visit, I was there six years ago and spent an afternoon there. As a matter of fact, last night when I got home, I smoked a Zorba corona that I had gotten there six years ago. They have three exclusive cigars that are made by Rocky Patel, the Zorba, the Zeus and the Bella Carmella.… Continue reading
Patina Habano and Stolen Throne Call To Arms Cigars
Last weekend when I stopped by Son’s Cigar Lounge I picked up a few cigars I hadn’t smoked before. Even though they are still filling the humidor (it turns out my guess of 15% of capacity in Sunday’s post was spot on as confirmed by Vince), they have an impressive selection of boutique cigars. I bought some Patina Habanos, having not had that before, and having recently enjoyed the Maduro.… Continue reading
A Padron Damaso at Diner en Blanc and a Couple of New All Saints Cigars
Thursday evening my wife and I attended the Philadelphia Diner En Blanc, which is a large, organized pop-up picnic of sorts. This is something that happens in cities all over the world where everyone has to wear white, bring their own tables and chairs and a picnic dinner, and meet at pre-arranged spots in the city where they guide the groups to a “secret” location. It’s usually a
historic landmark, one year it was Philadelphia’s Boathouse Row, City Hall, and the Art Museum steps (think “Rocky”). We’ve been doing it for the last several years and it’s a hoot, and, of course, I work cigars into it and I try to make appropriate choices.… Continue reading
