I know, you’re saying to yourself: “didn’t Craig just have a great contest a few weeks ago? Is he going back to his old ways?” Well, it just works out that a cool item came across my doorstep that I wanted to share with you guys, and why wait, but more on that in a bit. First, I made another visit to one of my local CigarCigars shops, this time the one in Berwyn, PA. Kameron is the manager there, and curates the Instagram account for the shop. I have been seeing his proclivity for pics of vanity license plates, so I figured there was one glaring omission from his collection and it was my responsibility to fill that void!… Continue reading
A Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero and Odds and Ends
I’m kind of running low on new cigars to write about, and this isn’t a plea for new cigars or anything, just a bit of explanation of why things seem to have slowed down here a little. I haven’t been getting out to get new things to smoke enough. Some of it’s laziness, some of it’s just enjoying some of the cigars I have on hand.

Los Caidos, The Duke Cigars and a Charter Oak Habano and a Rant
Let’s just get past the fact that I slacked off on my Wednesday post and substituted two news pieces instead. Pure laziness on my part. I did smoke a few new to me cigars this week, so let’s focus on those here! First off was a cigar that was generously shared with my by my amigo Adam a while ago. This was a Los Caidos, which is made at Aganorsa and a dollar from each cigar goes to a charity to help the families of fallen police and firefighters. There are red and blue bands so the consumer can choose which department they wish to support, but both cigars are the same. It’s a tasty smoke, with some pepper spice, wood and earthiness. It burned well and provided a great smoking experience. If you bought these only to support the cause it would be OK, but you’d be getting a great cigar too. I think there’s a good message of unity on the band design as well. As always, thank you to Adam for sharing this with me!… Continue reading
News: Drew Estate Ships Undercrown Dojo Dogma Sun Grown to Drew Diplomat Retailers
I didn’t get around to posting any original content on Wednesday, I had a Tuesday news item with a short editorial comment and then I got distracted and didn’t get around to writing a Wednesday post. So here’s a Drew Estate news item. I’ve smoked the “Sun Dog”, and it’s good. I may break open the other sampler I have and smoke another one. My only complaint is that it’s too short. but the size seems to suit the blend,… Continue reading
