A Glimpse Into My Cigar Adventures!

News: Cohiba Blue to Launch 7 X 70

I have a couple questions about this story. I hate to be the guy to criticize, but is this cigar really necessary? Cohiba should stick to being a luxury brand and not try to dabble in the value market, which the Blue, and 7x70s tar gets. Now I’m going to have to smoke a Blue tonight and reacquaint myself with it. I guess I’d have to say I’m curious about this one.    COHIBA TAKES A BOLD STEP WITH BLUE… Continue reading »

Punch Aniversario, La Gloria Criollo de Oro and Reinado Grand Apex Cigars

It’s been an odd week, another reason I don’t like this time of year. It was cloudy most of the week, but the temps were fairly warm. Then yesterday it was sunny most of the day and nearly 80 degrees and then it stormed and dropped 20 degrees. Of course, this is the perfect set up for a migraine. Anyway, once I got the grass cut (hopefully for the last time), I saw able to smoke a cigar. But let’s back up a bit. I had a choice on
Friday evening to either watch the Drew Estate Freestyle Live event, or the Flyers season opener, of course I chose the Flyers. Freestyle Live I can watch the replay, the Flyers not so much.… Continue reading »

News: Emilio Cigars Releases LJZ Limited Edition

Funny enough, last week when I went to the Black label event at Son’s, on a whim I wore an old Emilio Cigars polo that Gary Griffith had given me many years ago.  I never really had a good occasion to wear it where I wouldn’t be mistaken for a representative of the company. Anyway, I’m hoping Vince and Brian get these in at Son’s so I can give them a try! I’m going to go smoke another cigar from BLTC right now.

Some ATL Cigars and a BLTC Event at Son’s Cigars

The title is out of order chronologically, but I felt compelled to put it in alphabetical order, regular readers will understand! Wednesday evening I went to Son’s Cigars to their Black Label Trading Company event where they
were hosting James Brown, the owner of the company. You’ll notice that I’ve been frequenting Son’s as of late, it’s 8 miles from home, and while note the closest shop, certainly the nicest and has a great selection of cigars that I want to smoke.… Continue reading »

News: CAO 60 Torque Announced For Holiday Season Release

I’ve had a busy week so far and went out this evening to a cigar event which I’ll talk about later.  In the meantime, here’s some news from CAO about a new cigar that’s coming out for the holiday season. It’s a large cigar, 8″ x 60. Not sure that’s all that necessary, but there are a lot of people who like that big a cigar! I’ll give one a try, but it’ll take me 3 hours!   

CAO 60 KICKS THE HOLIDAYS INTO HIGH GEAR WITH TORQUE

CAO never makes a quiet entrance. With its new release called “60,” the brand is firing on all cylinders, launching what will likely go down as the most bad a$$ premium cigar release of the holiday 2021 season.… Continue reading »
