Artista, PDR and Española Cigars

I’m struggling with it being August already! I want summer to be year round.  I have this Frontier Airlines Go-Wild pass that I haven’t used yet this year, so at least when the weather starts to cool off here I can get to someplace warm. I’m still itching to take a day trip. Anyone want to meet up at your local lounge for a smoke or two?  Anyway, I was going through the cigars from the Smoke-onos festival and pulled out a few I haven’t smoked for todays edition. … Continue reading »

A few More PDR Cigars and Some Villiger News

Let’s see, what do I want to talk about today?  I’ve been stuck working weekends and evenings a lot, so I’ve been kind of slacking on smoking the newer stuff, plus i don’t have a great many new cigars to smoke around. Earlier this week I reeved a news release from Villiger Cigars that I wanted to share, but I had just posted the contest on Wednesday, and wanted to leave it front and center for as long as possible. So I figured I’d enjoy a Villiger cigar Friday evening, and selected a La Vencedora Churchill since the only La Flor de Ynclans I had were the mis-named Lancero, and I couldn’t find them! I wanted a longer smoke anyway, and I enjoy the Joya de Nicaragua made La Vencedora. La Vencedora is a Nicaraguan Puro with a Habana Oscuro wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The Churchill is Americanized in size, it’s 7″ x 50, which is OK by me, it’s like a toro, only an inch better. It’s a medium-plus cigar, with some dark sweetness and some spice.… Continue reading »

PDR Cigars 1878 Capa Madura and 1878 Roast Cafe Dark Roast

Last Wednesday I brought you the Capa Oscuro and the Natural Roast cigars from PDR, this week I’m writing about the 1878 Capa Madura and the 1878 Roast Cafe Dark Roast. I find it a bit difficult when I receive a half dozen different cigars from a given company, I don’t really want to smoke them back to back and spend a week writing about the same brand, or one long post. I’m also at a point where I just need more variety and after a long day there are times I just want to smoke what I want to smoke!  Selfish of me, I know!  Anyway, this is another Wednesday PDR post. Last night I grabbed the PDR 1878 Capa Madura toro for my evening walk. Like I said about the Capa Oscuro, I’m sure I’ve smoked this before, but it’s been a while, and was probably in New Orleans. This Capa Madura is a Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro, with a Dominican Criollo 98 binder and Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo 98 fillers.… Continue reading »
