The snow is very slowly melting off, VERY slowly! It’s been three weeks since we’ve seen the lawn. I definitely need to be on a warm beach smoking cigars this time of year. Since that isn’t in the books, we decided to go have lunch last Sunday at the Tommy Bahama Marlin Bar in the King of Prussia (PA) Mall. I have been itching to get my paws on the Trinidad x Tommy Bahama Island Collection cigars that came out late last year.… Continue reading
Friday evening I attended an event, sort of. Goose’s Montecristo Lounge in Limerick, PA hosted the Altadis USA Know Your Wrapper Series event, both in their lounge and virtually. They probably had 15 or so people there in the lounge, which is spacious, no worries there, and a few of us attending virtually.… Continue reading
I was out over the weekend looking for some specific cigars and couldn’t find them, so, being me and all, I couldn’t walk out of a cigar shop empty handed, so one of the cigars I picked up that was new to me was the Trinidad Espiritu No.2 in the Toro size. They had the Magnum and Robusto as well, but I like Toros, so that’s what I got! I’ll admit, there aren’t a great many cigars in the Altadis portfolio that I get excited about, but I’ve found in the last few years, the cigars that have been made in collaboration with A.J.

Let’s talk a about a couple of completely different cigars! Yesterday I was out and about and I decided to stop in my local shop on the way by and see if they had anything new. There are shops in the same chain a few miles east and west that would probably have a better chance of finding newer stuff, but I had been running errands for a while and was tired of driving around. The only thing that struck me as new (judging by the self talker that said “new arrival”, which may or may not have actually been “new”), was the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua.… Continue reading
I haven’t gotten to anything new in the second half of the week, I went with some standards. I smoked a Mi Querida Ancho Larga, and whenever I smoke one of these I can’t be happier. This cigar is just about as good as it gets. I have
a Unicorn in my humidor that I’m kind of saving for when I finally land that next job, but when I smoke a Mi Querida it’s hard for me to imagine how the Unicorn could be that much better! It hits my palate just right. I had the Ancho Larga (might have been my last one), and an Umbagog in my hand and went for the Mi Querida, but the Umbagogs are awesome too. I also went with another favorite, the Don Juan Calavera, this time the Connecticut. This is among my favorite Connecticuts because it has a very rich flavor and doesn’t have any grassy flavors that one finds in some shade wrapped cigars.… Continue reading
