Villiger TAA, Punch and Partagas Cigars
I was going through some of the newer cigars I have and realized there was one I hadn’t written about yet, but more on that in a bit. I want to start off talking about the new Villiger TAA Exclusive for 2022. This
cigar is interesting for a couple reasons. Foremost, it’s made at Espinosa’s La Zona factory. Villiger has been making cigars with a lot of different companies, Joya de Nicaragua comes to mind, as well as having their own factory in Brazil.… Continue reading
Upmann, CAO and Black Label Trading Co. Cigars and a Rant
There seem to be few cigars in Altadis portfolio that fit my preferences. I probably say this every time I post about an Altadis cigar, and it probably doesn’t endear me to the marketing folks there!

Fernandez.… Continue reading
News: CAO Presents Pilón Añejo
Here’s some news from General Cigar about a new CAO cigar, which is interesting since Rick Rodriguez recently announced that he will be retiring after 22 years with the company.

I enjoy the Pilón line, I look forward to trying this aged version, especially up against some old Pilóns I have in my humidor! … Continue reading
Holiday Weekend Cigars and the Big Contest Winner!
I hope everyone had a nice holiday, it was another quiet one around here. We prepared a nice feast and delivered some food to Mom and our daughter’s family, remaining socially distant. I tend to smoke some good
stuff around the holidays, and more times than not, my version of “good stuff” is classics. In this case I smoked an Ashton VSG Belicoso #1 on Christmas Eve. I’ve been nursing a box of these for a few years and they are extremely delicious. Every time I smoke one I am reminded of how much I like them and could smoke them
all the time.… Continue reading
