Blackbird Glitch, Artista Colorado and Ferio Tego Metropolitan Cigars

I found a few more cigars in the pack from Smoke-Onos that I hadn’t smoked before and gave them a go this week.  First up was the Blackbird Cigars Glitch Habano.  This was a 5″ x 50 robusto with a Habano wrapper, Mexican binder and American and Dominican fillers, not that their website was any help with that info! … Continue reading »

Artista, PDR and Española Cigars

I’m struggling with it being August already!

More Big Sky Cigars, a Cuesta Rey and an Artista

I’ve been working my way through the Big Sky portfolio, this week I sampled the Madison and Bitterroot in the river series. The four cigars in this series, which include the Blackfoot and Bighorn that I discussed last week, are homages to to brandowners love of fishing those Montana rivers. I don’t fish, if I did I’d be happy just sitting, smoking a cigar and holding a pole, no need to be inconvenienced by actually catching anything.… Continue reading »
