SP1014 Black, Box Pressed Rebellion and American Bully Cigars

You know how you have some friends that don’t listen?   A few weeks back I send a few cigars to my friend Phil who  publishes the very creative ComedyCigarsMusic.com.  I wanted to get some of the Bariay 1492 cigars into some reviewer’s hands, and Phil came to mind.  He posted a review of the Red here.  I’ve been really impressed
with these cigars and want to get the word out.  Anyway, the package I sent came with the instruction that no reciprocity was required, or desired! … Continue reading »

Bariay 1492 Red and Black Cigars

Mi Querida Black and Muestra de Saka The Bewitched Cigars

At the PCA show I smoked both of these with Steve, but one really can’t get a good sense of a cigar in that environment.  Neither were the first cigar of the day, and both were smoked while chatting.  Of course, both cigar left me intrigued, and wanting to smoke them again under better circumstances. … Continue reading »
