Over the past year or so I’ve gotten to know, and become friends with, Phil from comedycigarsmusic.com. He produces some engaging content, using video, podcast, and written formats. I look forward to his “Phil Switch” and “1st and 15th” podcasts (the latter with Kaplowitz), for their entertainment value, although they are light on cigar content. It’s my understanding that the next 1st and 15th show may finally tackle the long awaited “Cigar 101” topic.… Continue reading

A Selection of Cigars: Hits and Misses
This is going to be a bit of a weird post. I, of course, smokes a bunch of cigars this week, and had some mixed results. I probably should follow the rule of not saying anything at all if you don’t have anything nice to say, but it’s not all negative. SOme of it is personal preference, some of it is something else. There are also some standout cigars that I’ve probably mentioned here before but merit repeating. Let’s start with the CAO Arcana Firewalker.… Continue reading
Divinus and Born To Be Wild Cigars from DAHOT, a Dias de Gloria and a Hawk
When I was at the TPE show and visited with Susana at Danli Honduras Tobacco (DAHOT), she gave me samples of two of their new offerings, the Divinus and the Born To Be Wild.

Some Blackbird Cigars and a Cigar Auction

get right to it! Wednesday evening I went to Cigar Mojo in nearby King Of Prussia, PA to an event featuring Jonas Santana of Blackbird Cigars.… Continue reading
News: Blackbird Cigar Co and Stogiebird Hatch New Blend
If ever there was a perfect partnership, it’s Blackbird and Stogiebird! It just makes sense! Of course, I’ve known Sam Leccia of Stogiebird for many years, and I met Jonas of Blackbird last year at the TPE. I’m looking forward to this becoming available, I’m almost tempted to subscribe, as subscription services have been on my radar lately. The problem is, I just can’t spend the cash to subscribe to all of the services I’d like to! Sam seem to be doing it right, as he always has! I have a small collection of cigars he’s had his hand in over the years, and I can’t wait to add this one!
Today, Blackbird Cigar Co announces the creation of their latest cigar the “Ruffed Grouse” made exclusively for Stogiebird. The Ruffed Grouse, named after the Pennsylvania State bird, is a four-country blend starting with a beautiful oily Habano wrapper around an Indonesia binder using grade A Criollo 98 and Pennsylvania long filler tobaccos.… Continue reading
