I’ve been beset with a head cold all week, adding insult to injury, of course. I did have a productive phone interview with a recruiter which could lead to something hopefully, so it wasn’t a wasted week. Having a cold like this messes with the taste buds, so after a few days of not even considering having a cigar, I broke the ice with something familiar to see where I stood. I grabbed a Nica Rustica El Brujito, which is a favorite. I know this cigar very well, so if my palate is skewed, I’ll know it smoking this cigar, and it was. It was still good, but tasted different. So I knew not to try anything new for a while, or at least to temper any expectations based on this information. This is important for you to know moving forward. … Continue reading

News: Fratello Cigars Announces Return of the DMV
A lot of news this week! That works well for me because I have the time and haven’t had a cigar in a few days! This time it’s my amigo Omar announcing another regional release with his DMV, which doesn’t stand for Department of Motor Vehicles, it stands for Delaware, Maryland and Virginia, locally known as DelMarVa, the region surrounding Washington DC, where the Fratello brand got it’s start. I know it says something different below, but I’m from PA, this is my interpretation! I could say that NASA falls under the Department of Motor Vehicles if I wanted…

News: Black Label Trading Co. Announces 2019 Santa Muerte
More news, still sick! I’m bummed that Mick Grant is no longer going to be the rep for Oveja Negra brands in our area, I like Mick a lot, but he and his wife have some personal goals, and I wish them the best with those.

News: Two from Drew: Fabian Leaving and 6×60 Fat Bottom Betty
I get to start out my joblessness with just about the worst head cold I’ve had in a very long time. So here’s some news out of Drew Estate. I was surprised that Fabian announced his resignation. He was the face of Acid and Larutan (nee Natural) cigars and the voice of their podcast for the last few years, and MC’d the Barnsmokers. I didn’t know him well, but he seemed like a pretty cool dude. I’m not sure where a guy like him fits into the cigar world other than where he was, but I’m sure he has a plan. Maybe Alec Bradley made him an offer he couldn’t refuse . As far as the second item, I am a fan of the Deadwood line, and would certainly smoke this Gordito without hesitation. … Continue reading
