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 »

Villiger La Libertad: Old Versus New

As I was writing my last post, and as I alluded to as I wrapped that post up, I received word that my place of employment for the last year would be closing it’s doors and I would be, once again, embarking upon another career change.  This last year was a totally different job for me, and a whole new group of skills to add to my resume, so hopefully that opens some new doors for me in the near future. I am in a much better place psychologically this time than I was a year and a half ago when I found myself in a similar position. Today is my last day, so it’ll be a little rough, but a new beginning, again. I appreciate everyone’s positive thoughts.  … Continue reading »

Vicarias Cigars: White, Red, Black and Blue

When I was in Miami last month I had the pleasure of meeting a gentleman named René Cardona, who happens to rep Tre J Cigars. His position within the cigar industry had nothing to do with my meeting with him, he is part of a group of folks I’m acquainted with through a Facebook group which is made of some folks I know personally, some long time readers as well as friends I haven’t met yet.  I was honored to meet René while I was there, and he ended up sending me a sampler of the Tre J range, which I smoked  through the Vicarias line this week. I still have to get to the Invictus, I just ran out of time. I’ll get to it in the next couple days.… Continue reading »
