Here’s some news from the folks at Oveja Negra this morning. I love PA Broadleaf, and I have enjoyed this blend in the past! Looking forward to getting some of these.
Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is pleased to announce the shipment of BOONDOCK to select retailers this month. This is the third annual release of Boondock, hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.… Continue reading
I don’t get away much, but when an opportunity comes up to take a quick vacation and slip in some cigar stops, we have to take it! I’ve wanted to have a vacation where we just spend some time doing nothing but relaxing on a beach for years, and we spent a few days doing just that. Having a cigar on the beach in the morning was nice, although it was windy, which created some challenges! We stayed a block from the beach in Miami Beach, so it was a quick walk, and the water was warm! On Friday we took a drive and dropped in on Joe Gro at Drew Estate’s offices, which had an “out for lunch” sign on the door, which was initially disappointing, although we did just drop by. We were hoping to surprise CigarProp Kevin and Jessica there, but they ran ahead of schedule and left just before we arrived. We finally gained access and caught up with Joe, who gave us the tour. The warehouse there is enormous, loaded with racks of pallets of cigars. The offices are as you’d expect, decorated with all of the great DE swag. As I said, many were out to lunch, so it wasn’t buzzing with activity, but there were a few familiar faces there!… Continue reading
This is going to be a quick one as my wife and I are flying off for a few days of R&R. Thanks to everyone who entered the contest for their kind words and for coming back to read my nonsense over the years! When I first started writing here I never imagined people would read it and it was pretty much just my own amusement and a way to keep track of what I smoked. Who would have thought it would have become whatever it is now! So thanks to all of you who read it regularly and come across it in searches. There are hundreds of cigars and bunches of accessories discussed in these pages, and dozens of events. … Continue reading
Before i get started, don’t forget to go back to Wednesday’s post and enter the contest! It occurred to me (after I got a phone call from Danny Ditkowitch of La Sirena Cigars), that I should smoke a La Sirena Anniversario Especial cigar to celebrate, so I smoked another one of those this week and they are fantastic cigars! Check out my post from June here for the specifics about this outstanding cigar celebrating their tenth anniversary! La Sirena has been one of CigarCraig.com’s longest supporters and I’ve been a fan for even longer. … Continue reading
Since last week marked the tenth anniversary of the launch of CigarCraig.com, I figured it would be appropriate to mark the occasion by giving away some cigars from some of the supporters who have helped me along in the journey over the last few years. But before we get to that, here’s a little bit of the CigarCraig.com backstory for those who don’t know it. In 1996 I developed a passion for premium cigars and ran across a usenet group that talked about such things, alt.smokers.cigars. By 2006 I had grown weary of participating in that group, and the WWW had grown to more advanced avenues of discourse such as websites and forums and such. I never really got into forums, but in 2009, sensing my need to have an outlet to drone on about cigars, my wife set me up with the CigarCraig.com domain for my 46th birthday, and the rest is history. Now, ten years later, I still drown on about cigars, and, oddly, people read my droning. I’ve attended many IPCPR shows, a bunch of large and small events, and made a great many wonderful friends who I wouldn’t have met otherwise. My thanks goes to you, my readers, those who chose to waste your valuable time reading my nonsense!… Continue reading
