Casdagli, West Tampa, Powstanie and Punch Cigars

It was a pretty good week.  A bit ago I sent some cigars to a friend, who, despite my protests, reciprocated with a package.  People need to understand that I send out cigars without expectations!  I do appreciate it though, especially when there are a bunch of cigars I hadn’t tried.  The Casdagli Daughters of the Wind Pony Express was one of those cigars.… Continue reading »

News: Room101 Cigars Daruma Returning

Thankfully, the weather has cooperated here in PA, but there’s still a few more weeks of winter to go, so anything can happen. Anyway, I dug into the dwindling supply of Secret Santa cigars from Mitch (many thanks again!), and picked out this Anonymous, a perfecto which is one of the Smoke Inn Micro Blends, made by AJ Fernandez.… Continue reading »

News: STG Acquiring Alec Bradley Cigars

I didn’t see this coming, but if the amount of money I’ve seen is right, why wouldn’t Alan Rubin sell? I’ll be curious to see whether Alec and Bradley stay on for a little while, it wouldn’t surprise me it that was part of the deal.
