Two Tissue Wrapped Cigars: an El Rey del Mundo and a Room 101 Uncle Lee

Yesterday I had another one of my theme days. I have those every now and then, I’m weird that way. I find an odd common thread between two cigars, usually off the wall. In this case it was the presentation, tissue paper. I have very few cigars in my humidors with tissue paper wrapping.… Continue reading »

Paul Stulac Classic Phantom Cigar

A few months ago I ordered some cigars from Scotty’s Cigars and one of them was the Paul Stulac Classic Phantom. I had called the store and asked for some interesting singles, and this was one of the ones they suggested. I hadn’t had a Paul Stulac cigar in years,  as a matter of fact, I chose this one because I think the last one I smoked was called the Lord of Albany, and was named for Travis Lord, who… Continue reading »

An Epic Habano Lancero, a Havana Q and Cigar Socks

Earlier in the week I was hunting around for something to smoke and I took a rummage through the lancero section of the humidor and came across a couple Epic Habano Lanceros. I have a handful of Epic Lanceros I’ve picked up over the years, and really enjoy them. They are made in the same factory in the DR that makes Kristoff cigars, who really isn’t known for that vitola, although I think they do have a few.… Continue reading »

News: Macanudo Inspirado Introduces Brazilian Shade

Here’s some news from General Cigar about a new cigar in the Macanudo Inspirado line. I smoked the Inspirado Brazilian Maduro Toro last night and it’s a different maduro than I’m used to. It’s more savory than sweet, which is odd to me. Still a delicious cigar. This new one sounds interesting, I wonder how it will compare to the maduro, and to other shade cigars.

Macanudo will soon debut a new Inspirado collection featuring a rare Brazilian wrapper and a proprietary Cuban-seed filler, marking the first time these tobaccos have been used with Macanudo. Called Macanudo Inspirado Brazilian Shade, the limited-edition line brings together masterful blending with expert agronomy for a one-of-a-kind smoking experience.… Continue reading »
