Last week while I was out and about, I picked up a couple of the new My Father Fonseca robustos. I’ve been looking forward to trying this cigar for a while. It was a bit of a surprise when Quesada sold the Fonseca brand to My Father, and it took a year of two before My Father came out with their version of this iconic brand. I’ve personally smoked a bunch of Fonseca cigars over the years. I had a box of Havana Fonseca Cadet KDT many years ago that were really very nice.… Continue reading

All Saints Dedicación Cigars
Thursday evening I went to Cigar Mojo in King of Prussia, PA where they were having a cigar event revolving around the Masters. There was chipping and putting involved in a tournament with brackets and everything. The winner received a bottle of booze and a box of cigars. This was all sponsored by All Saints Cigars, and Mickey Pegg was there for the event. The cost of the event was $25 which included two cigars and food, but I decided instead to buy a bunch more cigars and pass on the food., I showed up two hours late anyway and had no intention of participating in the event really anyway, apart from smoking the featured cigars and meeting
Mickey finally.… Continue reading
HVC Black Friday 2020 Cigar
Sunday I took a little ride out to Havertown, PA to visit my favorite daughter, I am allowed to say that because I only have one daughter. She also has my favorite granddaughters, and I like to see them from time to time. Ironically, they live very close to the Wooden Indian, so I stopped by with the intention of picking up a few new to me cigars to smoke. The Wooden Indian is still operating under COVID restrictions, not government mandated, but out of concern for safety of employees and patrons. As Dave Mayer, the owner, will point out, the humidor provides a nice environment for a virus to live, so he doesn’t want people wandering in and out. Their lounge is open to their members, with a separate entrance, but the store is closed to the public. I pulled up and called.… Continue reading
Tabernacle Lancero, La Palina Pasha and El Titan de Bronze Redemption Maduro Cigars
My wife gave me a great idea for the end of the year which involves the cigar of the year and a contest, but I’m going to save that for Wednesday’s post. Today I want to talk about a few cigars that treated me right this week! the first of which was a Tabernacle Lancero from Foundation Cigar Co.. This was an older example, easily a few years old, probably from the initial run. I likely bought this at an event with Nick at the Wooden Indian. I also have an El Güegüense Lancero from the same event. It’s funny that the Tabernacle Lancero is 7” x 40 while the El Güegüense Lancero is 7 ½” x 40. I guess one factory has one mold and one has another.… Continue reading
News: Drew Estate Announces Cancellation of Barn Smoker Live Virtual Event
This is the last of my Wednesday news barrage, and sadly it’s bad news. I really don’t like posting bad news, and in retrospect, I should have put these in a different order, if only to make myself feel a little better. The silver lining is at the end of the press release, but we have come to expect this sort of generosity from the folks at Drew Estate. I have been to three of the Barnsmokers, and recommend them when life returns to normal.
Today Drew Estate announces the cancellation of the upcoming Barn Smoker Live virtual event, originally scheduled for November 14th, due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases throughout Florida.… Continue reading
