News: Black Works Studio Announces the Release of S&R

Here’s some news from Black Works Studio. This looks interesting, I enjoy most of what I’ve smoked out of Oveja Negra, and I love Sumatra wrappers, so this interests me. I’m not opposed to Lanceros and Corona Gordas either, and a Culebra sounds interesting, especially if I can find two friends to smoke it with! 

Black Works Studio (BLK WKS) is pleased to announce the upcoming release of S&R: Hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua at Fabrica Oveja Negra.  S&R will be available at select BLK WKS retailers for a limited time.… Continue reading »

News: Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas 2020 Announced

Partagas Limited Reserve Decadas is another cigar that I’ve really enjoyed over the years. I can remember smoking these years ago with the green band and loving them. This is one of the cigars that makes good use of the Cameroon wrapper over the years, and is underrated in that category.

News: Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask Released For Holiday 2020

In lieu of my regular Wednesday post I’m going to catch up on a few news items from the last few days in a barrage of posts. Lazy, I know, but it’s been a hectic few days. As the Diesel Whiskey Row Sherry Cask is a favorite of mine, I find this one to be particularly exciting.

Two More Providencia Cigars: Mixtape and G 5:22-23

Today starts my least favorite time of the year, Standard Time. I am not a fan of the winter months, and early darkness. I have gotten the back porch winterized, so that’s something, although I haven’t gotten my propane heaters working yet. They seem to be clogged on some way that I cannot seem to fix. It might be time to consider replacement. Are those kerosene heaters that were all the rage in the 70s still a thing? One of those would work well. The propane seems easier to deal with. Anyway, clocks are messed with, candy has been handed out, I still have to put the storm windows in the front door, but it’s time to come to grips with the unavoidable fact it’s not summer anymore. After the last 8 months, I think I could easily just hibernate and re-emerge next spring. I’ll have to soldier on. I will do so by enjoying fine cigars, and prattling on here about them. To that end, I smoked a few more from Providencia Cigars as promised.… Continue reading »

Providencia Detox and Boom Cigars

Ray at Providencia Cigars shared some of his new cigars with me recently, and I smoked two of them this week. I was intrigued by two of them in particular, the Detox and the Boom. Naturally I was drawn to the fact that they were both 6″ x 52 Toros, and they both had dark wrappers. When I looked at the blends, they both had San Andrés wrappers, Nicaraguan binders and fillers from Nicaragua, including Ometepe. All Providencia cigars are made in Honduras, and I have a fondness for some cigars made in Danli.… Continue reading »
