Los Caidos, The Duke Cigars and a Charter Oak Habano and a Rant

Let’s just get past the fact that I slacked off on my Wednesday post and substituted two news pieces instead. Pure laziness on my part. I did smoke a few new to me cigars this week, so let’s focus on those here! First off was a cigar that was generously shared with my by my amigo Adam a while ago. This was a Los Caidos, which is made at Aganorsa and a dollar from each cigar goes to a charity to help the families of fallen police and firefighters. There are red and blue bands so the consumer can choose which department they wish to support, but both cigars are the same. It’s a tasty smoke, with some pepper spice, wood and earthiness. It burned well and provided a great smoking experience. If you bought these only to support the cause it would be OK, but you’d be getting a great cigar too. I think there’s a good message of unity on the band design as well. As always, thank you to Adam for sharing this with me!… Continue reading »

A Few A.J. Fernandez Cigars, a Pancetta and STFU!!! Thoughts

I smoked a few more of the A.J. FernandezA.J. Fernandez cigars that I had picked up last week at CigarCigars in Downingtown. I’ve managed to smoke a great many more cigars that are made by AJF for other people than under his own name, but I imagine that’s just a function of scale. The San Lotano was a cigar that I really enjoyed several years ago. The first one was the New World Puro Especiale Robusto… Continue reading »

All Saints Solamente Cigar

Most people probably don’t remember when Mickey Pegg was the VP of sales for CAO cigars before General Cigars acquired the company, but he’s back now with the brand All Saints Cigars. He also lives near me, although we still haven’t met, ,which I’m sure will amuse Kevin at Cigarprop. It’s s bit of a running joke between Kevin and I, because I’ve had had the great fortune to have met so many people in my cigar journey. He thinks I know everyone, but there are plenty of people I don’t know, and many more don’t know me 😁.  Anyway, meeting up with Mickey is on my list, we’ve discussed it, between the pandemic and schedules, we haven’t managed to make it work out. I did come across some All Saints Solamente cigars in a recent cigar shop visit and figured I needed to smoke some. … Continue reading »
