A Providencia Shenanigans Cigar and a Fundraising Raffle

I’m back after a few days of smoking some favorites out of the humidors. I found a few old Joya de Nicaragua Antaño Dark Corojo El Martillos with the old bands, the first one I lit up just wasn’t drawing right, which irritated me. Usually I work my way through, but I wasn’t willing to aggravate myself on that particular day, so I set down
the cigar after fighting with it for a third of the cigar, ran an errand, and came home and lit another one, and enjoyed the crap out of it. This has been a cigar I’ve been a fan of for a decade. I can remember smoking one of these when I first toured the Joy de Nicaragua factory in 2011, and with the heat and humidity there that day, I had to put it down or become overwhelmed.  It’s a powerful smoke. I love it. I still have a few of these with the old band, and a few with the new.… Continue reading »

JFR and Vintage Rock-A Feller Cigars

Among the many cigars I’ve been smoking this week, I smoked a couple of cigars that were handed to me at the  TPE show back in January, when life was relatively normal. Normal being relative, at the time, I was still jobless, although I thought I might have an opportunity in the works. Sadly, that opportunity fell through, although who’s to say what would have happened as the months passed. Anyway, as I’ve been self-medicating with premium tobacco, I’ve been searching for a new cigar here and there to include in a post, and I selected a cigar that Terence Reilly handed me while I was visiting with him at the Aganorsa kiosk.… Continue reading »

Another The Clown, Martinez and Platinum Nova Cigars

Funny thing, I’ve been on a two cigar a day thing this week, which is more than normal. It’s not like my schedule has really changed too much, but it’s psychological, I suppose. I’ve been taking an afternoon and evening walk when possible, just to get out of the house for a little bit. I also haven’t been smoking many new cigars, which doesn’t give me a lot to talk about here. Follow my Instagram (or Facebook) feed to see what I’ve been smoking and feel free to interact with me on those platforms. A few of the cigars I smoked this week I feel like talking about, first of which is The Clown. This is the latest cigar from Danli Honduras Tabacos, the little Honduran company that I’ve been enamoured with over the last year. This is the company which make the Don Juan Calavera, Flor Maya and Marchetti cigars which have become go-to cigars for me.… Continue reading »
