News: Drew Estate Announces Return of Herrera Esteli Lancero

Oddly, I’m not as big a fan of the Herrera Esteli as many people. I love the Norteño, but the regular old Habano isn’t as interesting to me.That being said, I did enjoy the Lancero when it was around previously, and may still have one floating around in my hoard of lanceros. Read on about the latest Herrera Esteli Lancero:

A La Sirena LT, Some Other Great Cigars and A Rant Continuation

I’ve been fortunate to have either been picking some really great cigars lately, or really enjoying the cigars I’ve been smoking, or both!  I think I’ve been gravitating toward known sure things due to the winter blues, honestly, I smoked a couple favorites from Cornelius and Anthony this week, a Cornelius and a  Señor Esugars in Toro sizes just because I wanted to smoked great cigars on those particular days. Both times I was reminded of how much I really love the flavors in both those cigars, even though they are on opposite ends of the spectrum, they both satisfy me in different ways. I had a La Flor Dominicana Ligero Natural L400 that was spectacular as well, and a La Palina LP 02 that, while I still am not sure about the band and packaging, the cigar is awesome. Again, two completely different flavor profiles, but both delight my palate! Like I said, Everything tasted great to me this week!… Continue reading »

Nica Rustica Robusto and CAO Esteli TAA Edition Cigars

Friday I decided to pay a visit to my local shop, just two miles from my house. I don’t actually spend a great deal of time there. I go to events when they have them, I know the people there, and stop by from time to time, but I’m just not the guy who spends a lot of time hanging out in any cigar shop. Neighbors are often asking me why, when they drive by this particular shop at all hours of the day, mornings especially, the parking lot is always pretty full. My usual response is that there is a group of guys that hang out there, some retirees, some who set up their laptops and work from the lounge. So I figured since I had Friday off I’d go in for a smoke and hang out for a while. Since CigarCigars is a TAA shop, I decided to give the CAO Esteli TAA Exclusive a try. This is a 6″ x 54 Toro, and it is made in the Scandanavian Tobacco Group’s Esteli Factory, with a Nicaraguan Jalapa wrapper, Honduran binder and fillers from Dominican Republic and Nicaragua. … Continue reading »
