New England Cigar Militia 250 Years of Independence, Villiger 1888 and Room 101 Cigars

You know how sometimes I smoke with a theme in mind, and sometimes it just works out that way?  This time it was cigars with numbers in the name I guess.  Totally unintentional.  I’m starting out with a cigar from the New England Cigar Militia, which is a facebook group founded by Kevin Parow.… Continue reading »

Some Firecracker Cigars and a Rocky Patel Thirtieth Anniversary

I hope everyone made it through the Independence Day holiday unscathed.  We had some wicked thunder storms roll through right around sundown yesterday which knocked our power out until about 2am.  In honor of the holiday, I smoked the range of United Cigars Firecracker cigars.  These are little cigars, 3½” x 50, with a long “fuse” pigtail cap.… Continue reading »

I smoked both the Robusto and the Half Corona this week.… Continue reading »

Villiger Year of the Horse, HVC and Oscar Valladares Cigars

When I was at the Smoke-Onos a couple weeks back I saw my old friend René Castańeda and he gave me a Villiger Year of the Horse that’s only available in the Asian market.  The Year of the Horse is a 6″ x 52 torpedo with an Ecuadorian Habano oscuro wrapper,  a Mexican San Andrés binder and fillers from Nicaragua.… Continue reading »
