El Mago, West Tampa and Macanudo Cigars

This week we took a little trip up to the finger lakes region of New York State for a wedding.  There are ZERO cigar shops in that area, we were on the middle finger of the lakes, Seneca.  I was concerned that the Glamping property we booked was no smoking, but quickly cleared that up with the host, and I was able to enjoy some cigars at the firepit. We liked the glamping thing, although I can imagine it might be less attractive if the weather hadn’t been perfect!  Running to the bath house in the middle of the night in the rain would have been less than ideal.  We had a good trip. But you come here (I suppose) to read about cigars, and I smoked a few.… Continue reading »

Sobremesa Brulee Tapa Negra and New Partagas and Macanudo Cigars

When I saw Steve Saka a couple weeks ago at the Smoke-Onos he handed me a couple of his new Sobremesa Brûlée Tapa Negra, a shade cigar with a sungrown Nicaraguan Habano leaf covering the last couple inches of the cigar.

Powstanie Sumatra, West Tampa Barbershop and La Gloria Cubana Intención Cigars

It’s Memorial Day weekend, and it feels more like a rainy Thanksgiving!  Last week started with days in the 90s, we’re back in the 50s now.  That’s why I’m not enjoying a cigar while I type today!  Anyway, tomorrow is the day we remember all those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can do stuff like smoke cigars and live our lives. Thank you to all who’ve paid the price.  Anyway, I smoked a few new cigars this week. … Continue reading »

Casa 1910, SP1014 and Alec Bradley Thirtieth Cigars

I somehow chose three cigars with numbers in the names this week.  Purely unintentional, but maybe I should buy a lottery ticket?  Lets see, 19, two 10s, a 14 and a 30….how can we make that work?  It would be a stretch…nevermind, I’ll save my money.  I started out with the Casa 1910 Chuchillo Parado in a 5″ x 50 Robusto.… Continue reading »
