I always enjoy talking to Luis Cuevas, so I’ll hunt him down at the PCA show if nothing more than to say hello and pay my respects. I always come away feeling like we are old friends after seeing him. Good dude, and really important family in the cigar world. T his looks like an interesting cigar! Casa Cuevas Cigars announces the release of the “Sangre Nueva” cigar brand at the 2022 PCA taking place in July at the Sand… Continue reading
Gran Habano announces the release of the 20th Aniversario, a cigar celebrating an incredible milestone in the family business. The inspiration for making this cigar was drawn on the first chapter of the Gran Habano story: El Sueño (the dream), El Desafío (the struggle), and El Triunfo (the success). Gran Habano is thankful to everyone that believed in us and supported us along the way. The best is yet to come.… Continue reading
I’ll be honest, this is the first time I’ve ever heard of the Latitude Zero brand! I don’t closely follow CI anymore, so it may be all over their catalog for all I know, but this is in national distribution, through their wholesale company.

The PCA show is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I’ve decided to go after all. I’m actually going as a correspondent for another media site, so I’ll be doing a little double duty. I know I said I wouldn’t go again until media was invited, but I was going to be in town anyway, and couldn’t be there without spending at least a couple days at the show. I’ll only be there for Saturday and Sunday, so I’ll have to plan things carefully. So I figured I better smoke up some of the cigars I still have from the TPE show!… Continue reading
I’ll admit, I’m behind on sampling the Sunday Gravy series. The first one was pretty good, and I’ve been meaning to revisit it. I don’t think I’ve seen any of the others. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, so that gets into my head a little, and, subconsciously, I don’t tend to look for them. A sampler would be nice, now that there are five versions!
It’s a widely held belief that Italians wrote the book on eating and drinking. Food, libations and socializing are part of the culture and meals can stretch on for hours. Not for the faint of heart is grappa, an Italian-made digestivo made from the distillate of grape seeds, stalks and stems. The distilled spirit is enjoyed as a palate-cleansing firewater. And when the grappa comes out, things get interesting.… Continue reading
