I’ve smoked a few of the new Punch Knuckle Buster Cigars recently and I have to say that I really like them. I had recently smoked my last Knuckle Buster natural, which had been recommended to me a while ago by a tobacconist. This had been a good recommendation, as I had found this to be a tasty smoke and had revisited it frequently. So I was excited to try the maduro version.… Continue reading

News: Red Meat Lover’s Club Presents Battleship, Beef and Bourbon for the Ship
This is a little different news item for me. I’ll be attending this event, and I’d love to meat (not a typo) some readers there. I know my friends Kevin and Jessica, of CigarProp and I’d Tap That fame, will be there too. Of course, Navy veteran Steve Saka will be there too exercising gluttony, something that is worth seeing. One of my old friends from the cigar Usenet group days served on the New Jersey, too, I’ve seen the ship several times and always wanted to get a closer look, so I’m looking forward to the event. Hunt me down if you’re going! … Continue reading
Upmann, CAO and Black Label Trading Co. Cigars and a Rant
There seem to be few cigars in Altadis portfolio that fit my preferences. I probably say this every time I post about an Altadis cigar, and it probably doesn’t endear me to the marketing folks there! I do have some friends there that are aware of my feelings. I keep trying though. There are exceptions, and I can pretty much count on enjoying anything Altadis produces in conjunction with A.J. Fernandez.… Continue reading
News: CAO Releases “Borealis” To Canadian Market
I would normally skip a press release like this, but there’s something important about this I wanted to point out. No offense to my Canadian readers, but they represent a fairly small portion of my readership. Notice the box and bands on this new CAO release below. Not pretty or very imaginative, are they? This is what’s known as “plain packaging”, and this is how cigars have to be packaged in Canada (and Australia, I believe). In Canadian Cigar stores the windows have to be blacked out and you can’t see the cigars before buying them. They all have to have this same, drab band and box. Imagine how easy it would be to counterfeit cigars like this? If we aren’t careful in the U. S., this is going to happen here. That would suck. I may never know how this CAO cigar is, maybe one of my Canadian readers will let us know! … Continue reading
