News: Diesel to Release Fool’s Errand

I like a lot of the Diesel cigars, as a matter of fact, I smoked an Unholy Cocktail just last night. I think that was the first Diesel. There’s been a few here and there that I wasn’t fond of, the original Whiskey Row I didn’t get, for instance, but I really like the Sherry Cask. I look forward to giving this new series a shot.

Diesel will roll out a new trilogy that blends storytelling, interactivity, and cigar mastery in one. Called ”Fool’s Errand,” the new, limited edition release will ship to retailers on April 1.… Continue reading »

Smoking Some Black Label Trading Co. Gordos

Friday evening I picked up a selection of Black Label Trading Company cigars in the 6″ x 60 size. I actually don’t mind the 6″ x 60 format, it’s not my go-to, but I don’t shy away from it.

News: CAO Presents Pilón Añejo

Here’s some news from General Cigar about a new CAO cigar, which is interesting since Rick Rodriguez recently announced that he will be retiring after 22 years with the company.  I’ve known Ricky for a long time, although I never get a call when he’s in the area, like right now!  I’d love to have gotten to see him one last time. Maybe he’ll stop by Son’s tomorrow night, but I somehow doubt it.  I’ve liked a lot of what he’s done with CAO, and I think his contributions will be missed, to the point where I wonder what will become of the line. I enjoy the Pilón line, I look forward to trying this aged version, especially up against some old Pilóns I have in my humidor! … Continue reading »
