Tonight I was on the Round Panel on the Kaplowitz Media network of podcasts again, which was a free-form discussion of sorts. Give it a listen, my sole contribution seemed to be neighborhood dogs (or wildlife of some sort) bleeding in. My dogs were quiet, I promise. I enjoy the panel, taking part in it is something I enjoy, I’ll try to contribute more. I have I guest spot coming up next week on the Smokin Tabacco podcast. Look for that on Wednesday, February 17. I enjoyed a fairly old La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Tabaqueros 750, which was outstanding. I have to see if there are any more of the three packs at one of the local shops. Anyway, last night I smoked another cigar that I bought from Scotty’s Cigars, a Tatuaje The Michael Monster Series.… Continue reading

A La Sirena Dubloon Salomon Cigar
Once again, I haven’t been smoking newer cigars because I don’t really have a lot of newer cigars. I have some interesting older cigars, but I’ve still been having some dental struggles, so I’ve been holding off on those. I’ll probably get to one of o those this week. I sat in on a rare (for me) zoom herf with Pete Johnson and his crew last week for an hour or so of his record breaking 14 hour herf and smoked a Tatuaje HCS Maduro No. 1, which is a Holts Exclusive which I had picked up at Holts about 4 year ago.… Continue reading
Alec Bradley Project 40 Maduro Toro Cigar
I’ve been scrounging around for new cigars again, and I had bought some of the Alec Badley Project 40 Maduro Toros from Scotty’s Cigars a few weeks ago and figured I’d smoke a few ad see what they were all about. The Project 40 Maduro has a San Andrés wrapper, a Brazilian Habano binder and Nicaraguan fillers. The Toro is 6″ x 52.… Continue reading
Viaje Fifty Fifty Red Cigar
Here’s a throwback cigar for you. Back around 2011, I guess, Viaje came out with the Fifty Fifty, and it may have been one of the first cigars that brought the brand some recognition. This was supposed to have two distinctly blended cigars meshed together, as I remember it. It was a bit of a gimmick. At the time, I would have liked to have tried the cigar, but it wasn’t available around anywhere, and I wasn’t one to chance stuff like that down, nor was I spending the kind of cash they were asking for it. Times have changed some, I still don’t chase, but I don’t mind spending a little more on cigars now days. I picked this one up from Scotty’s Cigars recently, they seem to have some interesting cigars in their shop, as long as you get them on the phone. So I smoked this cigar this week, and, judging by the fact that I can still taste and smell stuff, I don’t think I have Covid.… Continue reading
Mavros Revolucionario Especial Cigar
Several weeks ago a gentleman named Manuel Mavroleon , the founder of Mavros Cigars in Mexico, contacted me and wanted to send me a sample of his cigar. I was intrigued, considering when I started smoking cigars back in the mid-90s, it was Te-Amos that were the cigars I started with. Don’t laugh, at the time, I really enjoyed the maduro Te-Amos, they were readily available, and my father-in-law, who was one of my early cigar mentors, was a fan of them. LIttle did I know that one day the wrapper one these much maligned cigars would be one of the most sought after wrappers. Te-Amos were Mexican puros, which may have been part of the problem amongst aficionados, they were extremely earthy and one dimensional. At the time Mexican cigar makers couldn’t import other tobaccos, so it was puros or nothing. Te-Amos were very popular, by the way. Anyway, I was intrigued by this, and I received one sample in the mail, from Mexico, presented in a small cardboard box. The cigar is called the Mavros Revolucionario Especial… Continue reading
