I found a few more cigars in the pack from Smoke-Onos that I hadn’t smoked before and gave them a go this week. First up was the Blackbird Cigars Glitch Habano. This was a 5″ x 50 robusto with a Habano wrapper, Mexican binder and American and Dominican fillers, not that their website was any help with that info! … Continue reading

I’ve been working with the folks at Fox for several years, and have featured a few of their exclusives, notably the Araposa Negra and Blanca made by Black Label Trading Co.… Continue reading

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving and had plenty to eat and adequate cigars! I took some along to the feast I attended, but it was too windy and cold to enjoy one, so I waited until I got home and enjoyed an Ashton VSG on the porch. I usually reach for a classic cigar of some sort on days such as this, and after spending over five hours in the car and a long day of eating, the VSG was a delightful end to a long day. Because of the holiday it was a slow news week, and I was lazy about a midweek post, so I slacked off this week. Let’s make up for it today.
