We just returned from a brief getaway to San Juan, Puerto Rico, where we spent a few days sitting on the beach and doing nothing else. I really had no plans to visit any cigar shops as I took plenty to smoke, but I ran across a couple shops and, of course, had to stop in. When I vacation my modus
operandi is to take favorite cigars that I know I enjoy and I’m confident that will perform well, I’m there to relax and I don’t want any surprises or disappointments!… Continue reading

Cigars on My Tropical Getaway and a Contest!
Merry Christmas and Contest Winner Announcement!
I meant to do this last night, but I smoked a yet to be released Paladin de Saka and it was so entrancing that I forgot! When these come out and you can scrape $30 together I highly recommend trying one. It’s a step up from the Sin Compromiso, so if you like those, you’ll love the Paladin. Anyway, it’s Christmas Eve, and besides having to get started on my shopping (I kid, I’ve been done for a week!), I need to select the winner of the CigarCraig Holiday Contest! … Continue reading
Contest! CigarCraig’s Holiday Giveaway
It’s time for a Holiday Giveaway! I know it’s nothing like the twelve and more days of giveaways we used to do, but it is what it is! Times change and we roll with it. So here’s this week’s giveaway! Last month Drew Estate announced the 20 Acre Farm on the Freestyle Live show, and they led with a cool kit that had three mystery cigars that turned out to be these cigars. They have recently started showing up in stores. Here’s your chance to get a couple without shelling out for them! … Continue reading
News: The 2021 Exclusive Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta Edition Coming to Barrister Cigars and Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop
Here’s some exciting news from Drew Estate. It’s exciting because Wooden Indian is one of my favorite places and it’s really cool that they have this excellent cigar. I have had the pleasure of smoking a couple, and will get down to the beautiful shop and pick up some of the new release, I hope. Speaking of Drew Estate, tonight at 7PM Eastern which is only short time away from publishing, they are having another one of their Freestyle Live Facebook Live events. They are teasing some new release announcements, so I’ll be tuning in to check it out.
The 2021 edition of Drew Estate’s Liga Privada Unico Serie Pancetta will soon be available exclusively at Wooden Indian Tobacco Shop in Havertown, Pa., and Barrister Cigars in Union, N.J. The cigar will be available at the two retail locations beginning on Oct. 1.… Continue reading
News: Drew Estate Announces Suspension of In-Person Events
I usually avoid posting negative news stories, but this one kind of hits home, since I was planning to attend the Connecticut Barn Smoker next week. More importantly, I continue to be impressed by the way Jonathan Drew cares about his staff and consumers, and takes these measures to protect them. Say what you want, but I’ve known JD for over a decade, and have first hand experience with him dealing with medical situations, he takes things seriously, and doesn’t fool around when it comes to the health and well being of those in his charge. When my son had a medical emergency in Esteli back in 2011 he was with us in the Esteli ER and wasn’t leaving until he knew everything was OK. I don’t know how I would have handled that situation without him. So as much as I am saddened to miss the Barn Smoker, I trust that it’s for the best. There will be another time.
Today Drew Estate announces the cancellation of its 2021 Barn Smoker season, as well as the postponement of DE25 (Drew Estate’s 25th Anniversary Celebration at Southfork Ranch in Dallas, TX) due to increasing health and safety concerns resulting from the rise of the COVID-19 Delta Variant, which continues to spread rapidly throughout the country. For the same reasons, effective August 14th, Drew Estate personnel will not attend any multi-vendor events, trade shows, and, until further notice, will not attend any Drew Estate In-Store Events in person (all of which we will seek to work with our retail partners to hold virtually for the time being).… Continue reading
