There was a lot of news last week, and I didn’t get to most of them, but one I wanted to touch on was from Scandinavian Tobacco Group, STG, owner of General and Forged Cigars and. Cigars International. The press release was announcing an exclusive with Southern Draw, but what I found interesting was that this was the first time I had heard of Cigora,… Continue reading

TPE2022: Epic Cigars and Nat Cicco Cigars
Here’s another little video from last week’s Tobacco Plus Expo. I hadn’t seen Dean Parsons for a while, since he sold his company to Nat Cicco and went to work for them. I also had never smoked a Nat Cicco cigar until just tonight. I selected the Liga No. 4 in the Aniversario 1965 line.… Continue reading
An Epic Habano Lancero, a Havana Q and Cigar Socks
Earlier in the week I was hunting around for something to smoke and I took a rummage through the lancero section of the humidor and came across a couple Epic Habano Lanceros. I have a handful of Epic Lanceros I’ve picked up over the years, and really enjoy them. They are made in the same factory in the DR that makes Kristoff cigars, who really isn’t known for that vitola, although I think they do have a few.… Continue reading
A L’Atelier La Mission 1959 and Other Various Cigars
I had ordered a A L’Atelier La Mission 1959 from Scotty’s Cigars last week (unfortunately they only had one left in stock or I would have gotten more), and I’ve been trying to smoke some of the cigars on Cigar Aficionado’s list that I hadn’t smoked before. I must have smoked another La Mission somewhere along the line before, as I found a band while wading through thousands of bands for my wife who is working on a cigar band table project. More on that as it nears completion. I will say that going through all the bands I’ve saved it’s pretty amazing to see what cigars I’ve smoked. Some I don’t remember! I find a band and think, what the hell is this?… Continue reading
An Epic Maduro, A Cohiba and a Couple of Joyas and a Rant
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. Early in the week I dug deep in the humidor and pulled out one of the original Epic Maduro Double Coronas from my stash of
Epic cigars. I knew it was an old one because it only had the Epic band, no second band with the “maduro” designation.… Continue reading
