Some Firecracker Cigars and a Rocky Patel Thirtieth Anniversary

I hope everyone made it through the Independence Day holiday unscathed.  We had some wicked thunder storms roll through right around sundown yesterday which knocked our power out until about 2am.  In honor of the holiday, I smoked the range of United Cigars Firecracker cigars.  These are little cigars, 3½” x 50, with a long “fuse” pigtail cap.… Continue reading »
