News: Diesel Sunday Gravy Grappa Announced

I’ll admit, I’m behind on sampling the Sunday Gravy series. The first one was pretty good, and I’ve been meaning to revisit it. I don’t think I’ve seen any of the others. I’m not a big fan of tomatoes, so that gets into my head a little, and, subconsciously, I don’t tend to look for them. A sampler would be nice, now that there are five versions!

I’m hopeful that everyone involved makes the most of this opportunity! 

Scandinavian Tobacco Group (STG) announces today that the company has acquired the Room101 cigar brand from Matt Booth and has retained Booth as creative director.… Continue reading »

News: La Gloria Cubana Launches New Serie S Line

Of course, I’ve been a La Gloria Cubana fan since I started smoking cigars back in the mid-90s. Sure, there’s a few here and there that I don’t care for, but for the most part I enjoy the line. I have one desktop humidor dedicated to the brand, wild, huh? This one sounds like it’ll be right up my alley, taking me back to my first days of smoking cigars, La Glorias and Mexican tobacco!

La Gloria Cubana will debut a new, full-time collection next month. Named “Serie S,” the line marks the first time a Mexican wrapper will be featured in a La Gloria blend.… Continue reading »
