Thursday evening my wife had a thing she wanted to go to in New Jersey, and she found a cigar lounge three miles away I could visit! It turned out that Belvedere Cigar Lounge in Lawnside, New Jersey, was hosting Irving Rodriguez of Epic Cigars doing a cut and light event. I know Irv, and I love Epic Cigars, so it was a no brainer. Honestly, it wouldn’t have mattered, the lounge is really nice. … Continue reading

Sampling the Casa Cuevas Core Line Cigars
Somewhere along the way last week I saw a Casa Cuevas post about something, and Dustin Prudhomme of
Discount Cigar Warehouse (not a sponsor) mentioned having a sampler, so I ordered one, along with some other goodies. I’ve found that this is a great place to get cigars quick and at a good value. The sampler had one each of the core line, and a La Mandarria in toro size. I, sadly, don’t find the Casa Cuevas line locally, so I have limited experience, although I have smoked many cigars made by them over the years.… Continue reading
Smoking Through a Cain Cigar Sampler
Last week I was auditing some of my advertising partners (OK, that’s a euphemism, I was shopping…), and I picked up a couple Cain samplers from CigarThief.

I then have to worry about where to put the stuff later. In this case it was the five cigar sampler of Cain cigars from Oliva. It arrived the next day.… Continue reading
More Ortega Cigars: The Jalapa, M3 and Cubao
I worked on finishing off the Ortega sampler that I ordered, so far I have my favorites, and I still have the Serie D Connecticut yet to smoke (I’ll probably smoke it today). I found a Cult cigar from a few years ago in my humidor which is made at the same factory which I may smoke later as well. The Cult cigars were made for Quality Importers, where, ironically, Eddie Orega spent a short time working, which may explain his association with the TACASA factory. I started out with the Jalapa Habano… 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
