I stopped in a local shop Tuesday evening to meet up with someone who never showed! I guess I’ll catch up with
him the next time he’s in town. Anyway, I picked up a couple cigars, the first of which is is the Oz Family Cigars Maracana in the gordo size. This is the newest cigar from Oz, so new it’s not even on their website! Of course, Oz Family Cigars is Tim Ozgener’s brand, and this Maracana is his return to Brazilian tobacco.… Continue reading
We were going to take a roadtrip this weekend, but decided against it early in the week.

Anyway, I figured I’d smoke some cigars this week! … Continue reading
Last week I mentioned buying some cigars from Discount Cigar Warehouse, and I dug into the second sampler this week. This was a selection of 6″ x 56 cigars from Illusione.

I smoked two of the four this week, starting with the Illusione Maduro M12 Plan MJ-1949.… Continue reading
This is pretty interesting. Back when I first started smoking cigars in the ’90s one of the cigars I bought and kept around for special occasions was the Excalibur No. 1. This was a pricey cigar for me at the time at around $5, but I liked keeping a few around. It was, and is, a pretty large cigar, the same size as this new release, 7¼” x 54, which was a very large ring cigar for the time. I eventually progressed to the Excalibur Maduro. Any time Dion has his hand in a cigar, one can expect it’s going to be good, so I hope I get to try this, even if it’s four times the price of the Excaliburs I remember!
Excalibur will roll out its first collaboration next month with The Illusione of Excalibur, a limited-edition blend that marks the first Excalibur to be made in Nicaragua.… Continue reading
