Southern Draw Evening Primrose, a New Diamond Crown Maximus and Warped Sarto Cigars

A few weeks back I happened to be. driving through Langhorne, PA and happened to see Cigar Phoenix, which is a relatively new chain of two stores in the Philadelphia suburbs.  This is owned by Scott Atkinson, who bought out a few of the Cigar Cigars stores, in which he had an ownership stake.  You may remember Scott from the wildly popular cable access show “Cigar Time” (available on YouTube). Anyway I needed a break, so I stopped in to check out the shop.… Continue reading »

I selected an interesting batch of cigars to feature this week.  The first two I bought from 2 Guys Cigars, who held their 40th anniversary festivities this weekend.  One of these days I’ll make it back up there for a visit.  I actually had a bad dream last night about moving to New Hampshire, we bought a run down house and I was against moving north, if I ever move, it won’t be north! … Continue reading »
