I’m super late to the party on this first cigar. In the past I’ve only had the Micallef Black and Blue, with the Black being my favorite of the two. I found a Micallef Red toro in the humidor and it piqued my interest. This 6″ x 52 toro has a Mexican San Andrés Habano wrapper, a Broadleaf binder and Nicaraguan, Mexican fillers, it’s right up my alley! … Continue reading
Last week I mentioned stopping at New Tobacco Village in Whitehall, PA and picking up some cigars. I took a chance on two of the cigars, the La Aurora 115th and 120th Anniversary cigars.… Continue reading
Don Doroteo came on the scene a few years ago, seemingly out of nowhere. I probably wouldn’t have heard of them if not for a friend (who’s presence in cigar media I miss), who went from brobering for them, to working for them, to stepping away from the cigar industry altogether.

Happy New Year and welcome to the 12th year of CigarCraig.com. Hopefully everything keeps going on the same as it has been for the past 11! I hope everyone had safe and healthy celebrations on New Years Eve, I fell asleep on the couch after smoking a really good cigar. I dug to the bottom of one of the rarely ventured into humidors and found a Havana Romeo y Julieta Tubed Churchill that has been there for well over a decade that was simply sublime. I figured with everything happening in the world it was as good a time as any to smoke this cigar. It was floral and woody (cedar sleeve in the tube, ya know), burned perfectly and was absolutely wonderful. I find that I’m more often than not disappointed by Havanas lately, but this older cigar was exceptional. I have a few very old Havanas in the humidor yet, I hope they provide a similar experience. … Continue reading
