I know, you’re saying to yourself: “didn’t Craig just have a great contest a few weeks ago? Is he going back to his old ways?” Well, it just works out that a cool item came across my doorstep that I wanted to share with you guys, and why wait, but more on that in a bit. First, I made another visit to one of my local CigarCigars shops, this time the one in Berwyn, PA. Kameron is the manager there, and curates the Instagram account for the shop. I have been seeing his proclivity for pics of vanity license plates, so I figured there was one glaring omission from his collection and it was my responsibility to fill that void!… Continue reading

Smoking Some Favorites: Marchetti, Partagas, Don Carlos and Some Heavy Lighter Thoughts
I didn’t get into anything new and noteworthy this week, tending to fall back to some favorite cigars. I’ll throw some highlights out. I’ve raved about the Don Juan Calavera line from Danli Honduras Tabacos in the past (recently rebranding to DAHOT). The have a box pressed maduro cigar called the Marchetti, named after one of the factory owner’s mothers, that’s absolutely wonderful, and has become a favorite “go-to” cigar for me. Like the other cigars in the company’s portfolio, I never have a construction issue, they always perform well, and they flavor is right in my wheelhouse, cocoa, espresso, and on the high side of medium bodied. It’s just about what I’d make if I were putting my name on a cigar. If you can get your hands on some of these, I highly recommend them, and I know they are showing up in more places. Great cigars! … Continue reading
A Visit to Best Cigar Pub, Blackbird Cigar Co. Cigars and Video and Contest Winner
Yesterday I found myself wandering much further north in PA than I usually find myself. There was a seminar on Bees and Chickens that my wife and I attended, and I snuck off during the second half to do some of my own research. Twenty minutes away from the venue where the seminar was held happened to be the brand new Best Cigar Pub, and Best Cigar Prices headquarters. I figured this would be a good place to visit. Fortunately, the purchasing manager, Chris O’Neill, managed to arrange a tour for me. Katie (Katy? I forgot to clarify), the Finance/HR director, gave me a tour of the entire facility.… Continue reading
Danli Honduras Cigars Sampler Contest Extension!
Since I’ve had so much trouble this week that resulted in some significant downtime, as well as maybe some reluctance to visit due to the threat of infection, I figure it’s best to extend the contest until Sunday. Everything is cleaned up now thanks to an investment in SiteLock, lots of aggravation and communication with my host and the folks at Sitelock to get things cleaned up and back in business. So here’s the deal: There are 19 entries on the original contest post (here) I will combine entries there along with entries here (no duplicates please), and pick a winner on Sunday, February 16, 2020.… Continue reading
TPE 2020 Day 3: The Vape/Alternative Side Walk-Around and Contest Time!
I wanted to share with you the video walk through of the Vape/ alternative portion of the Tobacco Plus Expo. I’ll be honest, the first few times I ventured onto the blue carpet, I freaked out a little and made a hasty retreat to the safety of the red area. I supposed it validated my old-fuddyduddyness a little.
I’ve been threatening this for a while. As you well know, I’ve become a huge fan of Danli Honduras Tobacco’s cigars. It’s come to my attention that one of my local shops, Cigar Mojo in King of Prussia, PA, has started carrying the line. I have a feeling that Trae might have gotten the idea to bring them in from me, but I haven’t confirmed that. I need
everyone to call or e-mail Trae (610-564-2471 or@CIGAR-MOJO TRAE.COM) and order some Done Juan Calavera or Flor Maya cigars from him! You don’t even have to tell him I sent ya. Anyway, to celebrate another place to buy these great cigars in the US, I’m going to give some of mine away.
