Another month down, the last three months have flown by, it’s getting to be the time of year that things can just slow down a little! I could stand for the summer months to not pass by so quickly! My friends at Best Cigar Prices recently advertised some ridiculous deals on some five packs, and I was surprised to see some Ortega Cubao Esteli cigars listed. I have a soft spot for Ortega cigars, going back to the early days… Continue reading
I was poking around one of the humidors and realized I’d smoked a few Cubao Cameroon Churchills from Ortega Cigars and never mentioned them here. Eddie is still making some great cigars, he’s using the TACASA S.A. factory. This cigar has a Cameroon wrapper, like the name suggests, Indonesian binder and Nicaraguan fillers. … Continue reading

I started out with the Jalapa Habano… Continue reading
As I mentioned in my Sunday post, Ortega Cigars is a new partner on the site. I purchased the sampler that’s featured in the ad that’s running currently, and it arrived promptly. It’s an amazing deal, I almost feel guilty recommending it, as it must be a big losing proposition. Anyway, Like I said before, I’ve known Eddie Ortega for many years. I believe I met Eddie at a local shop here when he had a 601 La Bomba Event, back when they were made by Pepin Garcia. It was about ten years ago because my then 21 year old son was with me and he had his first taste of Zacapa rum courtesy of Eddie.… Continue reading
