I smoked a few more new cigars this week, but I’ll revisit them another time because I was less than impressed with them. It’s not that they were bad, it’s just that either they needed more time, or weren’t the ideal size. I’ll get back to them eventually. I was really impressed with the Rojas Unfinished Business. I see where Rojas has been
celebrating the grand opening of their factory in Esteli, I know a few people that were there. I’ve really enjoyed the recent Rojas cigars I’ve smoked.… Continue reading

A New Rojas and a Couple More PDR Cigars
A Couple PDR Cigars and a Las Calaveras
I’m working on something a little different, should be announced any day now. I found myself with more gear from the Barnsmoker than I know what to do with, so I’m going to have a fundraiser raffle for a worthy charity. I’m still working out the details, but the prizes are pretty cool. I felt the need to do something more than just the usual pick a random comment giveaway. We’ll see how it goes, stay tuned. I did manage to smoke some cigars this week, funny that there were several that I just didn’t enjoy, but here are a couple highlights!… Continue reading
PDR and German Engineered Cigars
Welcome to Post number 1601! I’m not sure if that’s a milestone, but I noticed that I had made 1600 posts over the course of the last 13 years (officially at the end of the month, but close enough!), and that seemed like something worth mentioning. That’s 123 post per year, or 10 per month. I know it’s not Coop or Halfwheel, but I think it must show some level of dedication, right? Anyway, naturally I celebrated by smoking some cigars.… Continue reading
A few More PDR Cigars and Some Villiger News
Let’s see, what do I want to talk about today? I’ve been stuck working weekends and evenings a lot, so I’ve been kind of slacking on smoking the newer stuff, plus i don’t have a great many new cigars to smoke around. Earlier this week I reeved a news release from Villiger Cigars that I wanted to share, but I had just posted the contest on Wednesday, and wanted to leave it front and center for as long as possible. So I figured I’d enjoy a Villiger cigar Friday evening, and selected a La Vencedora Churchill since the only La Flor de Ynclans I had were the mis-named Lancero, and I couldn’t find them! I wanted a longer smoke anyway, and I enjoy the Joya de Nicaragua made La Vencedora. La Vencedora is a Nicaraguan Puro with a Habana Oscuro wrapper and Nicaraguan binder and fillers. The Churchill is Americanized in size, it’s 7″ x 50, which is OK by me, it’s like a toro, only an inch better. It’s a medium-plus cigar, with some dark sweetness and some spice.… Continue reading
PDR Cigars 1878 Capa Madura and 1878 Roast Cafe Dark Roast
Last Wednesday I brought you the Capa Oscuro and the Natural Roast cigars from PDR, this week I’m writing about the 1878 Capa Madura and the 1878 Roast Cafe Dark Roast. I find it a bit difficult when I receive a half dozen different cigars from a given company, I don’t really want to smoke them back to back and spend a week writing about the same brand, or one long post. I’m also at a point where I just need more variety and after a long day there are times I just want to smoke what I want to smoke! Selfish of me, I know! Anyway, this is another Wednesday PDR post. Last night I grabbed the PDR 1878 Capa Madura toro for my evening walk. Like I said about the Capa Oscuro, I’m sure I’ve smoked this before, but it’s been a while, and was probably in New Orleans. This Capa Madura is a Brazilian Arapiraca Maduro, with a Dominican Criollo 98 binder and Dominican Criollo 98 and Nicaraguan Criollo 98 fillers.… Continue reading
