A Powstanie Connecticut and a Few More RoMaCraft Cigars

This week I finished off the cigars that Mitch very generously shared with me (except for one, which is a favorite which may get smoked today!). Before that I’d like to share a little experience I had Tuesday.  We went to New York City to see a show, a revival of Spamalot, for which my wife got tickets for the preview for my birthday.  When she mentioned finding a cigar spot, the only place I had any interest in visiting was Paley Park, which is a private park on 53rd Street, between 5th Avenue and Madison Avenue.… Continue reading »

A Powstanie Wojtek and a Few RoMaCraft Cigars

Black last week, and smoked the West Tampa Tobacco Co. White this week. … Continue reading »

PCA 2022: Powstanie/Cigar Hustler with Mike Szczepankiewicz

Mike Szczepankiewicz of Cigar Hustler/Powstanie Cigars is another one of those guys in the cigar industry who’s a triple threat. Mike has a podcast, a store and a brand (the later two co-owned with his brother, Greg). I’ve known Mike for a few years and I find him to be a likable fellow. It’s nice when you find someone who has the same muscular physique (of course, I kid. I haven’t set foot in a gym since high school). … Continue reading »
