Friday I posted the press release from Black Label Trading Company about the exclusive cigar that they were doing for Fox Cigars in Arizona. What should appear at my door on Saturday but a surprise box from Fox with a bundle of these cigars! I’ll be honest, I was planning to order some from them as soon as they became available anyway! Of course, Fox Cigars is an advertising partner here, but I still buy cigars from them, they are on my preferred vender list, they do a great job.… Continue reading

Providencia Bank Shot, The Essential and Straight Fire Cigars
Providencia Cigars seems to make a lot of Limited edition, small batch releases, in addition to their excellent core line. Ray Zinar keeps me up to date on them, by the way, he has roots in the South Jersey, Philly area, it’s on my bucket list to meet up with him. Most of these cigars are made in the Flor e San Luis Factory in Esteli, while the core line is (or at least was) made in Honduras.… Continue reading
Providencia Moonwalk, Boombox and Game Over Cigars
For those of us who came of age in the 80’s, there were some things that defined the era. MTV played videos 24/7, it was like a radio station on TV. Our version of portable music was large radios with cassette decks and D cell batteries, then the walkman. Video games were in arcades and required quarters and mostly standing up. Times have changed. The guys at Providencia Cigars remember these times, as I do, and created some limited edition cigars to commemorate that decade. I still need to get together with Ray, either in person or via video chat, to compare notes, we share some common ground, I managed a record store, he was in the home video business, we are the same age more or less. He was kind enough to share some cigars with me again.… Continue reading
Two More Providencia Cigars: Mixtape and G 5:22-23
Today starts my least favorite time of the year, Standard Time. I am not a fan of the winter months, and early darkness. I have gotten the back porch winterized, so that’s something, although I haven’t gotten my propane heaters working yet. They seem to be clogged on some way that I cannot seem to fix. It might be time to consider replacement. Are those kerosene heaters that were all the rage in the 70s still a thing? One of those would work well. The propane seems easier to deal with. Anyway, clocks are messed with, candy has been handed out, I still have to put the storm windows in the front door, but it’s time to come to grips with the unavoidable fact it’s not summer anymore. After the last 8 months, I think I could easily just hibernate and re-emerge next spring. I’ll have to soldier on. I will do so by enjoying fine cigars, and prattling on here about them. To that end, I smoked a few more from Providencia Cigars as promised.… Continue reading
Providencia Detox and Boom Cigars
Ray at Providencia Cigars shared some of his new cigars with me recently, and I smoked two of them this week. I was intrigued by two of them in particular, the Detox and the Boom. Naturally I was drawn to the fact that they were both 6″ x 52 Toros, and they both had dark wrappers. When I looked at the blends, they both had San Andrés wrappers, Nicaraguan binders and fillers from Nicaragua, including Ometepe. All Providencia cigars are made in Honduras, and I have a fondness for some cigars made in Danli.… Continue reading
