I don’t usually pay any attention to the limited “Year of the whatever” cigars, and I find the branding of this particular line curious. Punch has its origins in the UK, I’m not sure why they’ve put together a Chinese food theme. The thing is, I like the cigars and the price is right, so I overlook the weird branding. They have been pretty darn good cigars. In other news, it looks like the Macanudo brand ambassador position is open, as Laurel Tilley is now with AJ Fernandez!… Continue reading
I was going through some of the newer cigars I have and realized there was one I hadn’t written about yet, but more on that in a bit. I want to start off talking about the new Villiger TAA Exclusive for 2022. This
cigar is interesting for a couple reasons. Foremost, it’s made at Espinosa’s La Zona factory. Villiger has been making cigars with a lot of different companies, Joya de Nicaragua comes to mind, as well as having their own factory in Brazil.… Continue reading

I had recently smoked my last Knuckle Buster natural, which had been recommended to me a while ago by a tobacconist. This had been a good recommendation, as I had found this to be a tasty smoke and had revisited it frequently. So I was excited to try the maduro version.… Continue reading
I had an interesting week, so I smoked some interesting cigars, at least to me. I had a situation which required fasting, so I smoked a Perla Del Mar Connecticut which was really quite good, and after breaking the fast, I had a Diamond Crown, keeping it in the family, and also fairly mild! But let’s start with the Aging Room Quattro Nicaragua in the Vibrato size.… Continue reading
