I had the great pleasure this week of sampling cigars from HDA, Hermanos de Armas. HDA is a Veteran owned company, and Hermanos de Armas means Brothers in Arms. The founders of the company, Zack (Airforce) and

I see where Rojas has been

I’ve started smoking some PCA show samples now that I feel fully recovered from the post-Vegas Covid situation. I started out revisiting the West Tampa Tobacco Co. Black and White.… Continue reading
