Sobremesa Brulee Tapa Negra and New Partagas and Macanudo Cigars

When I saw Steve Saka a couple weeks ago at the Smoke-Onos he handed me a couple of his new Sobremesa Brûlée Tapa Negra, a shade cigar with a sungrown Nicaraguan Habano leaf covering the last couple inches of the cigar. This is very similar to the Joya de Nicaragua Cabinetta, which was based on the old JR Cigars brand,  La Escepcion, I think, although I cannot confirm this memory!  I remember seeing the Cabinettas rolled at the Joya factory in 2011, and smoking the first lanceros there on that trip.… Continue reading »

A Few Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust Cigars That Were New To Me

I know, I’m behind on some of the new releases, it’s been a weird year.  Last month Harrisburg Beer and Cigars/BL Luxuries released a shop exclusive by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, the Kahn Alam.  I didn’t want to spring for a box, and probably would have been too late anyway.  I’m a  cheap bastid, Saka knows this.  There was a sampler available from BL Luxuries which included one of the Kahn Alam, and it also had a Sobremesa Solita Red, and a Red Meat Lovers Fritanga, which were on my list of new cigars to try. … Continue reading »

Red Meat Lovers Battleship New Jersey Meat and Cigars Event

Happy Father’s Day to everyone! Later today I will smoke an Esperanza Para Los Niños torpedo, a cigar which was my traditional Father’s Day cigar for the better part of 20 years, until I smoked the last cigar out
of the box I bought in June of 2000. An old friend sent me the better part of a box earlier this year so I could continue the tradition, after taking last year off. … Continue reading »

Holiday Weekend Cigars and the Big Contest Winner!

I hope everyone had a nice holiday, it was another quiet one around here. We prepared a nice feast and delivered some food to Mom and our daughter’s family, remaining socially distant. I tend to smoke some good
stuff around the holidays, and more times than not, my version of “good stuff” is classics. In this case I smoked an Ashton VSG Belicoso #1 on Christmas Eve. I’ve been nursing a box of these for a few years and they are extremely delicious. Every time I smoke one I am reminded of how much I like them and could smoke them
all the time.… Continue reading »
