I started dipping in to the PCA show samples, and and one that caught my eye was the Dissident Bloc. This isn’t a new cigar, but it was one I hadn’t tried before. I spoke with Cyn and Josh Coburn, the new owners of the brand a the Oveja Negra booth. They seem to have a passion for the brand.… Continue reading

PCA 2022: Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars
I returned from the PCA show in Las Vegas with something unexpected, a positive Covid test. This is disruptive in so many ways, I’ll be missing this weekend’s PA Barnsmoker just up the road from me. Symptoms are pretty much cold-like for now, so I’m not overly concerned, I have a lot going in my favor as far as immunity goes. I have to take the rest of the week off work, which isn’t the way I wanted to use that PTO, but stuff happenes. Anyway, it’ll give me some time to share with you some PCA (Premium Cigar Association) content! In all the years I’ve been doing this, I haven’t gotten the chance to do a video interview with Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars. … Continue reading
Tatuaje T110 Limited Edition Broadleaf and Sumatra and a Southern Draw Lady Killer
I wasn’t even going to write about the Southern Draw Lady Killer, but I had a special request, so I figured what the heck. I had stopped in to Cigar Mojo on Sunday to buy some cigars I didn’t need. I had been looking for some Illusione CG:4 White Horse for the Diner en Blanc because of the whole white thing, I like to smoke something with “white” in the name of the cigar, and they had gotten some in, so I felt obligated to go buy some for next year. Now I have to remember I have them next year! Anyway, as I was checking out I spied the last two Southern Draw Lady Killers by the register and picked them up.… Continue reading
Tatuaje The Michael Monster Series Cigar
Tonight I was on the Round Panel on the Kaplowitz Media network of podcasts again, which was a free-form discussion of sorts. Give it a listen, my sole contribution seemed to be neighborhood dogs (or wildlife of some sort) bleeding in. My dogs were quiet, I promise. I enjoy the panel, taking part in it is something I enjoy, I’ll try to contribute more. I have I guest spot coming up next week on the Smokin Tabacco podcast. Look for that on Wednesday, February 17. I enjoyed a fairly old La Gloria Cubana Artesanos de Tabaqueros 750, which was outstanding. I have to see if there are any more of the three packs at one of the local shops. Anyway, last night I smoked another cigar that I bought from Scotty’s Cigars, a Tatuaje The Michael Monster Series.… Continue reading
Southern Draw 300 Hands and Tatuaje Mexican Experiment and ME II Cigars
Wednesday evening I finally got around to trying the Southern Draw 300 Hands Connecticut in the Piramides size. This is a 6 1/8″ x 52 figurado, a classic size, with a US grown Connecticut shade wrapper, a Peruvian binder and Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers. Like all Southern Draw cigars it’s made at the AJ Fernandez Factory in Nicaragua. The wrapper is on the darker side for a Connecticut shade, and I found the flavor to be less grassy than most cigars in that genre. It smoked very well and was a very enjoyable cigar, well priced, with proceeds going to help less fortunate people in Nicaragua. … Continue reading
