I got a bit of a late start on Bricktoberfest, thanks to our friends at UPS, and maybe the weather. Every year (at least for the last 6) the folks at J.C. Newman celebrate Oktoberfest (which runs from September 21 through October 6ish I think) with a special release of their Brick House cigar.… Continue reading

ATL and Luciano, Macanudo and West Tampa Tobacco Cigars
The highlight of the week for me was my interview with Marvin Samel (see video at the end of the post, or go back to the Friday post).

Please give it a watch and let me know what you think.… Continue reading

I do appreciate it though, especially when there are a bunch of cigars I hadn’t tried. The Casdagli Daughters of the Wind Pony Express was one of those cigars.… Continue reading
Some West Tampa Tobacco and Powstanie Cigars
I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do next week, be prepared for a simple post, or maybe I put something fun together for the holiday week! I have to work on that…anyway, I smoked some cigars that I found interesting this week. When I saw Rick Rodriguez at the Cigar Heritage Festival, he gave me two lanceros, I mentioned the West Tampa Tobacco Co. Black last week, and smoked the West Tampa Tobacco Co. White this week. … Continue reading
