Review: OpusX Pussy Juice

Editor’s Note: I make the following warning, the above is the name of the cigar. if you are reading this on a work computer, think about it. If you are on a computer with kids, think about it. If not, get ready for a review of a cigar that most have never heard of, perhaps [...]

Review: OpusX ForbiddenX 13 God’s Whisper 1924

Today is a review of yet another one of the ForbiddenX 13 releases, or Forbidden 13. The God’s Whisper 1924 is perhaps the most intriguing of the six releases because it is by all accounts erroneously listed in the Fuente price list. As Brooks noted in his review of the OpusX ForbiddenX 13 Nacimiento 1912, the [...]

Review: OpusX ForbiddenX 13 Nacimiento 1912

For those of you that don’t know… Midway through December of 2011, some interesting boxes of Fuente products started showing up at various stores across the country with nearly no forewarning at all. Almost nothing was known about these cigars when they were released and people on the boards and Twitter had a field day [...]

Weekly News (February 7, 2011)

There’s a much different style to the news, okay sort of… A few stories are still in paragraph form, but most will be in bullet points to try to make the whole story easier for you to read. Don’t get me wrong, I love comments – but, I never ask for them. I love hearing [...]

Weekly News (December 13, 2010)

Apologies for the lack of reviews recently, things have been hectic, but normalcy should return this week. As a few of you know, I was in Atlanta this past week for Buckhead Cigar Club’s Tweet-Up. One half of Tiki Bar Online and Stogie Review were represented, along with a few of the more popular cigar [...]
