Review: Drew Estate “Double Signature Reserve”

For those of you that don’t know… The odds are that you have never heard of this cigar produced by Drew Estate, and the story behind it is one of the main reasons I decided to spend the time to review it… In 2009, the (then) owner of Tobacco World in Atlanta, Georgia, Robert Wachtel, [...]

Contest: Christmas (2010)

I just (this moment) realized that it is almost Christmas, and as I look around the web, I see a bunch of sites posting Christmas contests, and they are all offering boxes of cigars, or grab bags, or what have you…Now, I am not one to follow what other people do (other then the fact [...]

Review: Zino Château (Prerelease)

Last month, I was reading online and saw this blog post detailing a prerelease of a new blend in the Zino line of cigars, dubbed the Zino Château… The press release says it better then I ever could, so here is a portion of it for your perusal: The new blend features an Ecuadorian-grown, Connecticut-seed [...]

Review: Illusione ~hl~ (Candela)

Review: Graycliff Double Espresso

I was reaching WAAAAAAAY back in the back of one of my Vinotemps, and came upon a bag of these from WhoKnowsVille. I don’t remember buying them, or trading for them, so perhaps CigarSanta™ brought them at some point in the past. Anyway, I have smoked a multitude of these over the years, but realized [...]

Winners: Christmas (2009)

As promised, I printed out every name that entered the Christmas Contest (all 101 of them!) and had a friend draw two names out of the box…I decided that I was not only going to give the First Place winner their first choice cigar, but I am going to give the backup choice to the Second [...]

Contest: Christmas Contest (2009)

So, as I look around the web, I see a bunch of sites posting Christmas contests, and they are all offering boxes of cigars, or grab bags, or what have you…Now, I am not one to follow what other people do (other then the fact that I am having a Christmas contest, of course), so [...]
