In my short time here (relatively I guess), I have seen this happen several times sadly. One of those things that is an unfortunate side effect of this being such an awesome, friendly (and violently explosive on the bomb front) board.

Room 101 Serie-C (Or Room 101 Connecticut... Not sure what the official name is). Really great! Some killer Connies have come out over the last year, and I think this is one of the best. Solid medium body, fair amount of spice given the wrapper, and awesome cedar and floral notes. Flawless...

lol. I think Veeref was probably talking about the old Hispanic women who tray very hard to give you baseball card sized ads for brothels and titty bars... They kind of slap together the cards in an weird way.

Nice. Looking forward to the next run of shirts.

At his age he was probably just hungry.

Spent a week there at the end of October. Smoke cigars and drink mojitos at Casa Fuente and Rhumbar, eat dinner at Thomas Keller's Bouchon, Charlie Palmer's Aureole, and Block16's The Barrymore. We stayed at the Westing hotel, but that was because everyone I was with has lots of points with...

Viaje VOR No. 5 It's good, but I'm not sure I quite get the hype. Not getting anything more from it than I have gotten from plenty of other Nicaraguan Puros that are readily available everywhere.

I have no answer for this beyond unfounded speculation, but I too have found that all of the Liga Privadas put out a lot of ambient smoke when the cigar is idling in the ash tray!

Porkchop, Pork Tenderloin... I dunno. I don't buy the Tatuaje rip-off really. Who cares. They are both great brands, that offer plenty of great variety.

Uh... Really? Fábrica de Tabacos Raíces Cubanas is a name that carries a TON of weight, and quality. Regardless of whether you like Viaje, Andre, the marketing, or whatever else, you cannot deny the technical quality behind the brand...

Andre actually said, during his presentation of the VOR No.5 at Big Smoke, that the concept for the brand was to focus on small batch, limited releases, from the get go, but to build a financial base to build these releases on, he had to create a pair of regular release lines as a foundation for...

What's a Montecristo #7? I was only aware of Monte 1 through 5?

Smoked one of these JD gave me at Big Smoke... KILLER stick. Not as full bodied as some of the other Liga stuff, but the flavor is so concentrated, tons of malty, bready, chocolate and coffee.

I do some cigar blogging, post my humble reviews, and get a few hits on my page from time to time. That said, I do it for myself, for fun, as a way of keeping my notes all in one place for my own reference. I happen to love reading other reviews of cigars, and read a lot of the blogs for this...

I have never smoked more than 3, but try to never smoke more than 2. In fact, 1 is my preference...

Some things are just better unseen.

Casa Fuente Corona Gorda and Hemingway Rosado Signature... And a few too many mojitos.

Went to Casa Fuente one last time while out here, and lets just say it's a good thing I'm not going to be retiring any year soon...

Jack Schwartz sells an awesome Lancero sampler that changes in contents from time to time.
