The Killer Cigar
I have a drippy sinus this morning and my head doesn't fell all that well. I am a bit clammy and I can't breathe perfectly well. If I was passing through the airport, a health official might stop me. They might think it is swine flu, or some strange respiratory bug.

Casa Magna Colorado
I was out of town for awhile this month, so Ed and I filmed this installment of The Ed & Tom show early. We originally wanted to review this cigar with Stew, but time and scheduling force us to postpone that for another day (soon). In the mean time, see what we thought of the [...]

The Infantile Fan’s of Sport… Yep, That’s Me
Some might label us die-hard sports fans as passionate. We bleed our team’s colors. If you dare make fun of our teams, or one of our star players, we become ornery and engage in flame wars at our favorite internet chat site. We gloat with glee when victory is ours, making it difficult to sleep [...]

G.A.R. by George Rico
The cigar up for review today was sent to me by Mike. Some of you may know of him as @KnightRid on Twitter. The package contained a few cigars that he wanted my opinion on. Included in his care package was two GAR’s. I smoked them both for this review. I paired up with water [...]

Glenmorangie and More
I had the pleasure of attending a luncheon yesterday that paired a selection of Glenmorangie single-malt Scotches, as well as the Ardbeg Uigeadail, with a slew of food, which included a shrimp dish, chicken, pâté de foie gras, a selection of excellent tomatoes and even French fries.

Hoyo De Monterrey Excalibur Maduro
I’ve really been digging deep into the bottom of my humidor lately. I didn’t even know I had the cigar up for review tonight. I’ve been holding on to this smoke for at least two years. There is a back story about where this cigar got the name “Excalibur.” But you didn’t come here to [...]
When Multi-Millionaire’s Act Like Ass-Hats
Ode to the Low-Rent POS Actors, musicians, and athletes have been put on a pedestal since the beginning of time. Some are modest, humble, gracious, and so very thankful and polite to everyone that they meet. But those aren’t the ones who make the headlines. The headlines are for the Ass-Hats – the haughty low-rent turds [...]

Xikar HC Series Connecticut Shade
This is the final installment of my Xikar HC Series reviews. As you saw before in the reviews of the Criollo and Habano Colorado, I really enjoyed them. This line is touted as the milder of the 3 blends, although Xikar says it is slightly stronger then your typical Connecticut wrapped cigar. For more info, [...]

Historical Document
I cleaned out some filing cabinets right after Labor Day, an ongoing personal effort to get up to speed on an organization system called Getting Things Done, or to those in the know: GTD. Sure enough, one of the things that can happen when you start cleaning up what in my case amounted to a geological kind of storage system...the further down you dig, the further you go back in time...you find good stuff.

On The Road Again
It’s that time of year when I hit the road to the Carolinas. I’ve banked a few reviews and put them in the hopper while I’m away. The site will be on auto-pilot for a little while. There will be no interruption in reviews, the Ed & Tom show or A Quick Smoke with [...]
