Davidoff Millennium Blend
Not long ago I was contacted by Timm. While he was vacationing on a beach in the British Virgin Islands, he was gracious enough to put together his thoughts on today’s review. As you can see below, he was in paradise at the cigar friendly Soggy Dollar Bar. I can’t make any promises, but I [...]

Hello, My Name is Zman and I am a Cigar Snob…
I swear I never intended to become one, but it just kind of happened. Out of the total blue, when I was least expecting it, I, Tommy Z, became a cigar snob. I think I’ve been one for quite some time but could never admit it. All the signs were there but I just continued to [...]

Rocky Patel Renaissance
Up for review today is the Rocky Patel Renaissance. Is it a rebranded RP Edge Sumatra? I don’t know… As many of you know I’m a little Rocky fan boy. Whenever he puts out a new blend, I try to find it. A majority of the time I enjoy his products. I was turned on [...]

Nicaragua, Part III
The sun was dropping below the mountaintops, and darkness was coming quickly to the small farming valley in north central Nicaragua. But Dr. Alejandro Martinez Cuenca, the owner of the Joya de Nicaragua brand, showed no signs of nervousness as we climbed into his SUV and his driver steered us out on the Pan-American Highway headed toward Managua.

Nicaragua, Part II
The day dawned early with a 7:30 departure to Estelí, Nicaraguan time. We left at 8:20 and spent nearly an hour slowly weaving through early morning traffic in Managua, trying to get to the Pan-American highway. Once on the highway, things sped up, but I didn't have enough time to take up the Padróns on their offer to get a quick tour of their factory.

A Quick Smoke With Ed & Tom – Dona Flor Petit Corona
Welcome to the December episode of A Quick Smoke With Ed & Tom. This time we review the Dona Flor Petit Corona. I’ve been a fan of Dona Flor cigars for quite a few years, and was glad Ed started carrying the smaller sized petit corona. This video runs for about 8.5 minutes. MP3 Audio
Nicaragua, Part I
I was in Nicaragua last week for the first time in years. For me, it was a nostalgic trip, as it is every time I visit, because of my time there as a young foreign correspondent for The Associated Press during the country's 1979 revolution and then the Contra wars in the 1980s.

Please…Somebody… Make it Go Away…
It is always hard for the regular everyday, working stiffs like us to understand the mindset of the wackos in Hollywood, and the media that covers the “beautiful people” on a daily basis. You see some of these talentless slugs and media creations and wonder why they are so adorned, and better yet – why [...]
