Thanks to Bonita Smoke Shop and John G. for gifting these to me recently. Otherwise, it would have been quite some time before I could smoke the cigar up for review today. The Serie D is the brain child of Eddie Ortega, formerly of E.O. Brands. If I recall correctly, they are made in factories [...]
Romeo has left Julieta…at least in the cigar sense. Since 1875, Romeo y Julieta have been a pair. But apparently Romeo is going out on his own…kinda. In late March, Altadis USA makers of Romeo y Julieta in the Dominican Republic unveiled its newest entry at the Tobacconists’ Association of America convention in Las Cabos, [...]
I picked up a couple Vault’s at a local shop. While chatting with @cigarmonkey43, I realized that I was never really impressed with Carlos Torano cigars in the past. But lately, I have found their stuff to be enjoyable. So without further ado, here are my thoughts on the Carlos Torano Vault. Wrapper: Nicaragua [...]

Thanks to Jackie for [...]

Well, as they say, all good things must come to an end. This trip has been unbelievably amazing! There was nothing planned for today so we used it as much-needed day of relaxation. This resort had so much to offer, such as tennis, massages, golf, and of course there was a beach and a pool. [...]
Day Three is just as amazing as the first two! Today we left Santiago to head to the Copata farm in Mao, the growing region of some of the tobaccos used by General, as the area’s climate and soil are ideal for cultivating long fillers. The farm is on a vast 500 acres and split [...]
I picked up a couple of these the other day at a local cigar shop. The creepy guy behind the counter suggested them, so I figured why not. To those of you that are new to my site – I’m not big on intro’s and long winded back stories of cigars. So let’s see how [...]
