Brethren, As a loyal patron to my B & M I am rewarded with the occasional rare or hard to find smoke for which I am grateful. My B & M happens to be a Viaje preferred account, so we get a sample from time to time. This week I am happy to report I was the lucky recipient of a Viaje TNT which...

Brethren, Here's a stick I didnt know too much about when it was handed to me by a good friend of mine. I had never had one of these before this review, so I was eager to try something new. Here's a little something I got from another site describing the cigar: Cuba Aliados cigars are made...

Brethren, It's time to review one of my favorites; the Padron 1964 Anniversary. As some of you may remember, I did a review on 3 very old 1964's before that were taken from my old and rare humidor. This specimen happens to be a bit younger. I bought this particular cigar in 2007, so roughly...

Brethren, I have been looking forward to this cigar ever since I heard it was coming out. I have grown quite fond of the Viaje brand having smoked most of the different lines offered. This particular cigar is the Holiday Blend. From an online site I read they only produce 100 boxes of these...

Brethren, I decided to enjoy one of my staples before it got too cold to sit outside. Contrary to some, I am not a fan of the Winter. Sure I relish the holiday spirit, but I don't like the cold that accompanies the festivities. If I had my druthers I would keep the temps at 80 degrees year...

Viaje Fifty Fifty - Black Label No. 1 5 5/8" X 46 Brethren, I'll start by letting you digest the cigars description taken from NHC: Fifty| Fifty is a special project that took a great deal of time to perfect. The idea behind the cigar is to offer the ability to enjoy two different flavor...

MONTECRISTO #4 Habanos 5 X 42 Brethren, I was looking for something quick to smoke and I came across this beautiful Monte #4. To be honest, I'm not really sure where I got this stick or how long Ive had it. Its always nice stumbling upon a gem like this one. This cigar was in great...

Oliva Serie V Brethren, After hearing great things about this smoke I was eager to try the Serie V. This was a great looking cigar. Very dark brown wrapper with light oils present. Very firm to the touch with a sweet tobacco scent. I clipped the cap and lit 'er up. From the Oliva site -...

They must be for retail because Ive picked them up at my B & M.

Casa Magna 5 1/2 X 52 Brethren, After reading so many reviews on this stick I decided to see what this cigar was all about. After all, this stick did get top cigar of the year. I usually don't try cigars based on ratings, but this one got my attention. Looking at the cigar I see it has...

Nice review. I have been loving these. I think Jefe is the best size in the line. I sure didnt find the smoke to be mild though. You must likem strong. Anyway, here is a review I did for CP. http://www.cigarpass.com/forums/index.php?...p;mode=threaded

I'd try Tower or Silo Cigars. They have a pretty good selection.

Viaje Platino Jefe - 7 X 50 Brethren, I was gifted this cigar by the owner of my local B & M after they recently got the Platino line in the shop. I guess all the time spent at the shop is beginning to pay off. After receiving favorable ratings in Cigar Aficionado, the owner wanted to get...

Unfortunately I bought the single and didn't catch the year.

Brethren, Today I was in the mood for something different. I looked through the humidor and grabbed a smoke that isn't as well known as some of the bigger Cuban names. I came across a Rafael Gonzalez Corona Extra. This isn't one of my favorites, but I haven't had one in a while so I decided...

Brethren, Last week I wanted to enjoy the heat wave us west coasters were experiencing with one of my staples; The Partagas Serie D #4. This Cuban classic has been one of my go to cigars for more than a decade now. Much to my surprise, after searching the humidor, I came to a startling...

Well this is where I bow out and leave the discussion to the CP community. Thanks for reading.

I address the issue in my last post. http://www.cigarpass.com/forumsipb/index.php?showtopic=52938

First let me start off by saying I'm flattered someone would take the time to research the information I posted on this site. Its nice to know that the CP community is not only interested in cigar reviews, but reviews that are factual. In a previous reply a member challenged some of the facts...

Ive never tried this vitola. Ill have to put it on the list. Thanks for the review.
