I have a whole box of Anarchys waiting to see if Clay is dead tonight on SAMCRO. I know he won't be dead. My brother-in-law and I made a deal, if Clay gets killed this season we will smoke an Anarchy. I bet they are going to have to wait another year.

I am headed to Fraser/Winter Park, Colorado next month. Does anyone know of any good cigar shops around that area? Thanks, Johnny

Just received a box of WOAM. They have changed the bands.

I just read online from Cigar Aficionado that two of the Fuente's warehouses in Dominican Republic were destroyed by fire. They lost some very good and rare tobacco. I am sure we will see an impact from this. Just glad nobody was hurt.

I have a friend that just returned from a trip to Nicaragua. She brought me a five pack of Hoja De Nicaragua. It had to be the most awful cigar I ever tasted. Pure POS. I gave it about three puffs and then the hole five pack went in the trash. I would never tell her, but when she goes back I...

Last night I reached into the humidor and came out with a Cohiba Extra Vigoroso. It has been sitting in there for about two months. It looked like a very strong cigar so I headed to the patio to take a seat. I pulled the cello wrapper off and took a wiff. All the sudden I was whisked back to my...

I just received a 5 pack of the new Anejo #60 from Isy two days ago. They are good looking sticks and a perfect size. I decided to smoke one last night. The stick was soft with a very hard head. Beautiful dark wrapper with no flaws. I punched the end and the prelight draw was nice. The tobacco...

I just received a box of Padron 1964 Family Reserve No. 45 Maduros. My wife had ordered them for me and she informs me that I still have a box of Padron 1964 Principe. With them came a five pack of Padron 5000 and a five pack of Oliva. She did all the research and asked me little questions here...

I bought a bundle of these from CigarBid back in March 2008. They are a good looking looking ugly stick. I smoked one when they arrived and it was so salty you could not hold it to your lips. I tried another one three months later and it was just as bad. Well, last week I rediscovered these in...

I have searched and read everything. I am just not getting it. I have a picture in my gallery that I want to use as my avatar and I can not figure out how to do it. Please someone put it in simple redneck terms. Thanks for the help, Johnny

What non-Cuban cigar do you feel like is the hardest to find? I know this will vary in different parts of the world. Let's narrow this down to recently produced in the last 10 to 15 years. I stick with mainly Fuente and Punch, so I am not very familiar with a lot of rare sticks. I recently came...

I was in Las Vegas last week and made my first visit to Casa Fuente. I was like a little kid in a candy store. I was very impressed with the staff. They were all very friendly and courteous. I actually visited there twice buying a few good cigars. The first visit I smoked a WOAM and drank two...

I am going to be in Las Vegas next week. Can anyone suggest some good places to get smokes other than Casa Fuente? Thanks,

I bought a CAO America Sampler and received a three pack of the CAO America Bottle Rockets. These sticks are beautiful and look delicious. I really hated to light the thing it was so good looking. Wish I had not now. The Bottle Rockets are 7x50 barber pole wrappers. I clipped the end and the...

The Smoking on the Red Cigar Event is set for March 27th at 211 Martini Lounge in Shreveport, LA. It is located at 211 Texas Avenue in downtown. The price is $35.00 per person. This will get you two drink tickets and a goody bag. The bags from last year were fantastic along with some really...

02-17-09 I am now two weeks into my project. Check out my blog for the latest Bourbon; Cigars; Wine. The port blend is fantastic. Johnny When I read Macion Grey's post "Port Barrel Question" I became intrigued about these small barrels and port. I had just returned from a trip to Door County...

This from a publication called Healthcare Purchasing News. Very interesting. I wonder how this affects cigars? Johnny Decades after the surgeon general first warned that cigarettes were a health hazard, the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved legislation on Wednesday that would...

When I read cigar reviews the ash is always mentioned as either being anywhere from white to dark gray. Is there a significance to the color of the ash. My guess would be that a white ash was indicative of a clean burning stick. I do feel like I know that the ash being flakey may indicate the...

Friday, April 11th will be my first herf. There will be eight cigar vendors including CAO and Torano. The CAO flavourettes will be there. I am really excited about this event. My wife and two other lady friends are going with me. I should be the talk of the party! I will certainly get pictures...
