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...

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...

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...

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...

Brethren, Over the course of this year I enjoyed a few vintage Padron 1964 Aniversario's/Anniversary's. These cigars came from my stash of old and rare that I keep for special occasions. These cigars have been sitting in my humidor for the past 14 years. I decided to put all 3 in one review...

El Rey del Mundo Choix Supreme Length: 5 in. Ring Gauge: 48 Square body in a flat box. Brethren, After rummaging around the humidor I came across a well known favorite that caught my eye. I got this cigar a few years back, so I'd say it has at least 3 - 5 years of age on it. This is a...

As I said in the box review posted yesterday, I decided to usher in the Fall season with a Hoyo de Monterrey, Epi #2. This has been one of my favorite / go to smokes for some time now. These cigars provide an hour of pure enjoyment. These fall on the lighter side of the strength spectrum, but...

Summers end is always a sad time of year, but there is no fighting nature. I decided to welcome fall with one of my favorite smokes; The Hoyo de Monterrey - Epicure #2. Rather than picking up a single, I decided to go ahead and purchase a box of these fine smokes. I can think of no better way...
