Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro I searched high and low to find some information on this new release. The Alec Bradley Tempus Maduro is a limited edition produced in the Magistri size that I found in a recent trip to Philadelphia while at Holt’s on Walnut. The cigar was so good I had to bump up the review date to share ...5 days ago -
Cigar Review: Liga Privada T52
A Cigar Smoker's Journal —
Authority: 125
Liga Privada T52 The T52 is a blend that was in a holding pattern for a long time as Drew Estate has been working with a stalk cut habana leaf since 2006. The cigar even went through a re-blend during production as the could not decide on test blend #3 or #4. So blend 3.5 was developed and what you have is the final ...1 week ago -

Wrapper: 2004 Ecuadorian Connecticut Filler: Nicaragua & Honduras Size: Cremant (Toro) (6 x 52) Strength: Mild-Medium Construction: The CAO Gold Vintage Cremant is a beautiful cigar (maybe because of the cool bands CAO always uses).

Cigar Review: Super Selection 12
A Cigar Smoker's Journal —
Authority: 125
Super Selection 12 by Davidoff I know the cigars I have smoked lately have been a little repetitive due to the fact I recently went to the Davidoff of Geneva shop on Madison Avenue in New York City. Today’s smoke was a cigar shown to me by the General Manager, Michael Herklots who I first made acquaintance with on ...1 week ago -

Not really sure what to right about today. Baseball season is over, and football this year has been a snore for me. Despite liking the Saints and the Jets I can’t seem to get into it. I cheer for the Saints because I am a huge Drew Brees fan ever since his days at Purdue. In cigar news this week the Oliva V Maduro ...1 week ago -

Tools of the Trade in the Man Room I had a buddy (cousin, actually) that approached me earlier this week wanting a few cigar recommendations. He’s a newbie in the cigar world and wanted to get a fair shake at starting with a decent smoke. Of course I recommended the A Fuente OpusX and the CAO LX2 , which are ...1 week ago -

Cabaiguan Maduro
Keepers of the Flame —
Authority: 475
I have to wonder if a maduro variation is really necessary for every successful cigar blend. Obviously this is the conventional thing to do, and manufacturers feel no need for discipline when it comes to creating new extensions for reputable brand names, but I still wonder if it doesn’t water down the label a ...1 week ago -

Cigar Review: Davidoff Colorado Claro
A Cigar Smoker's Journal —
Authority: 125
Davidoff Colorado Claro It seems like every time I turn around Davidoff has yet another Limited Edition cigar on the market. For me each one is better then the last. Formal limited-edition Davidoffs debuted in 2002 and there have been one or two new blends each year, including 2009. But another special-production ...2 weeks ago -

Cigar Review: Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig
A Cigar Smoker's Journal —
Authority: 125
Liga Privada No. 9 Flying Pig I came across this cigar a week ago in Davidoff and to be honest as much as I wanted to smoke it I was hesitant that it would be a novelty cigar. The cigar is a limited edition smoke due to the size being difficult to roll with production being a little over 100 sticks per day. It looks ...2 weeks ago -

Wrapper: Cameroon Filler: Dominican Size: Petite Corona (4 x 38) Strength: Mild Construction: The Cameroon wrapper on the CAO Flavours has some medium sized veins running the length of the cigar. Veins on the Flavours will not effect the perfect burn of the cigar. Like most chopped filled cigars the CAO ...2 weeks ago -
Bargain Arganese Rundown
Keepers of the Flame —
Authority: 475
I don’t have too much experience with Arganese cigars. I don’t see them in the shops I patronize and I’ve never been curious enough to take a chance on a box online. But when I saw a five-pack sampler of discontinued blends on sale for less than ten bucks, I bit. I’m not sure why these are being ...2 weeks ago -

CAO Gold Vintage I happened to be in Holts in Philadelphia this week and they were having an event for CAO. Besides picking up some La Traviata smokes I also picked up some CAO Gold Vintage which is based on the Escaparate CAO Gold from a few years back. Seeing these new CAOs caught me by surprise as I did not ...2 weeks ago -
