For the twelfth day in a row, it rained. By now I was feeling deeply depressed and miserable about it. I desperately needed a pick-me-up, and thought the Alec Bradley Post Embargo might fit the bill. But the name is misleading. It implies that something of it might come from Cuba, and I was interested…
My hubby knows me so well. He bought me a birthday present that was just perfect for me; a very thoughtful gift! Check it out: This gift box proudly proclaims that the Serie V Melanio Gran Reserva Limitada was Cigar Aficionado’s Cigar of the Year in 2014, with a 96 rating. They were still talking…

I’ve got nothing against clearance packs; often it’s just a matter of some things not selling for whatever…

Today my fast review is of the Grand Habano Vintage 2002. Again it’s just the review: no links, no details, just what I thought and why. Enjoy!
This is a new feature I’m trying periodically while the magazine is on hiatus! Today I review the Leaf by Oscar Corojo. This series will contain nothing but my personal thoughts on the cigar in question. I don’t look up anything about it, nor do I indicate where I bought it from. Just the review,…
