It was time for something dark. Dark like Satan’s soul. Dark like the deepest dark of the void of space. The Soledad Churchill seemed to fit the bill. It’s a 7 inch by 48 ring gauge big boy, about as maduro as it gets. Famous Smoke tells me it’s a blend of Honduran and Nicaraguan…
One of my local liquor stores recently put in a proper, stand-in humidor. They had some problems initially that had to be repaired, so I stayed away for a while, avoiding cracked and peeling cigars (shudder!) They have repaired it now, however, so it was time to go back and see what they had on…
Sometimes I just want a good cigar in the morning. As I’ve written before, I think it’s a bit like coffee; lighter tobaccos with stronger stimulants are better in the morning, while darker tobaccos with less stimulant are better in the evening.

There’s not much I enjoy more than an evening of writing. But sometimes the brain needs a little extra boost, and that’s when I pull out a small cigar. This time I chose to pull out a G.A.R. Robusto Grande by George Rico. I think I acquired it as part of a random sampler from…
What a whirlwind the holiday season can be! I’ve hardly had time to think, let alone write a review. So I was pleased to finally sit down with a cigar I’ve been saving; the 5 Vegas Cask Strength Torpedo. The wrapper note revealed a mild cocoa scent, presented in an attractive maroon and gold label…
