It’s a beautiful day out in Astoria, Queens – not a cloud in the sky, 85 degree weather, and a beautiful back yard to smoke in. I haven’t reviewed in a while, so I figured I’d give this La Floridita Fuerta sitting in my box a try. I didn’t pair any drinks with this cigar […]
Unless you have been living under a rock for all of your cigar smoking life then the name José Garcia a.k.a. “Don Pepin” should ring bells. His cigar blends have reached cult status throughout the industry and throughout the world. That being said, this stick has been on my “get to” list for some time […]
While I was in Williamsburg Brooklyn, I stopped by Refugio Cigar House to have a stogie. I was curious to try the La Gloria Series N; people seem to love it or hate it.

I entered the well-filled humidor, enjoying the sweet smell of tobacco, and I chose the Arturo Fuente Don Carlos to review. I had […]
I decided to give the Pinar Del Rio Classico Exclusivo a shot after reading some really positive things about this particular line. I purchased a 5 pack on Cigar Monster (my favorite cigar site) for $13. I smoked this stick on my roof with a cup coffee and my favorite smoking music: Putumayo Latin America. […]
