Here at FineTobaccoNYC, we’re always meeting new cigar lovers, and every once in a while we meet someone so passionate about cigars that we have to ask them to come on board with us to help promote this truly incredible passion that we share. I first met Ronnie Parisella at a cigar event out in […]
After dropping by the Cigar Inn, I decided to give a quick review of the Viaje Fifty Fifty. After my first Viaje white label, I was intrigued and excited about this brand. They make some truly flavorful, predominantly Nicaraguan cigars and I would highly recommend giving anything in their line a try. I brought with […]
My first Savinelli cigar was the Extremely Limited Reserve, a fantastic cigar that I’d highly recommend. After that, I knew I needed to smoke more Savinelli cigars, but I didn’t know where to look — they’re still pretty difficult to find.
