Blind Cigar Reviews
Today, I’m reviewing the Rare Finds Blend 1011-42, a cigar crafted by Henke and Klaas Kelner exclusively for The Tobacconist of Greenwich. This cigar, aged 3-5 years, hails from the Dominican Republic, continuing the legacy of quality tobacco from the Kelner family, renowned for their work with Davidoff and their own Kelner Cigars, S.A.S. in […]
In the world of cigar accessories, it’s often a choice between low-priced, subpar tools and high-priced, high-quality ones. Finding a brand that strikes the perfect balance between quality and affordability is a rare gem.

Budget friendly brand Penn Standard is cigar using a Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro wrapper. I haven’t smoked this brand before and I tend to shy away from “budget” smokes as they tend to be under fermented or underfilled. I’d rather spend more on better tobacco and enjoy the time I have to smoke. That being said […]

This brand boasts a rich heritage, traditionally renowned as one of the most coveted Cuban cigars globally. Interestingly, it’s worth noting that the Montecristo brand has a dual existence, with the Cuban version […]

I’ve been able to smoke all the editions thus far and they have all be well received in their […]

The shop is now open after Hurricane Sandy swept through and caused a lot of destruction. ~~~ First, we’re back in business and hosting a poker night this Friday (starting 5:00 pm).

The Wall St. Journal interviewed Victoria McKee at Club Macanudo in two different video segments, one as a sort of cigar 101 and the other a brief overview of Victoria’s top 5 cigar picks for the Fall. Both segments are very well done, though I might disagree on a few points in the second. First, […]
On Monday, November 12th, Michael Herklots, Mr. and Mrs. Sherman, and staff hosted a special event honoring veterans and members of the New York Police Department at the Nat Sherman Townhouse. I was grateful to receive an invite from Michael and Pat Felitti and to be there to smoke, meet some of the guests, and […]
