Known for being a ‘concentrate’ of all typical Partagas flavors (earth and spice), the 8-9-8 may seem way too intense for some. Others just love this beautiful Lonsdale which can easily provide 60 minutes of bliss after a heavy meal. Noble, classic and always remarkable.

More info about purchasing Davidoff 2000 cigars...

I like these cigars from one of the most famous manufacturers. Davidoff usually equals high quality and luxury and his cigars usually come up to the expectations. Davidoff 2000 is a mild corona that boasts a perfect construction and exquisite (though not very deep) flavors.

I had been talking to my wife about wanting to try the Illusione Cigars. I hinted to my wife that if she were at all downtown with time to kill, while Christmas shopping she should stop by the cigar shop for me and see if they had anything “Illusione”. When my wife came back she said she had bought me something. She caught my curiosity. She said she went by the cigar shop to see if they had Illusione Cigars. She said that they had not received an order of them yet. She asked if they had anything similar. The sales person suggested something a little more luxurious; a European import of a Nicaraguan Robusto cigar called the Dornier DO-X (after the sea plane). It looks very classy. She said this is equivalent to an Illusione ~88~. My wife brought it home to me. She compelled me to smoke it right away. Which I did.

More info about purchasing Perdomo Edicion de Silvio cigars...

I have the very good fortune of having befriended a man who is generally considered one of the best, if not the best, cigar reps in the South East US. He may be the best in the country. I first met Chris Harper when he was working for another cigar manufacturer. He now works for Perdomo and apparently they recognize his talents as well because he has quickly risen through the ranks there and has gotten himself a nice promotion that has expanded his responsibilities to a national, rather than regional, level. Chris is one of the friendliest and most genuine guys I have met in the cigar business. One of the great things about being friends with Chris is that he is a very knowledgeable and passionate cigar guy with an insider’s knowledge of the industry so he is full of great stories about cigars and the cigar business. He once relayed to me the story of the Perdomo family which is a truly amazing story. Here is a brief synopsis of what Chris told me. You can also find a more detailed version of the story on the Perdomo website.

Along with Punch Double Coronas, the Partagas Lusitanias is one of the classic Prominentes. Prominente is a very long cigar, smoking one requires patience and concentration. Definitely not a cigar for beginners.

More info about purchasing Non-Cuban Montecristo cigars...

I wanted something special. My father had just passed away, so I wanted a good, not-TOO-expensive cigar to help me think. (Unfortunately, I didn’t have too much walking around time, so I enjoyed it back in Chicago…while I was, um, thinking.)

A pleasurable lengthy smoke, with a lot of distinctive aromas: wood and earth for the first phase, the Punch Double Coronas keeps going with some honey touches and becomes more and more powerful without being too strong. Occasionally, the end can have some light citrus notes. The tempo is ‘tranquil’ and provides all the magnificence of this master piece.

More info about purchasing Padron cigars...

This a very very well known, expensive, hard to find and hyped up cigar. Padron Anniversaries appear almost monthly in CA and consistantly receive 90+ scores. Are they worth the price or trouble finding them? I say yes to both. They live up to all the hype and probably then some
