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.)

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

More info about purchasing Padilla Signature 1932 cigars...

I am a fan of Jose Garcia and dare not miss an opportunity to smoke one of his creations. He is tops in my book. A friend gifted me one of these early this year and I have been stocking them ever since. Incredibly, an online vendor ran a special in mid-November for a Padilla sampler where I was able to pick these up for $3.55 a stick (including shipping). An absolutely absurd price considering MSRP is now $12 US! Couldn’t pass it up.

More info about purchasing Rocky Patel Vintage 1990...

It is close to impossible to get Rocky Patel cigars in Europe, but fortunately my friends from the US sometimes bring me some interesting specimens. The Vintage 1990 line is getting a lot of coverage online and I was anxious to try it out.

More info about purchasing Saint Luis Rey cigars...

Underrated Hermoso #4 reaps big-time dividends in the taste department. This stick was reputed to be a favorite of Mr. Frank Sinatra back in the 40’s when he made regular trips to Havana.

I was browsing in the local cigar shop, and thought the chocolate color promised a smooth smoke. The price appealed to my working-class wallet as well.

More info about purchasing Bolivar cigars...

A wonderful thick handmade Cuban, Bolivar Royal Corona is likely one of the higher quality Robustos. It comes as no great surprise that these were voted number one in the top twenty-five of 2006.
