More info about purchasing Montecristo cigars...

This Montecristo belongs to the Seleccion Piramides Series, a limited edition of 5 Cuban piramides released in 2003. You can get yours here.

An incredibly beautiful smoke, the Montecristo Seleccion Piramide was completely different from the previously reviewed Cohiba which I also found excellent. If you have already tried a Montecristo No. 2 you probably know what to expect out of this one - creamy and smooth flavors, soothing yet entertaining. All of this with impeccable look and construction.

More info about purchasing Camacho cigars...

Camacho Havana H2 is one fat and powerful smoke. It’s not as kick-a$$ as the Camacho Corojo Monarca, but they still are quite full-bodied. Regular cedary and spicy flavors make it a nice 40-minutes short smoke.

We are happy to release our new project - a directory/rating of online cigar retailers. The directory is based on customers’ reviews - shops are sorted by the number of positive ratings they received. Please click here to have a look at the beta version.

Feel free to add your own rating, it’s really easy to do. Of course, we are aware that the current list of shops is not exhaustive - if you see that some that you have used are missing, please add a comment on this post with your review in the following format:

- Shop name / URL
- Rating (positive/negative)
- Short comment

Enjoy and if you have any feedback, we’d be glad to hear it.

PS Many thanks to the guys from Social Cigar, Cohiba Club, The Box Press and to David for helping us with the initial ratings.

More info about purchasing Romeo y Julieta cigars...

I am having some tough luck with petit coronas recently. First, the disappointing RASCC and now the pale and hardly memorable Romeo y Julieta No. 2. Not to mention that one of the cigars was moldy. I guess it’s time to get back to my beloved robustos…

This is not exactly cigar-related, I was just wondering - how many of you are using RSS? I always knew what it was but only recently started actively using it - and, as an example, here’s how my Google homepage looks like:
