Viaje is a boutique premium cigar manufacturer that only produces a small number of top notch cigars every year. Their name is Spanish and means simply, “Journey.” Viaje focuses exclusively on crafting Nicaraguan puros. The Viaje Oro Delicado is promoted as the fullest-bodied cigar in the Viaje puro line. Measuring 6 x 50, the Delicado is a Toro with a consistent but enjoyable blend.

More info about purchasing Panacea cigars...

Panacea cigars are a product from the Flatbed Cigar Company. I gave a rundown of the outfit in my review of the Panacea Black Natural that I posted recently. Give it a read if you need or want to know more about them, or just visit their website. The Black label line was their first, initial release with an Ecuadorian grown Connecticut Shade wrapper. The line was quickly expanded to include a maduro-wrapped version of the blend. That is what I am smoking today.

More info about purchasing My Father Le Bijou cigars...

Le Bijou, French for "the jewel" was a blend created by Jose Don Pepin Garcia to honor his late father after Jose's son, Jamie, created the original My Father blend to honor him. 1922 refers to the year of Jose's father's birth. The new blend utilizes a Nicaraguan Habano Oscuro wrapper in contrast to the original My Father series which uses an Ecuadorian Habano wrapper. The wrapper change gives Le Bijou a fuller body and more depth of flavor. I want to send a shout out to Jeremy Soares of My Father Cigars and everybody over at buttheadstobacco.com for making this review possible.

Hello fellow cigar enthusiasts, and welcome to another review by the Father & Son cigar review team known as The Tollaficionados. Today I would like to bestow on you the merits of a fine, exclusive stick – The CAO Colombia.

This fine cigar is a private label for the incredibly popular cigar retailer Serious Cigars. They can be purchased online at www.seriouscigars.com. With their company being located in Houston, Texas, and my abode with deep roots in Westchester, New York, they still manage to get my sticks to me in only 2 days. (Priority Mail) Always freshly wrapped with a moisture packet and in a box that keeps them in pristine condition. Definitely one of the better online cigar superstores that I have found!

Now, on to the cigar. We both had the Robusto (5” x 50), though you can get this edition of CAOs country line in a Belicoso, Churchill and Corona Gorda as well. The Robusto sells for $7.95. Not bad at all for the quality of this smoke.

More info about purchasing Arturo Fuente Hemingway cigars...

Even new cigar enthusiasts seem to know all about the legendary and elusive Hemingway Maduros and the Work of Art tends to be one of the most coveted of that group. Given that fact, I am not going to bore everyone with a lot of fluff on this review. If you don’t know about them, a quick Google search will tell you all you need to know. It seems like a lot of cigar smokers, especially the newer ones who haven’t had a chance to try these, go to great lengths to run the Hemingway Maduros down. If you haven’t had the pleasure of a Hemingway Maduro, the thing you need to be aware of is that they only come out twice a year. Just before Fathers’ Day and again just before the Christmas Holidays. Those are the times to be on the lookout for them.

The Man O’ War line of cigars was developed by A.J Fernandez in Nicaragua. There are three cigars that make up this line: the Man O’ War Virtue, the Man O’ War, and the Man O’ War Ruination. I saw a review by Jerry Cruz from Stogie Review of the MOW Virtue, and during his commentary, he suggested one do a flight of all three cigars starting with the Virtue and ending with the Ruination. So, I took up Jerry’s suggestion and did a flight of the Man O’ War cigars.

As the table didn't fit in a regular blog post, a special page had to be created.

More info about purchasing Panacea cigars...

I was recently contacted by a gentleman named Paul Bush, owner of the Flatbed Cigar Company. He asked if I had heard of and/or tried any of his cigars. He also asked if I’d be interested in trying them if I hadn’t. I informed Paul that while I had indeed heard of his cigars, I hadn’t yet had the pleasure of trying any of them. He generously offered to remedy that and he sent me a sampler of his cigars.

Thanks to Velvet Cigars for providing a sampler!

The Bowery is a new release by Velvet Cigars from New York City. According to their press release, “the Bowery is a medium to full-bodied box pressed cigar, featuring four year-aged Nicaraguan and Honduran filler, with a Habano Ecuadorian wrapper.” Velvet cigars are hand-rolled in their Club in NYC by a team of Dominican rollers. I have never smoked anything from Velvet, so this is a completely new experience for me.
