The last three months have been a grueling, and here is why. It's also why I haven't been around. Not because I am unable, but because this situation has ruined the hobby of cigars for me. And that makes me very sad. As you read this, red flags are going to pop up, which when it comes to these...

https://www.cigaraficionado.com/top25/2024 Not what I was expecting! Quite the interesting list this year.

Some things of note to show off! My wife and I celebrated our 3rd anniversary last week, on the 27th to be exact. My dear friend Adam visited to be a part of it, which he has for the last three years. He was the Maître d' at our wedding and has been an instrumental part of our journey. We...

Some companies are celebrating milestones that I am pretty excited about. Caldwell and AJ Fernandez are both releasing 10 year anniversary cigars as well as the Padron 60th finally hitting retailers this month. Anything else on peoples radars that are dropping soon?

Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut Binder: Undisclosed Filler: Undisclosed 5x50 Robusto Beautiful cigar, great overall presence with the white and gold bands. Pre Light aroma: hay, cream, sugar, peach tea Cold draw: faint aged cedar First light: bright grapefruit citrus, light cream, faint...

Here’s the story… After my first Kingmakers cigar experience I ended up chatting with Claudio, the COO, on Instagram over a couple of days. We hit it off, turns out we are both into Motorsports and motorcycles, as well as cigars! From the COO, “As a brand and a company we are very much...

Today I made my last entry into the Cigar Journal I began at the beginning of my foray into the intoxicating hobby of premium cigars. I find it fitting that Cigar Pass has effectively become my online journal as the blank pages in my leather bound book grew slim. I reminisced with nostalgia...

Seasoned up wonderfully. The cedar they used is excellent. Construction is quality and the seal is superb. And it fit almost all my CC. My only gripe: single stack. They could have added an inch here and there more to at least double stack in the bottom compartment and add a Boveda holder on...

I don't know how it happened, but son of a gun if I wasn't tempted over the weekend to buy every "good deal" Dunhill Rollagas soft flame lighter on eBay I could find. I did throw a couple bids at one from Japan, and ended up winning for a decent price. It arrives today whenever FedEx drops by...

This was an unexpected find…Cigar Aficionado is surprising me these days. It’s like digging around on CP, the more you look the more you find! https://www.cigaraficionado.com/article/the-cigar-quote-primer-9036#:~:text=%22'A%20cigar%2C'%20said,'%22 I like good quotes. Anyone have a favorite...

With the talk last week about corojo tobacco in the Make-A-Wish PIF and Top 5 Cuban NC threads, I went on a little Google search rabbit hole and stumbled across this article. I found it well written and full of fantastic information, especially related to corojo...

What I have been doing over the last three months! My good friend, and BOTL, got his Pro License this year for AMA/MotoAmerica and asked me to be his Crew Chief, Rider Coach, and all around “Right Hand Man.” So far we have been to Birmingham, AL; Brainerd, MN; and Shelton, WA. This weekend...

So I get home from a long weekend trip at the race track, and there was a hand written note on my car to the effect of, “Bill, I have a package for you. Head to the Restaurant Depot at 1477 E Helm. Ask for Jeff.” Well this is strange. My wife asks, “Who calls you Bill?” “Old friends,” I reply...

Turning the corner boys a girls…some might even say it’s the halfway point. My 40th is Sunday the 10th and I’ve been planning my cigar lineup for two weeks (nerd). I was supposed to work this weekend as well, Leave approved plus Monday 💪🏼 The fire wood is stacked, propane tank is full, and “la...

For you @PaulTra ! AHRMA is the premier vintage/historical motorcycle racing association in the United States and something I've been interested in for a couple of years. After racing Laguna as a MotoAmerica AMA Pro in 2022 I wanted to go back to compete, but without all the stress and fanfare...

I’d say “typical Aniversario profile,” however that’s not necessarily accurate. I find the larger vitolas to be much more enjoyable fresh from the Humidor or out of the box. Anything smaller than the No.3 Toro are too light and missing out on the flavor and taste. After resting for 3-5 years...

NSW Cigar Porn @Jsilverhands Yes, it deserves its own Thread! The box dimensions are 10.5 x 8.5 x 1.5 and weighs 2.7lbs on the kitchen scale. The cigars are 8 2/3x 48 and the wooden Tubo doubles as a Billy Club! I am blessed to have incredible BOTL who assisted in me securing these...

Who doesn’t like a 💩 Cigar! https://www.cigars-connect.com/en/where-does-the-barnyard-flavor-in-cigars-come-from/

Nothing like rearranging to make room for new additions and consolidating a bit. I am very pleased with the Collection as it sits. Time to start smoking more of these Davidoff! Cheers and enjoy my friends.

With the recent haul of 5 each Gstaad and Unicorn Toro, and my unceasing OCD for not only brand organization, but type within the brand, I had to reorganize a little in the Trinidad 100th Anniversary Humidor. The main cabinet is all Davidoff these days with Cubans in the top box. Enjoy!
