Sorry for no posts. I’m hoping to continue my review of CAO America’s 4 for Fourth of July box set. It was a busy work week. I did get the special CRA sampler set this week. I had it shipped to Cigar Inn in Manhattan. I didn’t spend nearly enough time there but one thing […]

Cigar Rights: What doesn’t belong with the others?
It feels kinda like Sesame Street. You’re shown a bunch of pictures and you need to figure out how it doesn’t belong. In this case, we’re talking about the use of cheap “cigars” to be used as blunt wrappers but a law that doesn’t narrow the specification down. I mean, come one. Do they really […]
April Poll: A cigar goes good with…
The whiskey/bourbon/rye/scotch have it. And I do have to agree although I do like water to clean the palate when doing reviews. Beer was wedged between water and the harder stuff. I think the preference for these three fluid types highlights what is often seen as part of the stereotypical cigar smoker, particularly the first […]
Smokers’ Right: SCHIP and smoking bans
I’m in Manhattan this week, edu-ma-kating the masses on the wonders of virtualization. If you can consider 4 students masses. That said, because I’m at a facility that means limited cigar enjoyment this week. That’s ok. I’ll indulged in the evening. “Mah woman”, as I affectionately call her, had been bugging me to get her […]
Quick updated thoughts on the cigar forums
While I finish off my first review of the day I thought I’d post a quick note on the cigar forums issue that has gone on recently. I recently joined CigarAsylum, a forum created by former moderators of another forum that was part of the enmasse purchase a while ago. And I have to say […]
Cigar Comments: Some combinations leave a good taste while others..
I’ve been quiet of late because of work. It’s had me fairly busy and with an hour and a half commute, has limited my smoking time this week (hoping to get some reviews in this weekend). So, tonight as I smoke a Short Story to wind down, I’ve been pondering some “going on’s” in the […]
Cigars for newbies
This can be a challenge to determine what cigars are best for newbies. It does depend on your taste buds. I’d say it’d be worthwhile trying only a stick or two at first. If you really like something then you can buy a box and put them into your humidor or tupperware-dor. One of the […]
Smoke, Lies and the Nanny State
I recently got the article “Smoke, Lies and the Nanny State” when surfing the internet. It’s an interesting essay by Joe Jackson (yes, that Joe Jackson, the singer) about the anti-smoking lobby and perhaps, more importantly, a poignant critique of what that industry is doing. He brings up some excellent points. The reality is that […]
