It’s interesting that on various cigar forums I browse that when someone posts a question about what cigars to recommend (whether for lowest price or whatever), the responses that come back often are primarily the bigger name brands: Davidoff, Padron, et al. There seems little interest in promoting or finding the independent, smaller cigar manufacturers. […]

Photo Blog: Sometimes.. it’s just a smoke
Tonight I relaxed with a Georges Reserve, a Gurkha Titan, water and a Corona. What a great way to end the week.
Cigar lengths and ring sizes (guages)
Ok. So Arwen had asked about cigar lengths and sizes. There are a few sites out there with graphics as to sizing which I’ll link to but in a nutshell cigar sizing goes like this (see diagram — obtained from CigarHandbook.com): Cigar Ring Guages (measured in 64ths of an inch) If I list a cigar […]
Cigar Review: A quick comment on the Rocky Patel Summer Collection 2008
Today was less than fun at work and I was nearly fully late but made it in with a couple of minutes to go. But by the end of the day I was ready to go home so I thought I’d treat myself to something interesting an ddifferent. So I went to the Wall Street […]
Quick morning thoughts
I always try to find the silver lining or happy stuff within the things that annoy me. For instance, yes, I don’t like getting up so early in the morning but some nice side effects have come from working downtown this week. For example, I’ll probably finish reading my 2nd book for the week, would […]
Cigar Review: Ashton VSG Tres Mystique is a nice mystery
Cigar Name: Ashton VSG Tres Mystique Cigar Description: Ecuadorian wrapper with long aged Dominican long filler Review of the Cigar itself: It lit beautiful and the first draw was flavourful without being overpowering. The ash didn’t flake like other cigars I’ve had and it held it together well. The previous Ashton VSG I had came […]
Coffee and cigars, oh where art thou, coffee and cigars??
This early morning stuff has got to stop. Seriously. To make it even more fun, I don’t have enough time to enjoy a nice cigar and will probably have to wait until the weekend (maybe Friday afternoon). I’m a bit disappointed as I have some new ones I can to really test out and perhaps […]
Cigar: HOT! HOT! HOT!
A quick little post about an issue that bugs me: as I smoke a good cigar I want to smoke it down to the last little bit. Often a good one will cost me a pretty penny and I want to enjoy it all. The problem becomes when you get down to the “nub” it’s […]
Cigars: How to enjoy a good cigar..
While in Vegas I got to enjoy some Fuente Fuente Opus X. While Vegas is very dry and thus, cigars tend to burn faster I still enjoyed them very much. I also brought back a God of Fire Pyramide which I enjoyed tonight. It burned beautiful and tasted great. It had a nice cedar flavour […]
Mooooooooo — or the joys of traveling.
It’s a wonder I don’t respond to questions with “mooooo” these days. I spend a better portion of my month on the road because of requirements of work. I teach courses about my company’s software products and I have a specialty for one product. In fact, I’m one of 3 instructors that teach it. As […]
