Bolivar Cigars

Up In Smoke had a tasting of the Bolivar cigars from General Cigar today. I tried out one of the Toro (6.5" x 52) sized offerings. It's a rich, full bodied smoke with a cool, even burn. I really enjoyed it and added a couple to the humidor. more »

A Good Scotch and a Good Cigar

After the week from hell I needed to unwind a little so I spent most of the evening sitting in my back yard drinking a well deserved Glenmorangie Port Wood Finish scotch. A couple friends of mine turned me on to this at a biker gathering a couple years… more »

Genuine Pre Embargo Counterfeit Cubans

After a pretty bad day and as a treat for getting more of my paper done than I'd expected I sat down to enjoy one of these Genuine Pre Embargo Counterfeit Cubans that Tiger Bob gave me. It was a 1958 Gourmet Figurado, and was delicious. Smooth draw, a… more »

Mold!

My winning bids from Cigar Bid came in yesterday and I was shocked, shocked I say!, to find mold on one of the Puros Indios Maxima Reservas. Cigar Bid was extremely helpful, and is shipping me out a replacement 5 pack and a return label to ship the othe… more »

Building A Coolerdor

I've started on the coolerdor for my cigars. It's funny, all of the parts for this were bought at Wal Mart, for less than $20. A liter of propylene glycol, some wet floral foam, and a Ziplock plastic container. I'm doing the salt test to calibrate the… more »

JR Ultimate

I forgot to put this in this weekend. On the way back from Gilmer I tried out one of the JR Ultimate cigars that Tiger Bob gave me. This was a nice smoke, the draw was pretty easy and the flavors were great. The only down side was that I think this on… more »

El Credito Apprentice

I'm finishing off a large El Credito Apprentice cigar as I type this and have to say that I'm very impressed. I understand that they're "student" cigars, and this one has had a couple spots where it burned funky, but the draw and flavor are wonderful.… more »

Winter in Texas

I love Texas winters. I'm sitting outside, enjoying an Ashton VSG Illusion and a Heineken. It's been over 80 degrees for the past couple days here and while it's going to cool off again, I'm enjoying it while it lasts. A good friend of mine turned m… more »
