Well it feels like its been a while since a reviewed a Cuban. In fact im shocked i havn’t done a review of the Choix Supreme yet. I do have to say im a fan, so this may be alittle bias. While i was in Holland i picked up some teas from Geels & Co. [...]

Being an obbessed Perique fan, I feel bad for not trying this one. Royston(Pipe Club) knows why we still stock this one. It has been a popular seller, Perique in a ready rubbed form! The tin has been sat in cupnoard at home for a few weeks. I figured the best plan of action was, [...]

Now this cigar, like many I smoke are not at their peak. Much like a 3rd division team (or whatever its called now) I get what’s left. Normally a little worse for wear, split and cracked wrappers. This one had a 1 inch split from the foot, straight upwards. A wee patch and some Gum [...]

I was asked to try one of these, after one of our oldest and biggest customers complained about them. He took 4 to try; one smoked hot and harsh inside the wrapper, one smoked in 20 mins, one fell apart on him and the other was ok. Needless to say he didn’t order the boxes [...]

Another hot day and time for some more smokes. It reached 41 at one point….. Villiger 1888 -Short Robusto Rolled in : Dominican Republic Wrapper : Ecuadorian (some say Conecticut??) Binder : Dominican Republic Filler : Dominican Republic Size: 4″ x 50 Now I only found out Villiger made hand made cigars a few months [...]

I am a fan of the Santa Damiana cigars, BUT i must confess i have never had one of the smaller Panatella. The Corona/Tubulares Extra is my standard, im going to give the Churchill a whirl one of these days. So many cigars & tobaccos not enough time. These “Panatellas” are more of a TPC [...]

I have been neglecting my blog again over the last 2-3 weeks. Been busy with blah,blah, etc, etc. But now im back. I haven’t had a big cigar for the past few weeks. So after Monday i thought it was time for some rich tobacco, i was planning to dig into the Cain 550 Maduro [...]

Well i have been wanting to try one since news came out about them. All hype or something so spectacular they deserve the price tag?? I wasnt that impressed with the Maduro range, so i go into this a little special from the start. I got a box of 10 for the shop a good [...]

A while ago i got a job lot of cigars, a real mixed bag from a friend. Ian ended up with a bag full of boxes of cigars and there was everything. From Hamlets to Villiger & Guantanamera too Cohiba and everything between. I have pretty much finished them all off, i had 2 Vegafina [...]

Now i will admit that i still hadn’t tried a Vasco (until today ;p). Ive had an so-so day at work and ended playing the usual so what am i going to smoke today. My initial plan was to grab one the La Rica – Gordito, but there’s something about the natural wrapper La Ricas [...]
