In 2008 Tatuaje Cigars released the La Riqueza line. After 9 years, and 13 vitolas, the line was removed from their price list, though not completely discontinued. In March of 2022 Tatuaje released a new vitola, and slightly tweaked blend, of this cigar under the name La Riqueza SE. I have seen that cigar getting plenty of hype, and I guess it was stuck in my mind when I grabbed my cigar for review today. I dug up a 2014 La Riqueza No. 7 I had in my humidor. I actually stumbled upon some of these that were buried in...

Today’s review is a bit unconventional in that I have limited details on this cigar. I am smoking the Illusione Cigars SSR. This Rothchilde is a new blend from Illuisone that is only available at retail shops that hold events. I picked this cigar up at a shop and cannot seem to recall the price, but I think it was around $6ish maybe? As for the country of origin, factory, and blend, I can’t confirm any of it. I was told that the cigar has Corojo 2012 Viso, but I do not know what portion of the blend that is....

I’ve been meaning to replace the nut on my FeatherFoot guitar. I have just been putting it off for awhile for fear that I wouldn’t have a chance to finish when I started. However, I finally went ahead and got some String Joy strings I’ve been wanting to try and while I’m changing strings, I might as well make and install the new bone nut.  I grabbed an Apostate Cigars The Liahona to smoke while I worked on this job. This is the last of the three initial blends from Apostate that I need to review. I have been very...

I have been familiar with Paul Garmirian Cigars for quite some time, however, up to this review I had only smoked one of their cigars. I was very excited when I received another PG cigar as a surprise gift from a very generous cigar smoking friend. The 25th Anniversary Connoisseur was released in 2015 to celebrate 25 years of PG Cigars. According to the PG website:  “The cigar transitions effortlessly, many have called it, “A Masterpiece” A beautiful dark and oily Oscuro Maduro wrapper, four complex fillers and a Dominican barrel aged binder produce a rich, complex and balanced smoke...

Every year it seems like the grass - and, unfortunately, weeds - shoot up over night. Then, before you know it, you can barely see the pigs grazing and the chickens have to jump to pick grass seed. So today I have to do some bush hogging to catch up. I grabbed a Blind Man’s Bluff Nicaragua to smoke while mowing. I have smoked, and enjoyed, the regular Blind Man’s Bluff, the Connecticut, and the Maduro. I am anxious to see how an all Nicaraguan blend from Caldwell smokes.  Country of Origin: Honduras Factory: STG Danli Wrapper: Nicaraguan Habano Binder:...
