Today we will be taking a look at a cigar that has been in my humidor for a few years now, the Fuente Fuente OpusX Reserva D’Chateau. This cigar is from 2007 and one of the reasons I am reviewing it is I believe that OpusX cigars really turn into something beautiful in that 3-5 [...]

And cigar news… (Going to have to find a way to keep the intros interesting, which might be difficult.) This past week was dominated by the XIII Festival del Habano in Cuba and all of the events that make-up what is perhaps the most interesting cigar festival. Outside of Havana, there was still quite a [...]

Ethically, doing a recap on an event I didn’t attend is probably a mortal sin; however it’s Habanosfest. Actually, my decision for this post is solely to make the weekly news more readable (and a bit shorter) without compromising any of the important events from the world’s most famous cigar festival. Unlike some of the [...]

Since we couldn’t break the story about Crowned Heads, Jon Huber’s new company, we decided it was time for some Davidoff news. I’m a big fan of the Swiss brand and their approach to cigars and while what’s after the jump is quite a bit of news, this isn’t a State of the Brand. — el [...]

Today we will be taking a look at the Tatuaje Federal Cigar 109 Rosado. Yesterday we posted the review of the Reserva with the Connecticut Broadleaf wrapper that was limited to 100 boxes of 25. At the time of this review the Reserva is completely SOLD OUT, but don’t fret, the Rosado IS AVAILABLE and [...]

A year ago I attended a Tatuaje event at Federal Cigar and spoke with Rick Gadway, owner of Federal Cigar, about an Exclusive Series Pete Johnson was going to do for his store. Rick explained to me that he requested a 109 vitola for his stores 90th Anniversary that was coming up, but didn’t really get [...]

At the end of each Monday, I wonder what cigar news we could possibly have for next week, each week we seem to deliver. It’s Cuba’s most popular cigar week as the XIII Festival del Habano takes place, including the much-anticipated debuts of the Montecristo Gran Reserva and the Cohiba 1966; in addition, a few [...]

In the past couple weeks, two of Drew Estate’s lesser-known Liga Privada projects have had some light shed on them. The first was the Liga Privada MF13, a prototype blend based off of the T52 which will be featured at a few special tasting events; the second was the announcement last week that the Ratzilla, [...]

For those of you that don’t know… About 6 months ago, the people at Tobacco Grove in Minnesota contacted Tatuaje Cigars owner Pete Johnson about having a special cigar release (much like his recent and ongoing “Singe Store” releases) for his store…The problem (as with any Tatuaje Single Store release) is deciding on a vitola [...]

Today we will be taking a look at a much anticipated prerelease cigar, the Liga Privada L40. Liga Privada cigars have always been known to float around in prerelease form for quite some time now. It’s a wonderful chance for people to sample blends that will be made in the future and sometimes blends that [...]
