La Boheme Original Pittore Review »

La Boheme Original Pittore Review It is Ecuadorian wrapper week (and Labor Day Weekend), and this has the same origins of the God Of Fire I will review next.

L’Atelier Selection Speciale LAT38 Review »

L’Atelier Selection Speciale LAT38 Review The LAT38 is a wonderful creation by L’Atelier, the Selection Speciale series by the company is really a work of art in my opinion. The Ecuadorian wrapper balances the blend to perfection. In terms of lancero’s this ranks pretty high on my personal list. I have never done a formal review […]

Oscar Valladares 2014 Island Jim Review This is an interesting one and it isn’t as much as a stretch to find it as you would think. I have come across a couple boxes in different brick and mortar shops on the west coast. That said I only pick up one when I find them because […]

Tatuaje Black Robusto Review »

Tatuaje Black Robusto Review The Tatuaje Black Corona Gorda cigars are works of art. This is a cigar that has been coming in three packs as box buy additions as well as show exclusives. However, it is utilizing the Black Label blend. On that note it shouldn’t be to far off of the now regular […]

Viaje Zombie Antidote Review »

Viaje Zombie Antidote Review (2015) Viaje is a brand that we haven’t visited a lot for reviews. This is a Special release for 2015. The shop also has an exclusive called the “hangover” that is by this company. In all honesty this is one of those cigars that it is harder to come across, but […]
