Emilio AF2 A rule of thumb I have is if you are looking to build a brand to carry in a retailer humidor, the key thing is there must be three blends that are solid from that brand. Over the past couple of months, I have sampled two amazing cigars from Emilio Cigars – the […]
The La Sirena Series A A few days ago, I was listening to the Dino Costa Radio show on Sirius XM Mad-Dog radio. While Dino is primarily known a sports host, he has been talking cigars. On this show, Dino had Rocky Patel as a guest (and gave Rocky a full hour!). Rocky made a […]

J&D Temptation Maduro Last month, I had the opportunity to sample a cigar that I consider to be one of the revelations of 2011 – J&D Cigars’ Temptation Habano Claro.

However, recently I heard a discussion about how some soils of the Cuban […]
