The Final Cigar Lounge Visit at IPCPR – A Visit to the CAO Lounge (Tales from the IPCPR Part 19)

Stace (L), CAO Rep (M), Cigar Coop (R) Every person loves cigars seems to have their favorite brand.  For myself, it is CAO.  I really did not get exposed to CAO until I moved to North Carolina two years ago.  My next door neighbor gave me a Brazilia and someone gifted me some CAO Visions. […]

Cigar Review: La Reloba Sumatra

The La Reloba Sumatra Toro The theme of producing a quality value-priced cigar in the $5.00 – $7.00 range is appealing to both the consumer and the retailer.    For the consumer, it’s a terrific opportunity to enjoy a premium stick in today’s tough economy.  For the retailer, it means that the cigar isn’t going to […]

Cigar Review: Esteban Carreras 5150 Torpedo

As mentioned in Part 11 of Tales from the IPCPR, one key thing I look for in an Indie Cigar maker is to find a cigar that is going to standout and bring something different to the table.  For those who follow the Indie Cigar market and have encountered Craig Cunningham’s Esteban Carreras line, they […]

Cigar Review: Gurkha Vintage Shaggy Maduro

Today I pulled out a cigar I haven’t had in about a year.   Once I pulled this one out, I realized how much I missed this one.   This one was the Gurkha Vintage Shaggy Maduro.   With all of the focus around the new IPCPR 2010 releases, I think its good once in a while to […]

Family Pride:  A Visit to the Toraño Family Cigar Lounge  (Tales from the IPCPR Part 18)

Cigar Coop with the Legendary Carlos Torano Before IPCPR began, there was a lot of buzz around Torano Cigars.  Prior to July 2010, distribution for Torano products was handled by CAO Cigars.  With the pending merger between Swedish Match and Scandinavian Tobacco having a direct input on CAO’s future, a decision was made for Torano […]

Assessment Rating

September 6, 2010 William Cooper Uncategorized No Comments Cigar Coop

So folks, I’ve been asked about putting a scoring system on my cigar ratings.  I think a lot of people can do this better than me, but I have come-up with an assessment system that I’m thinking of putting on my cigar reviews going forward.  I will not assess a “Pre-Review” cigar as these reviews […]

More Scary Thoughts – No Cigar Pleasure in your own home

September 6, 2010 William Cooper Uncategorized No Comments Pleasure Police, Yellow Alert

This is scary stuff. Good thing even a liberal newspaper calls for this madness to stop. The idea of not being to light up a cigar or any tobacco product in your own abode is just crazy.  This also takes the rights of the landlord away When does the madness stop?  Attention Tacoma-Pierce County, Washington […]

Pre-Review: The Viaje Satori

My Viaje Satori In the “indie” cigar market (or commonly called boutique cigar market), Viaje has been building a reputation that is helping distinguish themselves from their competition.   Viaje has been employing a “micro batch” process for its cigar releases.  Namely, it is producing the majority of its boxes in small batches (i.e. under 500 […]

A Man in Action:  A Visit to the Perdomo Cigar Lounge (Tales from the IPCPR Part 17)

Entrance to the Perdomo Lounge My visit to Perdomo Cigar Lounge at IPCPR was one of the more interesting ones.   During the week at IPCPR, I noticed there was a flurry of activity in this booth/lounge.  And it wasn’t just me as I have seen a lot written that this was one of the busier […]

Cigar 102: To Cello or not to Cello

This question came from my good friend John.  Thanks John for some of the great “Cigar 102” suggestions and I will keep them coming.  Q: Should I leave the cellophane on my cigar wrapper or take it off? A: I hate to use that standard consulting answer, but “it depends”.   This could be almost […]
