Last week I reviewed the Kinky Friedman "Texas Jewboy" and loved it. The cigar was full of flavor and loaded with medium and full bodied spice. This cigar is a different story.
Today we have the Kinkster bundle cigar from Kinky Friedman, it has a Connecticut shade wrapper and appears to be of … Continue reading the story "Kinky Friedman “Kinkster” Bundle Cigar Review"
Since the meltdown from holt's and Don Pepin Garcia leaving Padilla to fend for themselves, we are left with questions on whether or not the new blends can keep up with what the masterful DPG was able to create.
Today I have the new blend Padilla Miami Churchill to give a whirl(Thank you Dan - MadMonk). The new Miami 8-11 is made in Honduras, a definite change from Nicaragua. The band is … Continue reading the story "The New Padilla Miami Churchill Cigar Review"
Among one of the most original names for a cigar the, "Texas Jewboy" lies one of the most original Texan cowboys. Kinky Friedman is known for his politics, but not a lot of people know he has his own cigar line... unless you live in Texas of course. The 5 different vitolas he has specially blended himself are all "Texas Sized" in that the smallest ring gauge is "The Willie" weighing in at around a 48 ring gauge … Continue reading the story "Kinky Friedman Texas JewBoy Cigar Review"Fine, Just Fine
Spend even a little time around cigars and you'll see and hear the word "fine" used to describe some of them—many of them, most likely, if you're spending that time around premium cigar sellers and smokers of premium cigars. There's no specific … Continue reading the story "Fine, Just Fine – A post by Cigars Direct"
This Dunhill Signed Range has been a cigar on my wish list to smoke for a long time. I have heard nothing but good things about this cigar and couldn't wait to fire it up for myself. It is a very good looking cigar with a great build. The blend consists of Dominican Piloto Cubano and South American Cubita leaf picked from the top of the plant, where … Continue reading the story "Dunhill Signed Range Toro Cigar Review"

This is yet another creation from the men behind Tatuaje and Cabiguan, Pete Johnson and Don Pepin Garcia. Although this was an enjoyable stick, it's not their best. The cigar was more on the medium side with some sweet notes and pepper. The burn wasn't the best either as i had a side runner for awhile.
It was really cold in my garage that day though and I don't have a … Continue reading the story "Cabiguan Belicoso Fino Quick Cigar Review"
As far as strong full bodied smokes go, this one takes the cake. Don't get me wrong there are some wonderful flavors and the burn is perfect all the way through, but you need to eat a full meal and have a sugary snack around for this one. For me that sugary snack was a wonderful Samuel Adams Chocolate Bock. It paired quite well with this stick as … Continue reading the story "La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel Cigar Review"
Illusione is the creation of one Dion Giolito, who hails from Reno, Nevada. There has been some controversy about the names of the vitolas that Dion has created. Some people were saying they had hidden meaning and conspiracy theories were connected. These theories were put to rest though when Dion came out and stated exactly what each name represented. This is what he said about the ~hl~:

A rare holiday cigar put out by the Fuentes sure is a great treat. This is the WOAM as most people call it and is a Work of Art as it is called. A very toothy dark and sweet maduro wrapper give this cigar a wonderful appearence.  It is nice and firm in the hand with superb construction.
The flavors are of sweetness and pepper. The draw is flawless with ample amounts of smoke. As I … Continue reading the story "A.Fuente Work of Art Maduro WOAM Cigar Review"
