The History of H. Upmann Cigars

April 20, 2007

BlogCritics.org has a great read regarding the history of H. Upmann Cigars. It’s hard to think about good cigars without doing two things: thinking of H. Upmann, and drooling. To many cigar lovers, H. Upmann is the cream of the crop, the apex of ashes. Sold under two brands, one made by Habanos SA in [...]

April 19, 2007

Well I turned 30 today. Got any suggestions for a cigar to smoke for my birthday? I’m thinking I may breakdown and buy a Partagas 160 or smoke the Ashton VSG a friend gifted me a few weeks ago. Edit: I meant the 160 not the 150. I wish I could find a 150. heh

April 16, 2007
