Cigar Review: La Gloria Cubana Wavell Natural

April 30, 2008

La Gloria Cubana is in General Cigar’s large brand of products, and this particular line is made in their factory in Miami.  I actually picked this up at a rolling event at my local cigar store–they had two of the rollers from the factory in Miami and were teaching customers how to roll the wrapper.  I learned from this experience that I shouldn’t quit my day job and move to the Dominican Republic–my rolling job was terrible.

Cigar Review: Avalon Juke Series Ebony

April 29, 2008

I had never heard of Avalon Cigars until recently, when I read this post over at the Stogie Review. This company, which seems to be relatively new, is all about the Web, and perhaps is trying to market itself to the MySpace crowd.

Cigar Review: Punch Cafe Royal Maduro

April 28, 2008

After I finished smoking the Cafe Royal Maduro and looked at my notes I realized I wasn’t sure what I smoked. General Cigar’s website wasn’t a huge help, so it was a great excuse to run down to the The Party Source and find out.

Cigar Review: Perdomo Habano Maduro Torpedo

April 23, 2008

Alight, on to the cigar itself. The Perdomo Habano Maduro and Corojo were released in 2007 and contain a blend of Nicaraguan tobacco from three different growing regions. I grabbed a handful of the torpedoes a few weeks ago, and found myself quickly smoking my way through them. Monday I picked up a few more so I could stop delaying and write the review.

Cigar Review: Jameson Short Torpedo

April 21, 2008

Luis Sanchez has been a great supporter of this site, always seeing that I get something new of his to try out. The newest cigar to come out of his factory in the Dominican Republic is the Jameson. These cigars are made for the Jameson Cigar Co. by La Tradicion Cubana. I honestly don’t know much about the Jameson Cigar Co, but I’ve enjoyed most of the cigars I’ve had coming from La Tradicion Cubana so I was eager to give it a try.

Altadis U.S.A Website Review

April 18, 2008

I decided I’d go ahead and work through some of the bigger manufacturer sites and see how they are doing things. Altadis U.S.A. is one of the juggernauts of the cigar world producing brands like Gispert, H. Upmann, Monte Cristo, and Romeo y Julieta. So how does their website stack up?
