Cigar Review: Padron 6000 Maduro

June 19, 2008

Construction: While the one I smoked for this review was beautiful, these have been hit and miss recently. I’ve had some that look like absolute crap. They shouldn’t have even left the factory.

June 18, 2008

Los Tabaqueros is a short documentary focusing on the people who make cigars. Filmed in a cigar factory in the Calle Ocho District of Miami, FL, it is a behind the scenes look at cigar making.

June 17, 2008

Blue Havana in Chicago has a free monthly smoke that I enjoy attending. But to truly get an idea of the type of shop it is, consider this: It’s part of The Alley group of stores on Belmont Avenue, a trendy little strip on the city’s North Side.

June 16, 2008

I hate to tell you but the Ang Lee version sucked ass, at least I heard this one is pretty good because it stays true to the comic book. Violence? No Problem we’ll get you a G rating. Smoking? OH NO! We better make it NC-17!

Cigar Review: La Aurora Connoisseur Selection Cameroon

June 16, 2008

I’ve done the Brazil and the Corojo so today I move on to the La Aurora Connoisseur Selection Cameroon. One of my favorite Cameroon wrappered cigars is made by La Aurora so I was eager to give this one a try. My one fear is that the Corojo would over power the Cameroon. So let’s get started…
