Cigar Review: Room101 Cigars

November 8, 2009

I was kind of skeptical when I first started hearing about this cigar. Probably one of the first cigar promotions that I’ve seen make heavy use of the Internet as they have. My local shop got them in a few weeks ago so I finally had a chance to give it a try. The Room101 [...]

Cigar Review: Perdomo Gran Cru Maduro

August 4, 2009

  Alright, you’ve probably noticed my reviews have been getting a bit shorter lately. I’m trying to find a good balance between detail and length. I’ve smoked all of the available sizes over the past few weeks in both the maduro and natural wrappers. The Gran Cru is a Nicaraguan Puro from Perdomo’s 2004 crop. [...]
