Cigar Review: Torano Exodus 50 Years

January 15, 2010

Considering I’ve smoked over a box of the Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 50 Years Short Churchills it was time to write the review. I meant to write it about a month ago, but the holidays and the kids bringing home colds to share forced me to cut back on how much I’ve been smoking. The [...]

Cigar Review: Dona Flor Selecao Robusto

August 25, 2008

Another Cigar I picked up while at the IPCPR Tradeshow in Las Vegas. This cigar has been on my must try again list ever since I’d gotten my hands on one over a year ago. The Selecao got a 92 rating in Cigar Aficionado so it could get even harder to find.

Cigar Review: CAO Brazilia Gol!

May 8, 2008

The CAO Brazilia has long been one of my favorite smokes–I always have a couple on hand in my humidor. It’s perfect for a quiet, contemplative smoke, which is what I was in the mood for tonight. So I grabbed one of these and headed outside with my MP3 player to enjoy a smoke on the porch. My wife was kind enough to bring me two fingers of scotch to go with it (Talisker Single Malt, Aged 18 Years), and I found that the combination of a beautiful spring evening, some Johnny Cash, and a great cigar and scotch pairing made for a fantastic evening.
