Initial Thoughts Do you ever have those moments when you’re standing staring at something trying to make the decision between two options? For me it happens almost every Tuesday night when I go down to Sweet CeCe’s to get ice cream. It’s two punch Tuesday which means you get double punches on your rewards card [...]

Initial Thoughts About a month ago I walked into my local wine and spirits store. I was lured in through their Facebook posting for a tasting event. They were offering tastings of a new local product called Whisper Creek Tennessee Sipping Cream. I had no clue going in what in the hell this would be, but I’m [...]

Initial Thoughts I’ve been a fan of EP Carrillo for quite some time. His New Wave Connecticut series was fantastic. He’s also responsible for delivering incredible blends for the Four Kicks and the Headley Grange. When I heard there was a new release from EPC on the market I went searching for it immediately. I [...]

Initial Thoughts I know I may be a little late to the party on finding this cigar, but the Illusione Epernay is absolutely incredible cigar. There’s a reason it was voted #3 cigar last year by Cigar Aficionado. So what took me so long to try it? Well, I’m not sure, but I can tell you why [...]

Initial Thoughts The Draig K is a very unique cigar. I was actually told it’s a cigar for “tobacco nerds”. This cigar is very unique on the outside and I’m sure it has a lot in store for me on the inside as well. There is a great backstory about this stick that Gary has told on [...]

This is Jeremy (@jyow617). I am not Eric. However, Eric has provided me the opportunity to do a guest review on his site, so I am taking him up on it. My plan is to ruin his reputation as a legitimate review blogger and ensure that my future site will stand no chance of being [...]

The Emilio AF Suave, AF stands for A.J. Fernandez who blended this cigar for Emilio cigars. Suave is Spanish for smooth or elegant. A little bit of the back story on [...]

Initial Thoughts Are you ready for part two of #EmilioCigarWeek ? We kicked it off yesterday with the Emilio Series H. Today I’m taking a look at the Los Regalos Quetzal. This cigar caught my eye the most out of all the cigars that were sent to me by Gary Griffith. After doing a little digging and checking around.This [...]
