reviewing good and bad cigars
so you don't buy the bad ones!
So while I still smoke everyday I have been tied up with a ton of freelance so I am having to bunch these up for the last couple weeks. I have picked 5 form the past couple weeks but since some are repeats that I just wanted to smoke again. The best two first… Since […]
New review for the Hammer + Sickle La Habana Tradicion Serie. Read about it here: /todays-pick-quick-review-hammer-sickle-la-habana-tradicion-serie/
Quick Intro Let me start by saying the marketing behind the Hammer & Sickle brand is pretty heavy.

Quick Info The JFR – “Just For Retailers” is a normally a brand that I would pass right over but the packaging looked interesting and the placement in the shop was with some cigars that I prefer. When I picked it up to inspect it I noticed a heavy cocoa smell to it almost like […]
Sorry everyone I have about three plus reviews waiting but I have been a touch busy to sit down and post them. More photos coming for the Cain F Tour as well!
