2019 In Review

Time to look back on 2019 and some of the things that happened in my slice of the cigar world…and get ready for #COTY2019
Cigar Review: La Libertad by Villiger

I first encountered La Libertad over 8 years ago…it’s undergone some changes in the time since, but it’s still a fine cigar.
Cigar Review: M. Esteli by Bombay Tobak

Don’t be fooled by the name…this cigar has little to do with Esteli, Nicaragua…but the M. Esteli is still a very good cigar
Cigar Review: Caldwell Long Live The King A.J. Fernandez

Caldwell and A.J. Fernandez got busy together a while back and we got a few new blends, including this Nicaraguan version of Long Live The King
Cigar Review: Caldwell The King is Dead A.J. Fernandez

Two modern cigar legends got together and this happened…a Nicaraguan version of The King is Dead combines the minds of Robert Caldwell and A.J. Fernandez
Cigar Review: Micallef Herencia Maduro

I’ve been wanting to review something from the Micallef portfolio for a while…I finally got a chance to pick up a Herencia Maduro on my latest California trip
Cigar Review: The T Habano by Booth, Caldwell, & Fernandez

A collaboration of 3 might just be called a conspiracy…whatever the case, The T Habano is a nice followup by Booth, Caldwell, and Fernandez
Cigar Review: Room101 Farce Maduro

Matt Booth keeps busy in the cigar business with the Farce Maduro, a fine follow-up to a blend that was part of his comeback
Cigar Review: Illusione Cigares Prive

Originally designated as a limited edition store exclusive, Illusione more recently opened up the Cigares Prive to everyone
Cigar Review: Laranja Escuro by Espinosa Cigars

Espinosa made a follow-up to their ground-breaking Laranja blend…the Laranja Escuro is dark, rich and wonderful.
