Week of Reviews
For the Cigar of the Week we will be doing the
Cugine by Arganese Cigars. For those who do not know, Cugine is from Joe Gannascoli aka "Vito" of The Sopranos. We got a chance to meet him and pick up a stick at the Cigar Heritage Festival in Tampa, FL in historical Ybor City. We also will be putting up a review of both
Jonesy Rare Aged Port and a cigar pairing with
Delirium Nocturnum.
**UPDATE**
Our first pairing review
Delirium Nocturnum has been added. I paired mine with a
Nub Cameroon and Dario who will be adding his later tonight went with a
Peterson. Also the
Jonesy Rare Aged Port review should be posted tonight and the
Cugine will be posted either Friday or Saturday.
Jonesy Rare Aged Port is up. I had the review for the Delirium pairing up but as I was adding it, my server decided to timeout. I will retry to add the review later in the day.
Mucho News
Hello all, we got a few things to say this time around. First, the review for this week is a little different than the rest. We will be doing the
Acid Ming Dynasty to mix things up.
**UPDATE**
The
Drew Estate Acid Ming Dynasty Review has been added.
If you have not noticed there is a new addition to the search in the
Cigar Ratings Page. You can now
view by brand instead of typing in the name.
Since we have received a good response thus far on the cigar reviews, we are deciding on doing some other cigar related type reviews. Starting later in the month we will start doing reviews on wines and beer. Both Frank and I are avid beer drinkers and myself a wine snob. We will be doing two types of reviews - Those with the drink by itself and pairing it with a cigar. With these we hope to make your cigar experience a better one.
**UPDATE**
While picking up some beer and ports last night I noticed some spirits I would also like to use in the review. So spirits wil be added to the mix, some examples would be Chivas, Crown Royal and Makers Mark to name a few.
And last is the
Cigar Rating Contest. We have put an ensemble of cigars together to give away to the top three users who put up the most ratings*. We will start the competition once we get the Mass Add added to the myHumidor page for those who need to add alot of cigars at once.
* - There will be 5 cigars per winner that will be displayed once we start the competition. First place will get to pick their five, then second will pick and third will get the rest. We tried to get harder to find cigars plus great cigars in general. Plus I have added a bonus that the first place will more than likely take. And for any who are worried,
Cubano will not be part of the competition. Enjoy the rest of your week and for those who did not see it, the Dolphins are over .500! Not a Dolphins fan, but promised the girlfriend I would put it up here for her.
La Aurora Barrel Aged and Members Page
For this week, we will be reviewing
La Aurora Barrel Aged and have it posted by Wednesday morning. For anybody having issues with the
Members Page, we are aware of the issue and are currently working to resolve it. We are getting all the additions to the Members Page added, so kinda like two birds one stone approach. Also, Frank and I are thinking about having a little contest to get the amount of
Cigar Ratings up, so keep posted for further details.
**UPDATE**
We got
La Aurora Barrel Aged Review up as well as the
Members Page fixed with changes.
We have also added the
Oliva Serie V, Ovlia Serie V Maduro, La Aurora Barrel Aged, My Father, and Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend to the database. From now on we will be adding the Cigar of the Week line into the database before posting the review.
Oliva Serie V Maduro Review & Xikar
Hello smokers, I posted my half of the
Oliva Serie V Maduro Review and Frank will be adding his soon. I will warn all of you, it was not pretty. I hope your experiences far surpass mine.
The
Xikar review that should of been posted last week will be posted on Thursday as well.
**UPDATE**
Alright, Frank finally got his part of the review and his went by alot better. I spoke with Bryan at Tampa Humidor (Assistant Manager) and he has not heard anyone that came across the same problem as I did so lets hope I am the only one. We also got the
Xikar Xi2 Noir/Black Review up as well. Happy Halloween to everyone and for those of you who were able to get the "Frank" cigar, hopefully the smoke lived up to the hype.
Hoyo Excalibur Challenge Review & Oliva V Update
Sorry for the wait on the
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend Challenger Review. We got caught up in the World Series, but we finally got it up. We'll be looking to post another accessory review as well as a cigar from last year that stood out to us. Keep posted for more.
**UPDATE**
We just updated the
Hoyo de Monterrey Excalibur Legend Challenger review with another perspective from
Cubano. The review this week will be for the
Oliva Serie V Torpedo Maduro. Hopefully the review is up by tomorrow or no later than Thursday morning. Enjoy the week and puff up.
