Gran Habano 2010 -Grand Indeed
Recently I was looking through the humidor without real purpose. Sometimes when I go to the humidor I am looking for a particular cigar, or a particular size or strength. For some reason I seemed to just be staring aimlessly at the box wondering what to smoke. And the Gran Reserva caught my eye. Perhaps it was the packaging, not really sure. But, not knowing what to expect, and being...
C&C LRMD – Nice!
This is an interesting new brand that we are reviewing today. C&C is the brainchild of Joe Chisano the founder of Cusano Cigars.

This blend was then named the South Beach Edition of the SWAG cigar. It is meant to convey that...
Marco V Brazilian
The life of a cigar reviewer is tough. What do I smoke today? “Oh, come on” you say. Actually, there are times when I’m in the mood for something reliable in a cigar, an old friend, if you will.
