Cain F Lancero – A Nice Smoke
So let me start out by saying this is not my typical smoke. I have never really been a thin cigar guy and, I expect to continue to prefer a fatter cigar. Nevertheless, being first and foremost a ‘cigar guy’, I like all kinds of sticks. This is an interesting shape. The Lancero used to be very popular years ago, but has waned in popularity recently. However, there has been...
Esteban Carreras 211
When I recently opened the humidor for something to smoke I came across this stick about which I knew nothing. I’m sure that I got it at an event somewhere, but I have no other details. If you have info on this cigar please leave a comment. Nevertheless, I did some research and found out that the 211 is a police code for a robbery. And Carreras has made other cigars using this...

Charlie Torano, whose motto is ‘Make Time to Burn” wants to...
La Flor Dominica Diademas Duo

When I opened the humidor I found this beauty from Litto Gomez. Diademas is a figurado shape, this one with a nipple tip, widening out to about a 50 ring gauge and then slowly tapering to the head fo...
