Cain Nub Habano
This is a go to cigar. Whenever I am looking for a small but powerful end to the evening this is what I reach for. When you first take the cigar out of its cellophane, it has a fragrant almost floral aroma which belies the power it packs. The wrapper is a medium shade of brown, smooth and silky. Nub is available in 4 blends each with slightly different flavor profiles. The Habano,...
Brickhouse is just that!
Sometimes you don’t know what to make of a cigar. You light it, and enjoy it and only then do you form an opinion. So it was with this cigar. Taking it our of the humidor, I noticed a slight crack in the wrapper at the foot but this was probably because it was obtained at a trade show.

The cigars were all in good shape and some of that was thanks to the Boveda humidifying pack that comes in every...
Rocky Patel Renaissance Churchill
I am usually pretty tense after a long plane ride. Not because I’m afraid of flying but rather due to all of the tumult involved. So, it was with anticipation that I unwrapped this offering from Rocky Patel. Because I live in southwest Florida, I run into Rocky regularly and frequently tell him he makes a good cigar. This one looked like a beauty. It had a nice medium brown wrapper...
