PDR 1878 Get One PDQ
It’s easy to write about this cigar. And there is plenty to write. Abe Flores of PDR Cigars was born to make great cigars and this is no exception. When you first look at this stick it seems unusual. Many cigars today are called shaggy foot sticks. They have binder and filler that extends beyond the wrapper creating a shaggy foot to the cigar. But that is not what you find here....
Cordoba & Morales Family Reserve Great Complex Flavor
What can you say about an up and coming your cigar company that is founded in a hundred year old tradition. With a background in the Pinar del Rio area of Cuba, grandma taught them how to grow and blend. Today they use twenty-first century marketing to bring their cigars to us. When I reach into the humidor and find a cigar from Cordoba & Morales I know that I am going to enjoy...
J&D Allure
I’m sure I met the cigar maker of J&D Cigars last year at the industry trade show. I just don’t remember. There were so many people to meet and so many cigars to taste. It was overwhelming.

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. He has had plenty of experience in the industry and after selling his previous business decide to get back to making cigars again. The C&C brand is currently grabbing lots of attention. Just the other day I was smoking with a colleague from Los Angeles...
Pedro Martin Ruby- Precious
When Maria Martin left Comacho to go back to her own family business it was a signal that people would now begin to realize how good the Pedro Martin Family cigars were. Her father knew how to make cigars and she knows how to sell them. This is the second of the Martin Family cigars that I have smoked and I have been happy with both. This one had a particularly interesting flavor...
