12 Corona Gordas for the 12 days of Christmas - Starting Christmas Day

Cohiba 1966 2011 Edicion Limitada

I am going to take a break from the review series of the 2012 to smoke a cigar I have been waiting for since last February; the Cohiba 1966 2011 Edicion Limitada. In 1966 the cigars that had become Fidel’s favourites and were only given as diplomatic gifts to heads of states were given a [...]

In Our Memory Of: 2012 Deletions

As I mentioned in a previous post, Habanos’ deletion list for 2012 is long and ugly… Classic cigars such as the Bolivar Corona Extra and the Hoyo Churchill, a well as some great cigars like Trinidad Robusto T, Robusto Extra and the La Gloria Cubana Tainos will no longer be with us from next year.

The Lonsdales of Christmas - Starting Dec 24th

It is Christmas again, and a great time to take out those special cigars from the bottom of the humidor. Last year we went through a robusto for each one of the 12 days of Christmas. It was great fun so I decided to to it again this year, only with a different size. The [...]
