Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 7: Partagas Serie D No. 3 EL 2001

It is new year’s eve and I have chosen a special cigar for tonight, to farewell 2011. My corona gorda for tonight is the Partagas Serie D No.3 Edicion Limitada 2001. Although it was meant to be released in 2001, most of the D no.3’s were actually released in 2002, as the Cubans realized they didn’t have enough [...]

Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 6: Saint Luis Rey Serie A

It’s day six of this series of reviews and I am hoping that today’s cigar will keep the momentum of the great smokes I have had in the last couple of days. Today I am smoking one of the less popular corona gordas in the market today, the Saint Luis Rey Serie A. The SLR [...]

Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 4: Hoyo de Monterrey Epicure No.1

My cold is not getting any better and smoking three cigars with the gang last night surely didn’t help. But we had a fantastic night and we all enjoyed it. The 4th Transnational Tasting next year will be something to look forward  to. Despite not being in the best of conditions to smoke another cigar, [...]

Our group was invited to participate in the 3rd Transnational Cigar Tasting, organised by the Russian Cigar Union, that took place on December 27th 2011.

Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 2: Punch Punch Punch

If Christmas Day is all about the kids, Stephen’s day has to be all about the adults. Winding down from Christmas day madness, with the kids occupied with their new toys, and more football and racing on the television than you can take, Stephen’s day has to be one of the best days of the [...]

Christmas Corona Gordas, Day 1: H.Upmann Magnum 46

I decided to start with the first review a little earlier than I was supposed to. Santa will be paying us a visit soon and three excited little men will be up very early to see what’s under the tree for them. So the rest of the day is going to be pretty much all [...]

In Our Memory Of: Sancho Panza Molinos

So here we are with the last of the cigars from the “deletion” list of 2012, the Sancho Panza Molino. The Molino was one of the Lonsdale I reviewed around this time last year and I was pleasantly surprised from it. Its deletion will leave this small brand with only two cigars in current production, [...]

In Our Memory Of: Bolivar Corona Extra

The biggest shock of all the cigars in the deletion list is the presence of one of the best Bolivars available on the market today, the Corona Extra. Since Rob and Smithy from Friends of Habanos posted their video expressing their feelings about the future if this cigar, the interest on them has sparked again. [...]
