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 [...]

One of the great days in Havana was the one we spent in El Laguito. Thursday February 24th was the day of the official factory tour. While the [...]

The Lonsdales of Christmas, Day 2 - Cohiba Siglo V

The Christmas-y part of the day is over. Presents are exchanged, dinner is over, kitchen is clean, visitors are gone and everyone else is snoring on the couch. Time for the fun part! I said yesterday I was unsure of what cigar to smoke today, but on the back of my head I was almost sure [...]

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 [...]
