Ramon Allones Beritus - RE Libano

RickMG
I was asked by my friend Yiorgos Manesis to meet at the Morgan Hotel with him and another friend, Dara Weston, while I was visiting Dublin.  He wanted me to try a cigar and to write a review for him.  I think I would be considered only a moderate cigar smoker since usually I will just smoke 3-4 cigars a week, and have [...]

The Greco was released [...]

2010 Regional Editions - preliminary list

The total number of vitolas proposed for 2010 is 21, less than the 25 in the 2009 Regional Edition Series. That seems like a good move from Habanos, however the regions granted new vitolas are [...]
