The “recommended” cigars are a Nub Habano, 466 (4″ x 66) and a Rocky Patel Fusion, Torpedo (6.2″ x 52). I’ve […]

Snuck off for a late afternoon cigar break with a Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic. My review of a Don Pepin Garcia two days ago was not favorable, and I wanted to give the brand another chance. I was not impressed. As much as I want to like this brand, it being made in the […]

I seem to recall on the Drew Carey Show, the characters experimented with a coffee/beer combination, thinking it would be a natural – the coffee would keep you awake to drink more beer. The concoction turned out horrible, but that didn’t stop them from drinking it anyway. To give me fodder for my blog, friends […]

Gurkha Black Dragon Robusto (4.5″ x 52) I’m trying to remain a Gurkha fan, but it’s becoming more difficult. There are a number of Gurkha’s that I genuinely like, including the Titan and the Grand Reserve Churchill, infused with Louis XIII Cognac.

Running a $60 billion ponzi scheme takes a lot of work. It involves long hours drafting false trade tickets, and you can’t escape that ever nagging feeling in the back of your mind that the Feds may come a knockin’. So what cigar does such a pillar of the financial community, Bernard Madoff, smoke? Or […]

An American beer company is opening a brewery in China. It’s the first time this company built a brewery from scratch outside the United States. China represents both a major challenge and a tempting opportunity for brewers: Per capita beer drinking is low and tough competitors abound, but what a huge market to crack! But […]

Erdinger Hefeweizen The German brewer hyphenates the name to hefe-weizen. Maybe that’s a German thing, like putting a name in quotes to mean it’s not really that thing. I say that because while the beer was not bad by any measure, it did not taste anything like a wheat beer. German wheat beers are called […]
