Hey Federal Trade Commission. You’re telling me and all the other bloggers that if we get paid for an endorsement, we damn well better disclose that fact, or face a penalty of $11,000. Well no one has ever paid me for an endorsement, and if they ever had I wouldn’t need you to tell me […]

The weather here in Southern California has been crazy, dipping down into the low 60s! I had to search through the back of my closet to find a light jacket in order to go outside to smoke a cigar. They’ll probably close schools and stuff until we get back into the 70s. Nonetheless, I braved […]

I have not yet persuaded the American Psychiatric Association to include this disorder in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, better known as the DSM-IV, but I am pushing for inclusion of a disorder I have named Competitive Compassion Disorder, or CCD. You see the classic example of CCD every time you go […]

A federal judge in Manhattan once again backed up Cubatabaco, which accused General Cigar of “exploiting the reputation and goodwill of the Cuban Cohiba.” Cohibas are among the […]

Thinking of going to one of the Big Smoke events sponsored by Cigar Aficionado? A few days ago I attended The Big Smoke in Las Vegas, and here are my impressions. I attended only the night portion of the event, not the day seminars or whatever it is they do, so keep that in mind. […]

I picked up a cigar made by Maker’s Mark in celebration of their 10th anniversary. I didn’t know Maker’s Mark made cigars, and since their bourbon has been around since 1933, I don’t know what 10th anniversary they are celebrating (even their website offers no clue). But they make a fine bourbon, so I bought […]

A friend once told me that fake Cuban cigars are so rampant, that even when he travels to Havana, most of the Cuban cigars he is offered in the streets are fakes (real Cuban cigars most likely, but with fake labels.) When you get alleged Cubans on-line or when your favorite cigar store sells you […]

After my recent hefeweizen shoot-out, where In Heat Wheat was the popular favorite, I thought I should pick up a couple more and make sure the conclusion was supported. Yep; we were right. That’s one really good hefeweizen. While enjoying my In Heat Wheat, I opened November’s Cigar of the Month Club shipment from Cigar.com. The […]

I found a very cool cigar store in Tustin, California in late 2008. Between my cigar of the month clubs and purchases at the 8Eightyeight lounge I don’t make it to brick and mortar cigar stores very often, including Tony’s Fine Cigars at Red Hill and El Camino Real. However, a buddy needed to buy […]
