I was looking around my humidor for a cigar to review, and wondered how I came to be in possession of not one, not two, but five Alec Bradley Select Cabinet Reserve Robustos. Then I remembered that I won them in a raffle at the 8Eightyeight Cigar Lounge in Fullerton. Thanks 8Eightyeight. Dang, I hope it’s a […]

I picked a great pair tonight! The fine, fine people at BnB Tobacco sent me some cigars to review, and with the weather on the Lido Deck finally back to cigar smoking temperatures, I was able to grab one for tonight’s tasting, paired with a nice Belgian-style ale from The Bruery. Undercrown by Drew Estate Robusto […]

Come 2018, you (and Larry Bird) won’t be able to enjoy a cigar at any cigar lounge in Boston or likely anywhere else in Massachusetts. Governor Deval Patrick vetoed a second attempt by legislators to preserve cigar bars in communities of more than 150,000 residents.

Drew Estates tasting night here at the Eight Eighty Eight lounge in Fullerton. Nice sampling of three cigars for $20 which includes a raffle for some pretty stylin’ prizes. They even let me swap out the Acid cigar for an Antaño. The Joya de Nicaragua Antaño consists of 75% Ligero leaf and is a Nicaragua puro. […]

Our roving Cigar Group met at TAPS Fish House and Brewery in Brea this week to take advantage of their cigar-friendly patio while watching the Lakers tank another game. (Note to TAPS: Put a second screen out on the patio.) I’ve been to TAPS on a couple of occasions, but had not yet sampled their […]

The Cigar Guys – Tony Wilson and Alex Lukoff – put together a pretty smokin’ (pun intended) cigar gathering tonight at the Chateaux Restaurant and Lounge in Irvine, California. Twenty bucks got attendees a cigar from a certain island, and a really good, diverse group of cigar smokers. Tony and Alex host such gatherings every […]

Enjoying a great night with some friends at the Winery at The District in Tustin. The Winery has a great cigar-friendly patio with Monday night football on the big screen. With my Glenmorangie Scotch I enjoyed an Alec Bradley Harvest Selection 1997 and a CAO America. Typing on my iPhone so I’ll keep it short. […]

Trying a new app on iPhone that’s supposed to post to my blog. We’ll see how this goes. I’m at the 8Eightyeight Lounge in Fullerton. Frankie the manager talked me to a Gurkha Evil, but he’s going to owe me one for this travesty. Harsh just turned into slightly less harsh, and it won’t stay […]

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. […]
