It has published a list (set forth below) of the 50 best beers in America, as ranked by its readers. The readers are asked to provide a list of their 20 favorite beers, and all beers must […]

Ride the Coast 2011 did not disappoint. A great ride with perfect weather, finishing at Irvine Lake and a fantastic Blues Festival. Being an influential member of the media (that, and I paid an extra fifty bucks), I received a VIP pass that provided a place in the shade to hang out, discounted beer, an […]

C.E.O. Red Label Cigar (5 x 50) This is a real mystery cigar. I think I actually bought a five-pack of C.E.O. cigars, based on a vague memory that I exclaimed, “what the hell are C.E.O. cigars?” when the package came in the mail. I think they were an impulse buy on Cigar Monster, ordered […]

Those fine people at Cigars Direct were kind enough to send me a selection of cigars for tasting and review, so I selected a Casa Magna Colorado (Robusto), and paired it with a Voo Doo American Stout. The pairing was effortless, using the standard password 0000 (an obscure bluetooth reference that I found funny, but then […]

Based on the Steelers’ performance thus far, I thought it best to distract myself with a quality beer and cigar for the remainder of the Super Bowl. (Oh cripes, another interception.) Adding insult to injury, I fired up a Rocky Patel, forgetting that Rocky is a major cheese head. But give the man his due. RPs […]

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. […]

Super Fuerte means super strong, and this Maduro stick from the Indian Tabac Cigar Co. has a kick, although I would not classify it as “super” strong. This box pressed cigar is handmade in Honduras, and contains a blend of tobaccos from Costa Rica, Nicaragua and Honduras. I was immediately impressed with the taste – […]
