It’s back! Stallone Cigars OGT IV Aniversario Exclusive. This is one of my top picks for cigars in 2023. Now, I know I sound biased, it bares our name on the label after all. However, there is very good reason for why this stick is exceptional. When I was looking for a blend to commemorate […]
Stulac Anejo Broadleaf drops Black Friday Sale on Thanksgiving, Nov. 23rd 9pm pst/12am est. Aging a cigar can be an interesting process and sometimes a gamble.

Once you smoke a cigar made at Oveja Negra Factory in Nicaragua, it’s easy to fall into that mode. A favorite from their portfolio was recently added earlier […]
You have heard of me talk about Chaffiot Collection Cigars before. And why not? Some of my favorite cigars come from this company; like the Chaffiot Freedom Fighter or the Chaffiot See No Evil. Last year, based on popular vote, the See No Evil custom Lonsdale got awarded the top cigar of the year! This […]
There are cigars that are rare and then there are unicorns. The ladder are those ones you might glimpse once and never see again.

The newest HVC Black Friday 2023 blend just hit the shelves! Each year, Reinier Lorenzo blends a special, ‘interesting’ vitola blend under the name Black Friday.
