Each year Black Label Trading Company and Black Works Studios release several limited editions featuring an array of different tobaccos. At the beginning of 2022, Overja Negra released the new Intergalactic Sumatra, the Memento Mori Pennsylvania Broadleaf, and the Hyena Cameroon. Each blend is unique; however, the LE I perhaps look forward to the most […]
It is no secret I am a fan of Connecticut Broadleaf tobacco. However, unfortunately, I don’t feel like it is always best represented in certain cigars in the market. I know that is subjective and maybe a vague statement, but I have smoked a host of Connecticut Broadleaf sticks that I feel are at war […]
Stolen Throne Cigars has the quintessential Boutique/craft story. Brand owner Lee Marsh launched his brand with only one blend, the Crook of the Crown Maduro. Featuring a Mexican San Andres wrapper, over Indonesian Binder and Nicaraguan fillers, the Crook fo the Crown cigar is a delicious chocolaty, earthy, sweet delight with hints of spice and […]

Most of the Corojo tobacco found in the OGT humidor is from Nicaragua and Honduras. Companies like Aganorsa Leaf dominate the Nicaraguan game, and Aladino and CLE from Honduras. Honduran Corojo tends […]
Stallone cigars are one of those brands that have a well-sized portfolio, and each cigar in it has a place and complexity different than each other. Owner and Blender Tony Barrios crafted rich-tasting Nicaraguan tobacco with subtly and power not common in the industry. It is one thing to blend a cigar that has strength, […]
Dunbarton Tobacco and Trust is not a volume over quality brand. Unfortunately I have seen that more frequent than I would like to admit.
