It’s the holiday season, and what do I enjoy more than spending time with family, caroling around the tree, and expressing thanks for the savior’s birth? All of the above with a good cigar in hand, or two or three. Leave it to the guys at the LCA to bring something special to the occasion. […]
It is here! The much anticipated annual release of the LCA Reserva Vintage! Each year, Privada Cigar Club and Christian Eiroa craft one of the finest limited cigars to market, a Honduran Corojo puro that simply delivers on flavor, construction, and elegance. This year, the LCA Reserva Vintage 2022 brings some new aspects of sweetness […]
I can’t believe I haven’t written about this, especially since I was after it for so long. This blend is definitely on my favorites list. It is no secret that here at OGT I am a fan of Tony Barrios’ blending; Stallone cigars are rich, full-flavored blends of superb quality. Typically you will find carefully […]
LCA The Diver drops Thursday, November 3rd at 9pm CA time/12am est. It’s time, finally time, for a Connecticut Broadleaf cigar in the LCA. If you have read some of my past blogs, you know that I am a fan of the leaf from the Connecticut river valley. Particular people have the magic touch with […]
The LCA Plus Cocoa di Padre by Chico Rivas is a very exciting drop to me. Chico is no stranger to the OGT humidor. If you have tried the original drop ‘From Chico’ or the Privada Core Line 1491, then you know he is a blender specializing in full flavor, medium to full body, medium […]
What is known about this cigar? At OGT, this isn’t the first time it has reared its ‘Halloween’ face before. This cigar, now over a year of age, the Xhxahi Bobi Halloween, has returned, or should I say, resurfaced. Bob de Goede, or “Xhxahi Bobi” crafted this cigar for the LCA release of October last […]

To be really dead- that must be… glorious.” -Count Dracula Several years ago, my brother, Andrew Drazin, illustrated a picture of Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein monster enjoying a cigar. That picture is hung on the wall of the OGT Humidor. It has become somewhat of an […]
Drops Thursday, October 6th at 9pm CA time/12am est. Class meets artistry. One of the highest-dollar cigar companies in the game is dropping for the LCA October release, but it comes with an advantageous opportunity! El Septimo is known for its prestigious smoking experience, bringing unique blends from the countryside of Costa Rica. At usual, […]
It’s finally going to make an appearance! It has been a long journey, but it’s on its way. It was nearly a year ago when I had come across this cigar. Hearing about it among members of the Privada Cigar Club, I knew this was one I had to try. A friend of mine secured […]
Whelp. here it is. At the beginning of the year, I posted a YouTube video titled “Oak Glen Tobacconist is on a mission this year.” If you have a chance, give it a watch. I have strived to keep that promise through cigars like the Clowncero, the seven-year aged vault series from Stallone Cigars, Heartbreaker, […]
