We are coming up on the LCA release for April, and this time, there are not two cigars to watch for, but four! That’s right, the usual LCA drop, this time a Lancero from Sisnistro, is accompanied by three others. I guess that means there is an LCA plus, a plus plus, and a plus […]
The release of the Cigar 1 duo by JC Newman and Privada Cigar Club brings two different blends, the Rose and Cream. I had mentioned the Privada Good Life from JC Newman, which uses a high priming Connecticut Broadleaf. The blend is a great expression of the tobacco, offering notes of Chocolate cake, dark earth, […]
So, what can I say about these cigars? This is a big project by Privada Cigar Club and J.C. Newman Cigar Factory. The concept: that one cigar for every occasion for every palate. We always hear that you can’t craft a cigar that is meant for everyone. The diversity of palates causes this statement to […]
The start of March is here! What does that mean at OGT? The newest LCA cigar is about to drop. Each month there is something different and unique to drop, and March is no exception. The latest release is a mysterious blend out of Costa Rica titled the Cuban Daiquiri cigar. This is a 6×54 […]

LCA is raising the bar here in 2022! The newest release for February is the Cavalier Genève Oddjob! I have heard a lot about the cigar brand that rolls a twenty-four carrot cold leaf with the tobacco, but haven’t had much opportunity to try them. This makes me particularly excited to explore the brand, most […]
LCA Plus drop is coming! And much to my excitement, the third installment of the Privada Watch Series is on the list! Introducing the Privada Watch Series Root Beer Cigar. Previously we saw the Pepsi and the Rose Gold, both offering very different tastes. The Root beer is the third collection offered by Privada. The […]
Okay, so here is an interesting cigar. Originally released through the Privada Cigar Club, this dark, oily maduro uses a San Andreas wrapper, while the binder and fillers hail from the DR. The Bonita, Bonita, Bonita comes from the Tabacalera La Isla factory in the Dominican. A young man named Hostos, who is the cousin […]
I apologize; as much as I wish this was a review, it is not. The cigar in question, the Cigabon by Jochy Blanco, arrives next week. As I have told our regulars, I play fair, and I won’t try it until our official tasting night. However, it doesn’t mean I can speak on it. Jochy […]
