Romeo Y Julieta Vintage Cigars

Thursday, July 29, 2010 by Carson Pyles

"O Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo..?" I know where he is! Romeo Y Julieta has released a product that is turning heads all over the cigar world. The hopelessly romantic couple is at it again with their Romeo Y Julieta Vintage V Connecticut Double Corona.

This is perhaps one of my favorites from Romeo Y Julieta and I have been smoking this brand for a long time. This extremely rare cigar consists of several major elements that make it quite unique and complex. The filler is a fine Dominican Olor, the binder is the best, prime, Mexican tobacco available and finally, the combination is topped off with the rarest of the rare Connecticut-Connecticut wrappers. Aged for at least three years before released into the market - I could go on all day. All of that is well and good - I get it, what's really spectacular about this cigar, you're wondering. Well - It's just awesome; creamy, smooth, delicate, mild-medium bodied... perfect.

Save the best for last - - Romeo and Juliet go the extra mile with their 2 in 1 humidor box, complete with the well-known Credo Humidification System. This way You can keep these cigars in the original box for an extended period of time, which make them perfect for travel, shipping or simply showing off (no shame!).

This is a cigar that truly exemplifies the phrase, "the best bang for your buck" and sometimes that's all
you want - so save some green - and smoke something worthwhile.

Table Lighter?!

Monday, July 26, 2010 by Carson Pyles


Yeah that's right, a table cigar lighter. Never heard of it? Well - this is one of the more badass cigar accessories, no doubt about it.

I can honestly say that this is the most unique and intriguing lighter I've ever come across from Vector. It has two completely separate ignition systems, both enacted by their own individual button. On one hand, there’s the traditional “soft” flame that is great for lighting cigars. Also attached for large ring-gauge cigars that need extra attention, there's a single-jet torch flame that is sure to candle your cigar perfectly.

This makes for a great gift. Perfect for that gadget lover in your life.

Love Macanudo cigars? Try these

Sunday, July 25, 2010 by Carson Pyles
In my opinion Don Rafael is a great cigar that can easily be compared to big names like Macanudo cigars.

These cigars are "better than many, cheaper than most."
Don Rafael was conceived by Cigar Master, Jose Dominguez from Victor Sinclair, to compete directly with the iconic Macanudo Cigars brand and, as always, he hit his mark! You can even call Don Rafael "Best in Class" because of it's all-Dominican blend of flavorful tobaccos and stunningly super-low price point. Don Rafael is mild bodied, smooth smoking, and available with either a Natural Connecticut or Indonesion Maduro wrapper.

If you like Macanudo cigars, than try a bundle of these for about a buck and a half per stick and see if they're as good. If you think they are, than you could switch over and save some serious cash.

Real difference between hand mades and machine mades

Friday, July 23, 2010 by Carson Pyles

Handmade Cigars are made with three different types of tobacco: filler, binder, and wrapper. Each is hand picked and graded for quality assurance purposes. The filler generally consists of "long filler", which is the most prized. Whereas the binder consist of more irregular yet quality pieces which bind the filler together. Finally, the wrapper consists of the highest quality tobacco that often varies in type such as Connecticut, maduro, natural, etc. Each cigar is handmade and graded by a train professional.

Machine made cigars, on the other hand, are not as complex. The filler consists of scraps rather than "long filler"; however, these scraps are of quality. The binder can either be made of more tobacco leaves or tobacco paper, (basically paper made from the scraps of tobacco leaves). The wrapper of machine made cigars varies with each brand, they are made with quality tobacco leaves or with tobacco paper.
The beauty of machine-made cigars is the price. You don't have to have deep pockets to enjoy these boys. They also are often times fortified by adding flavorings such as vanilla, wine, or even grape. For the beginner and for those who smoke at work, machine made cigars are hidden treasures. For the aspiring aficionado, it might be best to stick with handmade cigars, which have higher quality ingredients and more complex flavors.

"The Rebirth of Cigars"

Friday, July 23, 2010 by Carson Pyles
                                         Looking for a new exciting cigar that's not the same ole, same ole? Look no further - - You have found what you're looking for with Acid Exotic Cigars. These cigars are exotic in almost every way, infused thoroughly with glorious flavors and we're not talking about flavors like rum or vanilla - we're talking about clove infused, really tasty sticks.

There is nothing ordinary about these cigars - Drew Estate makes that pretty clear with their company slogan - "The Rebirth of Cigars... From the traditional to the outrageous and everything inbetween."

The Acid Subculture Kindred Spirit, a Thompson exclusive, is a truly unique and exotic cigar. The filler hails from Habana-seed tobacco from the Jalapa Valley and also contains long filler from the Esteli, Nicaragua. This combination is fortified with a delectable Sumatra Sun-grown Binder. The cigar is completed by a Connecticut Shade Wrapper cultivated in the rich volcanic-soil highlands Ecuador. I know you will thoroughly enjoy this cigar as I have. Don't waste your time looking for the Acid Subculture Kindred Spirit anywhere else. These bad boys are only available at Thompson Cigar.

Thursday, July 22, 2010 by Carson Pyles


This is a three-year-aged blend of super small batch esoteric tobaccos from the Dominican Republic, Honduras, and Nicaragua capped with a caramel colored Ecuadoran grown Connecticut Shade wrapper.

Review of the Cohiba "Red Dot"

Thursday, July 22, 2010 by Carson Pyles
Cohiba's most popular label, commonly referred to as the "Red Dot," was released in 1997 after five full years of research. The guys at Cohiba took their time to make sure that they produced a winner and boy did they.

This is a medium-full bodied cigar that just might slap a fat smile on your face. It did with me. The finish on each draw is perfectly smooth and flavorful. This cigar dons a Colorado Maduro wrapper that brings it an earthy taste that is not easy to find in a cigar. It's construction appeared to be a little shaky and the ash way uneven for the first 20 minutes or so, but a great draw and wonderful flavor extinguished any of my concerns about this cigar.

If you want a big taste that is one of the most satisfying you can find, look no further than Cohiba Cigars. This is perhaps one of the best showings of the fine tobacco that the Dominican Republic has to offer.

5-pack Mega Brand Sampler

Wednesday, July 21, 2010 by Carson Pyles
This 5-pack of cigars comes with some of the most well known bold cigars available today. Each of these fine cigars are wrapped with tobacco that is aged and fermented to bring out a particular bold taste that might drive you crazy, or make you fall over. To me, it just tastes wonderful. Notice the Rocky Patel Decade in the middle of the photo. The purplish wrapper you see is called a Colorado wrapper. If you haven't tried one, it's about time you did. I think you'll like the flavor it gives off.

If you like a good stout cigar, this sampler was designed to please cigar smokers like you!

If you bought these cigars in a cigar store they would take at least two 20's out of your wallet. But if you buy cigars online like these with Thompson Cigar, you'll find you can smoke more fine tobacco for less money.

See what we're asking for the 5-pack Mega Brand Sampler

The Brown Bag Sampler - Worth The Mystery

Monday, July 19, 2010 by Morgan C
Brown Bag Sampler

... I know what you're thinking. Believe me, I was not on the Brown Bag Sampler's side when the idea was in it's infancy. I thought to myself, this is essentially like going into your local shop, picking up an unknown box off the counter and buying it - only sure of one thing - cigars will be inside. Well - my opinion was shot down and to my surprise the Brown Bag Sampler is flying off the shelves - we literally make up new samplers every week to stay in stock. That's the beauty of it - we don't have to worry about what's in stock because its genuinely completely random. Sometimes you'll get a few Rocky Patels, CAO or Ghurkas in there - other times you might get a few Don Lugo's or Cubanacan - it's totally random (in a good way).

Don't be afraid to venture into the unknown on this one. The Brown Bag Sampler is totally worth the mystery and money. AND - to make you a believer I'm going to open up one of these cigar samplers and tell you what's inside, so here goes...

- 2 Flor De Dominguez
- 2 Cubanacan
- 4 Reyes Family Vintage
- 6 Victor Sinclair
- 7 Exclusive Brands
- 2 CAO
- 7 Mystery Cigars (I have to leave some mystery!!)

So - I proved it to you -  When you purchase the Brown Bag Sampler, you will be getting thirty great cigars!

Another Winner from 601

Monday, July 19, 2010 by Carson Pyles

The Murcielago Robusto Maduro is a great cigar of renowned artisanship - And that's probably not news to you as it's made by 601. If I had to give you one sentence about 601 it would be this - they are meticulous and perfectionists about their cigars, the The Murcielago Robusto Maduro included. This exotic smoke will keep you satisfied and begging for more. 601 is a brand many aficionados have made their primary cigar; you might join the club if you give this stick a try. Full bodied and totally  immaculate from the first draw, it's a real jewel rated 90 by Cigar Aficionado.


Hearty Nicaraguan Long Filler, creamy, flavorful Mexican binder. The most unique aspect of this Murcielago is the its wrapper. This wholly unique wrapper is grown on the cone of Mount Tilted in Veracruz, Mexico. This glorious combination results in a complex , bold, and engaging cigar. I simply cannot compare this cigar to another because it is simply in a league of its own.

It didn't take long for me to realize a plastic bag filled with cigars isn't going to get me many points in the cigar world, no matter what it's filled with; in comes the Andre Garcia cigar case from Thompson Cigar.

Punch Pita Makes an Impression on Exprienced Smokers

Friday, July 16, 2010 by Jackie J
Once you've sampled practically every cigar and found your favorites one would think it impossible to find a smoke that could actually make an impression on such a mature and experienced palate. Well, the Punch Pita EMS Toro is here to prove you wrong. Punch cigars are of the most remarkable Honduran cigars available on the market today. But this non conventional cigar is blended with full-bodied Honduran, Nicaraguan and Dominican tobaccos and has a robust Ecuadoran wrapper. This 5-star review from Thompson customer "Second One" will give you the most enticing details:


"If you steer an aircraft carrier up the Potomac it would get noticed. That's the effect of a Punch Pita--it gets noticed. When TCC intones "...probably not your first cigar," I take it to mean Punch is best smoked when all the lessers have been sorted through. The foremost of the premier qualities (of so many great qualities) of the Pita is its easy draw: effortless, with chewy clouds of gratifying smoke: spicy, dry, pure flavor and aroma. The firm construction stands up to the hour or more of handling you'll need to conquer this titan. The Punch Pita is everything a cigar should be (like most Punch styles): well-behaved, flavorful, challenging but not rude, pleasant and full of zip, dependable. I've smoked a thousand Punch cigars over the years and I never had to leave one behind due to an issue. The Pita is certainly one of the top five cigars I've ever smoked (and that includes Havanas)."

Recommendations for both first-timers and veterans

Thursday, July 15, 2010 by Carson Pyles
I've been trying to think of cigars that I would recommend for a) beginners in cigar smoking, and b) longtime smokers. And I've finally come to a decision for each of these groups. Take a look at these premium cigars, whether you've been smoking cigars 30 years or 2 weeks.

You're going to want to go with rather mild cigars if your just getting stated smoking cigars. If you're a beginner, here are two great, more tame cigars to give a try: Cusano 18 (pictured on right) and Cuvee Blanc. Just click the hyperlinks or the pictures to learn more or purchase these cigars.

And for the long-timers, I have a couple of recommendations for you, as well. This is a couple of fine cigars that will give you a little kick, if you know what I mean. These might test your ability to stand upright! Gurkha Black Dragon Maduro (on right) and Punch Rothschild Maduro.
