Living Up to the Hype
Posted: Apr 25, 2007 4:46pm ET
I just lit a La Gloria Cubana Reserva Figurado Selectos de Lujo, one of my favorite cigars. It’s a seven-inch long perfecto made from fourth priming tobacco that’s blended with an emphasis on balance.
Sitting Down With Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson
Posted: Apr 19, 2007 4:30pm ET
On the way home from work the other night I dropped in on Club Perfecto, my local cigar club. Pete Johnson was in town, and I wanted to talk to him about his Tatuaje cigars. I walked in the door, said hello to some of the people I know, then shook hands with Pete.

A cigar book hit my desk the other day. I flipped through it, then stopped at a sidebar that caught my eye. “I have never tasted cinnamon in a cigar. Neither have I tasted nutmeg, leather, fruit, or a hint of straw.
Can A Cigar Be Too Strong?
Posted: Apr 4, 2007 11:50am ET
Can a cigar be too strong to enjoy? That’s the gist of a recent thread in our Cuba and Cuban Cigars forum. A reader picked up a box of Bolivar Corona Extras (fine cigars, by the way) and was overwhelmed by their power, so much so that he didn’t enjoy them at all.
