Size: 4 1/2″ x 41 Vitola: Petite Corona Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sun Grown Connecticut Origin: DR Age: 3 months When I think of luxury and cigars I think of just one name – Davidoff.

Posted in Cigar News & Notes, New Releases, tagged Davidoff, Davidoff Puro d'Oro on January 30, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
From CigarClyclopedia.com: When Zino Davidoff introduced his Dominican-made line in late 1990, there were four styles: the Classic, the Thousand Series, Grand Cru and Special. And for many years, that was it. Not any more!. At its company-wide sales meeting held in the Dominican Republic last week, Davidoff unveiled a brand new line to be [...]

Cuban Cigar Size Chart
Posted in Cigar Musings, tagged Cigar Shapes, Cigar Size Chart on January 28, 2009 | 1 Comment »
The sizes listed below were pulled from the Habanos, SA website. Since they make the cigars, these ARE the correct sizes and names (we hope). Traditionally there have been fewer vitolas listed, but Habanos is now putting out a lot of different sizes. In fact, they have a vitola for every possible size, even if [...]

Now what everyone has been waiting for… the results of the Blind Review Challenge that my buddy Matt of Matt’s Cigar Journal and I participated in.

The Domestic market uses Standard measurements: inches for length and ring gauge for width. Ring gauge is measured in 1/64 of an inch. Therefore if a cigar has a ring gauge of 49, it is 49/64 of an inch in diameter.
What’s in a Shape?
Posted in Cigar Musings, tagged Cigar Shapes, Cigar Size Chart on January 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Cigar Shapes and Sizes At first I thought this would be an easy enough task. Just list the range in cigar shapes and sizes. But the more I thought of this, the more work it became. But that’s okay. I want to bring you the reader (all three of you) a comprehensive list of shapes [...]

Gurkha, the Rolls Royce of Cigars (self proclaimed), has an interesting history. Gurkha (Beach Cigar Company) is helmed by Kaizad Hansotia, who is a man with a penchant for the flamboyant and luxurious. Gurkha is known for the intricate humidors and product presentation, almost more so than their cigars.
Blind Review #6

This is my first part of a series of blind reviews that I am doing with my buddy Matt from Matt’s Cigar Journal. We each exchanged three cigars and the goal of this little “experiment” is to conduct an unbiased review of these cigars and hopefully try to guess what it is we are smoking. [...]
