• Cigar Review – La Madonna Negra by Black Label Trading Company

    So… honesty time. It’s been a while since I’ve smoked a newly released cigar that’s impressed me. I can’t remember a stretch of months this consecutive where everything that showed up in the TNCC mailbox was so ho hum, so boring. While there’s been some eye-catching presentations and many...
  • Cigar Review – Le Carême Pastelitos LE 2023 by Crowned Heads

    As far as track records are concerned, the Le Carême line from Crowned Heads has a pretty damn perfect one with The Tuesday Night Cigar Club. In 2019 we reviewed the Le Carême Canonazo on Episode 94 and it blew our collective socks off. So much so that it...
  • Cigar Review – Dedicación Coach by All Saints Cigars

    Odit Dominus Ignavus Agit, which translates from Latin to “The Lord Hates A Coward”, is inscribed on the band of tonight’s cigar. I’ve always been fascinated by this phrase in its many forms for reasons that I can never quite put a finger on. It just gets my mind...
  • Cigar Reviews – Romeo vs. Juliet

    Famous Smoke Shop is expanding two of its exclusive Romeo y Julieta “House Of” cigar lines. The Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Romeo y Julieta House of Romeo selections are getting their own line extensions.

    Britannica educates us that Sfumato (from Italian sfumare, “to tone down” or “to evaporate like smoke”), in painting or drawing, is the fine shading that produces soft, imperceptible transitions between colours and tones. It is used most often in connection with the work of Leonardo da Vinci and his...
  • Cigar Review – Liga Privada H99 Connecticut Corojo Phineas Gage Lancero by Drew Estate

    My personal history with the Liga Privada H99 series from Drew Estate is a long and somewhat frustrating one… so bear with me here. I smoked my first two samples of the original toro at the 2018 PCA trade show and instantly fell in love. Due to production issues...
  • Cigar Review – Intemperance EC XVIII Goodness by RoMa Craft Tobac

    Sometimes I select a cigar for review not based on “what’s new on the shelf” or “what’s everybody talking about” but, rather, I’ll choose a cigar from my personal humidor that I’ve enjoyed many times over the years but have never reviewed. These are cigars in my somewhat regular...
  • Cigar Review – Villiger de Nicaragua by Villiger Cigars

    Who here likes transparency? I know that I do. More so than ever before, for several reasons, if you are interested in seeing your company’s cigar reviewed by The Tuesday Night Cigar Club hunks then you might want to contact us about submitting some samples. Over the years we...
  • Cigar Review – Long Live The Queen’s Crown by Caldwell Cigar Company

    Happy Valentine’s Day! Today’s review is dedicated to all the queens in our lives and all the shit they have to put up with. And if you’re reading this, I’m assuming you smoke a lot of cigars so these queens do indeed put up with a lot of shit....
