Before you storm TNCC headquarters with your cyber pitchforks and sanctimonious torches, we will go ahead and state the obvious right now – we are big fans of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust. It’s not because the company sends us cigars for review. It’s not because DTT’s founder Steve Saka...

As a longtime RoMa Craft fan, this might just be my most anticipated cigar of the year. The Quinquagenario, blended with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo Jr. to celebrate RoMa’s cofounder Skip Martin’s 50th birthday, is also high on my radar but I got my hands on the Volstead first. So here...

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...

It is used most often in connection with the work of Leonardo da Vinci and his...

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...

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...
