• Cigar Review – Mi Querida Black SakaKhan by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

    In a recent social media post, Steve Saka of Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust explained the history behind the name of his latest creation the Mi Querida Black SakaKhan: “It was the 80’s when Chaka Khan became known as an artist and I was getting certified to Con(n) as a...
  • Cigar Review – Ricochet Oscuro toro by La Barba Cigars

    In an interesting bit of kismet, as I took my seat in The Corner Of No Hope to review tonight’s cigar, Facebook reminded me that I last reviewed a La Barba offering on this exact date back in 2017. Seriously, out of all the brands in the world, what...
  • Cigar Review – Muestra de Saka The Bewitched by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

    We here in The Corner Of No Hope are fans of Dunbarton’s Muestra de Saka series. So much so that the Nacatamale remains, several years later, as not only my favorite of the series but perhaps my favorite Dunbarton offering overall since the company’s inception back in 2015. So...
  • Cigar Review – Sangre Nueva by Casa Cuevas

    I’ve smoked several Casa Cuevas offerings over the years (Patrimonio & Reserva Maduro) and the resulting reviews have been positive . However, the latest brand to emerge from Casa Cuevas has a very different backstory to it… Master Blender Luis Cuevas Sr. felt it was time that his grandson...
  • Cigar Review – White Toro by West Tampa Tobacco Company

    When I first dove in to the world of premium cigars many many moons ago, CAO was one of my early favorite go-to brands. Just thinking about my first time smoking the CAO America barberpole or the original CAO Vision gives me all sorts of nostalgic feels. CAO would...
  • Cigar Review – Knuckle Sandwich Habano Toro H by Espinosa Cigars

    Over the years, we here at The Tuesday Night Cigar Club have always spoken kindly of Guy Fieri. After all, the TNCC is far more Fieri than Bourdain and not just because we’re all still alive. By all accounts the celebrity chef is a nice, charitable dude who hasn’t...
  • Cigar Review – Audiophile by Emilio Cigars

    Way back in 2015 on Episode 5 of the podcast, we reviewed the Emilio AF1 cigar (which we all enjoyed) and The Tuesday Night Cigar Club hasn’t featured an Emilio offering since then. The company has changed ownership over the last few years, we’ll let you cruise over to...
  • Cigar Review – Miami Laguito No. 1 by Villiger Cigars

    So, I’m going to go ahead and get this out of the way now – I am typically not a fan of lanceros. I can’t tell you exactly why, the lancero vitola just typically doesn’t sing to me in the same way that other sizes in the same blend...
  • Cigar Review – Stillwell Star Aromatic No. 1 by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

    So I have never smoked a pipe. And I know absolutely nothing about the world of pipe tobacco. Seeing as how I’m about to light up a cigar blended with pipe tobacco, it’s probably wise to turn to the Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust website to formally introduce tonight’s cigar...
