  • Cigar Review – Hot Cakes Golden Line by HVC

    In early 2021, The Tuesday Night Cigar Club featured the original Hot Cake corona gorda on a particularly entertaining podcast episode and we all gave it a thumbs up. Skip ahead a few years and HVC has recently released a more mild version of their Hot Cake line which...
  • Cigar Review – Muestra de Saka Krakatoa by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

    I look forward to Dunbarton’s Muestra de Saka releases each year and 2023’s Krakatoa is no exception. The cigar was to be released originally back in 2021 but was delayed and then last year’s offering, The Bewitched, jumped ahead in the line. Dunbarton main man Steve Saka had this...
  • Cigar Review – Cinco de Cinco by Joya de Nicaragua

    Joya de Nicaragua is celebrating its 55th anniversary in 2023 and, as they have traditionally done over the last five years, the oldest factory in Nicaragua has blended a special cigar to commemorate the occasion. “As we have always said, this is the best cigar that comes out of...
  • Cigar Review – S&R 2023 by Black Works Studio

    The original S&R is one of my favorite all-time releases from James Brown & Black Works Studio, so when I learned earlier this year that it was being reimagined I was both curious and somewhat nervous. Would I enjoy it as much as the 2018 release? What if it...
  • Cigar Review – Mi Querida Black PapaSaka by Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust

    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...
  • 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...
  • Episode 162 – Cocaine Bear, La Gloria Cubana Serie R No. 8 & Shady Moose cigars, Beers

    We’re back! You know, it’s hard to leave a lasting impression if you never actually leave. So we’ve been doing a few less shows this year but when we do show up HOT F’N DAMN are the end results something special. Starting with our year-end visit from Steve Saka...
  • 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...
