  • 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...

The Romeo y Julieta Capulet and Romeo y Julieta House of Romeo selections are getting their own line extensions. The new cigars are Nicaraguan-forward renditions that are listed under Romeo y Julieta House...
  • Cigar Review – Sfumato in C Major by Crowned Heads

    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...
  • Episode 160 – Los Statos Deluxe cigar, Booze, Fire Pit, He-Man!

    Welcome to The Tuesday Night Cigar Club’s 8th Annual Puketastic Drinkathon & Drinking Some More For Some Reason Extravaganza!!! Or some shit like that. It’s special nights like this when I actually miss the 4 of us getting together in one room and clinking our pints together in revelry,...
