Good luck with those. Smokin Joe's and Old City Cigar are both out of business.....

The owner, however, has opened a new shop. It's called Blue Smoke. You might try there. However, this was a very limited run in 2015(ish). They're probably scarce at this point.

I know there were several other retailers who got the same blend in different violas. That'll broaden the possibility of finding them.

Picked up a La Galera 80th Anniversary (cigar companies and their celebrations of anniversaries that have absolutely nothing to do with the current company drive me nuts, but that's for another day). I'm only 1/3 through it and I have to say it's my favorite of their offerings to date. Bold and spicy, tempered with some dark chocolate intermittently. Really digging it. No details whatsoever. I just stopped by to see a friend this afternoon and saw it on the shelf.

HAHAHA Chiba. That's awesome. Duh. It's obvious now looking at the band. I'm so silly sometimes.

I recall people having mixed feelings for the brand but this 5 Vegas Classic Robusto really was a lovely cigar today on the back porch. Some coffee notes and a bit of spice on the retro. All in all a nice cigar for a nice day.

Cigarro del dia - numero siete

Yesterday was a great morning for a cigar. Clocked in for work, made a nice cup of Pilon, told the job that I had to "look for a spot," and lit up this delicious Por Larranaga Petit. Took me an hour to look for a spot (I was sitting in my original spot the whole time). Image Image

Ashton Revelation. Not much to say. Couldn't get anything out of it -- really tight draw. In the words of El Jefe Trump, "Sad." Image

Maybe it's like becoming one with the cigar. You lose yourself in it; everything fades away: your worries, your problems, your thoughts. They fade into the smoke, and the cigar and you are at peace. - Raul Julia
