Minute Musings

Minute Musings

“Minute Musings” are simply random thoughts we happen to have at any given moment, what we’re smoking….or who knows? This is where we dump our random musings or whatever questions for which we’d like answers. They provide a good opportunity to generate some conversation between Half Ashed episodes. So, drop a comment and let us know what you think!

What are your “workhorse” blends?

What are your favorites of which we might not know?

By Kip Fisher

Tonight I’m wrapping up the evening with an El Triunfador lancero, one of my favorite (and incredibly under-rated) cigars. After all the years these things have been out, I still love ’em..and don’t understand why […]

Opus Power Ranger

By Kip Fisher

Having had such a good day of smoking, I decided to tempt the fates and go for an Opus Power Ranger (xXx). I’m the world’s biggest Fuente fan, but not so much a fan of […]

Fuente Hemingway Sungrown

By Kip Fisher

No matter how many Sungrown Hemingways I stash away on the rare occasion of their appearance, it’s never enough. I absolutely adore these things, and always forget between batches just how much. It’d be nice […]

DPG Blue lancero up next!

By Kip Fisher

I’ve enjoyed these DPG Blue lanceros since the first one I ever lit up (the first of many…. Pepin spice, backed up by some delightful cedar and charred oaken flavors. Phenomenal construction. And who doesn’t […]
