Alex Bradley Black Market

Written by Jape on May 23, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I’ve actually smoked several of these, but I have never posted about them. I believe that my #5 slot has been taken by this cigar. The Black Market is a fantastic smoke by Alec Bradley. Found many times on the Daily Joe’s Deal, I’ve picked up several 5-packs since last December, which is when I […] Read more »

Alec Bradley Tempus

Written by Jape on April 30, 2012 · Leave a Comment

After the Cigar Aficionado’s Top 25 list came out for 2011, and Alec Bradley’s Prensado was #1 on this list, I’ve been wanting to try more of his cigars. I did purchase and smoke one of the Churchill-sized Prensados after the CA list dropped, and it was fantastic. But that was before I had revisited […] Read more »

CAO Brazilia

Written by Jape on April 9, 2012 · Leave a Comment

I was skeptical about this smoke because the last couple of CAO cigars I’d smoked, I didn’t care for. However, some friends at work kept telling me that I should try the Brazilia and I would like it, so I finally did. This was a great smoke, I’m pleased to say. The burn was very […] Read more »

CAO VR Torpedo

Written by Jape on March 18, 2012 · Leave a Comment

A friend of mine over at StogieNewb gave me this smoke and asked me to try it. I let it sit in the humidor for only 2-3 days before I lit it up. I’ve smoked a few CAO cigars before, but apparently I’ve never blogged about them. The reason for this might be that they […] Read more »

Oliveros Black Knight

Written by Jape on March 11, 2012 · Leave a Comment

This was a stick that a friend gave me who is a fellow herfer. It is a box-pressed cigar that measures 6×52 with a nice, brown oily finish to the wrapper. The cigar had plenty of smoke and tasted woody with a hint of spice. The burn was a bit uneven, and I had to […] Read more »

Casa Magna Colorado Diadema

Written by Jape on March 4, 2012 · 1 Comment

Part of the Top 25 list of 2011, this wasn’t the first cigar from the list I smoked, but it is the first review that I will write, simply because I just started blogging again. This smoke was even all the way through, which is something I am always impressed with. If you don’t smoke […] Read more »

Cigar Aficionado Top 25 Cigars of 2011

Written by Jape on March 4, 2012 · 2 Comments

Well, I’m back. And I’m planning to start posting here more regularly also. To kick-off my resurrection of this blog, I’ve posted the Top 25 Cigars from Cigar Aficionado below. I did several Google searches for a list of the top 25, but all that I could find were the cigars each posted in a […] Read more »

Havana Mix Cigar Emporium, Memphis

Written by Jape on October 3, 2010 · Leave a Comment

I am somewhat surprised at the lack of cigar shops in the downtown Memphis area. Havana Mix seems to be a good hang-out spot, though. It could deter an Aficionado that might come through the area, but once inside I am sure it is quite a nice place to lounge. I might have to try and run back in there tonight and see what the nightlife is like. Read more »

About Me

I re-started this blog in March of 2012. Back when I first started posting here, I did it for my own records and information, so that I could refer back to the cigars I liked.
I got tired of posting in 2010, but I am back now, and I plan to post in here several times a month.
