What You Will Find...
I am a Floridian by birth, rare I know, and I reside in Cigar City USA, Tampa Fl. This blog is conceived out of a love of Cigars, and the conversations that are born over their enjoyment. I am constantly recommending my favorites to friends all over the country... and now I can share them with you.
Please feel free to share your Cigar experiences, your recommendations, and anything in between!
Like always I wish you Laughter, Life, and Long Ashes!

It was last week, and a good friend of mine (Jeff) came over to talk about the new church we are starting, and of course what great conversation wouldn't be complete with out a really great cigar. A couple of weeks before Jeff had read this blog about one of my new favorites... Rocky Patel Sun grown... so he bought me a few...
So when he came over... it was only natural for him to to take the Rocky for a ride. While he was enjoying on of my favorites i tried a new stick the... Olivia Series O torpedo.
Now i have had all sorts of the Olivas before and for the most part had been completely satisfied... but maybe it was that Jeff was smoking a real winner of a cigar... or maybe i got bad egg... but i was not to impressed at all.
Here are my thoughts:
Burn: Uneven and fast
Draw: Tighter than i prefer
Flavor: Woody, and earthy... kind of a thinner flavor than i remembered from Oliva.
Plume: Medium
Overall: i would give it a 2.5 out of ten... Not Olivas best
Price: 5-6$
Label: Tan and bown
So i have a favorite cigar shop... or at least my favorite place to get those hard to find cigars... it just so happens to be in the most unlikely place of all... brandon fl.
At the
Tobacco depot off of bloomingdale, my buddy Cecil is constantly recommending something new for me to try... and last week he introduced me to the
Camancho Triple Maduro. Now typically i am a HUGE maduro fan... being that i like substance, depth, and a hint of the rich sweetness that most maduros have to offer... but i have never in all my years as a cigar affionado tried anything of the Camancho label, let alone a "Triple Maduro".
Needless to say... the flavor was huge, i have never had more smoke come out of one stick... and to be honest... it kicked my butt!
Burn: Even
Draw: Very smooth... pleasantly surprised
Flavor: Big, huge flavor... touches of leather, and coffee, with a big earthy blast
Plume: HUGE, a heavy white smoke... that lingered forever
Overall: i would give it a 8 out of 10(if you are man enough) but for the faint of heart 2 out of 10 (it would break your stogie habit!
Price: 12-14$
Label: Silver and Black
