Mild start. Steady build. Plenty of pepper.

The United Cigars Gold Star Toro delivered a unique flavor profile, excellent construction, and a finish that stayed well past its welcome.

Toscano cigars look different, smoke differently, and have more than 200 years of history behind them.

We asked about fire-cured tobacco, Italian tradition, production, and why Toscano has never felt the need to become a typical premium cigar.

Byron is celebrating 175 years with four cigars, four generations, and the kind of presentation that makes “I’m going to smoke them” sound increasingly dishonest.

New to cigars?

Relax. You do not need a tobacco degree, an expensive lighter, or the ability to identify wet cedar on the retrohale.

You just need a few basics and a decent first cigar.

We are not sure about the 'single adult' part, but the rest seems accurate...

A new Montecristo Espada always gets our attention.

Did the Conquistador Guard earn its place in the lineup, or should you spend your cigar budget elsewhere?

The Rocky Mountain Cigar Festival moved to Cheyenne.

The cigars, crowds, Dochella, brewery tour, great deals, and questionable mechanical bull decisions all made the trip too.

Oh...and there was a Buc-ee's stop.

Elegant shape. Bright flavors. A profile that does not follow the usual Davidoff script.

The Davidoff Puro Dominicano Perfecto earns an 89 from Cigar Press.

Yesterday’s cigar. Today’s problem.

Some smokers say relighting a cigar the next day is disgusting. Others quietly do it and hope nobody notices.

Thor brings the debate into the open.

Every cigar event starts with good intentions.

Every cigar event ends with someone borrowing a lighter, buying too many cigars, and wearing yesterday’s shirt home.

Here’s how to avoid becoming that guy.

Smoker Friendly has invested in Casa 1910.

It is a major move for the Mexican cigar brand, but it may also signal something bigger.

Could direct investment from major retailers become a new trend in the premium cigar industry?

Dark wrapper. Full-bodied smoke. Deep earth, dried fruit, wood, fermented tobacco, and a steady rise in peppery spice.

The DTT Overseas No. 1 kept things fairly straightforward and executed them very well.

Thirty years after helping create the original Honduran Saint Luis Rey, Christian Eiroa returned to the project.

Fred caught up with him at the Biltmore Hotel in Miami to talk about the original cigar, the anniversary blend, and what changed.

No guest this week. Just your questions.

Office Hours covers cigar lounge etiquette, cell phones, aging cigars, too many cigar brands, and several topics guaranteed to start an argument.

The Tatuaje Havana VI 20th Anniversary Series B brings cocoa, creamy smoke, and plenty of black pepper.

Medium strength early. Fuller as it goes. Great construction throughout.

1000% True this year as well....

This is why I despise evaluating cigars during the hot season..#cigarlife #cigaraficionado #botl #cigaroftheday

Montecristo Espada Conquistador debuted at the Biltmore in Coral Gables.

It was hot. Everyone was sweating. Nobody left.

Our first look at the new Rafael Nodal and Plasencia collaboration:

Your cigar brand does not need a better story.

It needs sales, distribution, shelf space, working capital, reliable shipping, and willingness to eat Frosted Flakes in a hotel room at 2:45 a.m.

Getting cigars is easy. Building a cigar company is the job.
