Slow-Aged by Perdomo February 23rd, 2005 Steve R 88 Every now and then I catch wind of a new cigar that makes me grow as impatient as an eight year old kid on Christmas morning. Carmen our inventory manager tries to keep these shipments a secret, knowing I’ll bug him on a daily basis to see if it has arrived. Slow-Aged was one of those shipments. It only took a few words for me to grab my attention: Perdomo, bundle, bargain. I love Perdomo … Read More
Cu-Avana Maduro February 20th, 2005 Gonz Every winter, I get into this rut. I feel like I'm always running the 2 minute drill. You football nuts out there know what I'm talking about.

Beats me, there are so many great cigars out there it’s hard to believe a true enthusiast would limit himself to just one maker. … Read More
Fonseca Vintage February 2nd, 2005 Steve R 90 By now I think you’ve come to realize that I don’t usually care for lighter bodied cigars. To add to this, I rarely light up a mellow bodied cigar on a regular basis. There are some exceptions, like K. Hansotia’s Symphony, AVO XO, 5 Vegas Gold and the new Perdomo Reserve Champagne.
