LHC Oscuro Fuerte October 15th, 2009 Keith 90 New off the rolling tables in Esteli, Nicaragua comes Oscuro Fuerte, a gorgeous line extension from La Herencia Cubana. This rich, extra-strong LHC brings big flavor and knee-knocking strength. Take a seat son, this will only hurt a little. Indeed, Oscuro Fuerte is a powerhouse blend packing heat and bringing the thunder. Its potent, sumptuous PA Broadleaf maduro wrapper pairs with bold, searing … Read More
Man O' War Ruination May 21st, 2009 Keith 95 Man O’ War Ruination. Oh yes.

And while the article’s author and grievance mongers he quoted huffed about seeing a cigar on screen, nary a word was spoken … Read More
Reposado '96 Habano March 11th, 2009 Keith 90 Hoo baby! Reposado ’96 Habano Salomons are attention grabbing, 7.1” x 58 figurados. These beauties are dark, oily, toothy and down right attractive. Quite frankly, when I first saw these Reposados (knowing that they were going to be sold for only $2), I was floored.
