Hey Everybody, It seems like just yesterday that we were getting excited for our 300,000th order celebration, but time flies and it’s actually been just a little more than a year since that momentous order. Apparently the orders fly along with the time, because we’re ready for another milestone and a great celebration to go [...]
About Travis
I've been smoking and selling cigars for many years. The only thing better than relaxing with a fine cigar after a hard day's work is relaxing with a fine cigar DURING a hard day's work! My all time favorite cigar is the Padron 1964 Anniversary Series with a Maduro wrapper, but my tastes can range all over the place. I mostly enjoy cigars in the medium-full range, but much like my taste in things like music, books and movies I can find something to enjoy in any style as long as there is quality behind it.
Other stuff about me, I grew up in New Hampshire and now reside here in Albany, NY. In my spare time I like to play poker, attend concerts and watch my beloved Boston Red Sox. Follow me on Twitter!

Cigar Review: Alec Bradley Fine & Rare 2012 Torpedo
October 25, 2012 By 2 Comments
Last year’s Alec Bradley Fine & Rare release was a serious highlight smoking experience for me, and I was thrilled when I heard there was going to be another version this year. I think Alec Bradley first announced it sometime in the spring, so it’s been a long wait but they are finally here. Our [...]

October 4, 2012 By Leave a Comment
I’m finally caught up on my work from spending much of last week in Honduras at the Rocky Patel cigar factory, and I wanted to share some info, pictures, and descriptions from the trip. I figured the best place to start is the same place all of our cigars start – with some tiny seeds. [...]
