Cigars & Smoking Tobacco InformationLa Aurora cigars roll into Easton - Have you ever seen how they roll premium cigars, or smoked a freshly rolled cigar? It's pretty cool. If you haven't had either of these experiences, you'll have the opportunity this Saturday, April 7, from 12 to 4:00 PM as Famous Smoke Shop welcomes La Aurora cigars for a cigar tasting event - and one of their top torceadors will be there to roll cigars for your smoking pleasure.

You'll find me listed under the Departments section as the "Cruisin' Cigar Man." I don't know why I haven't mentioned this gig sooner, since I've been writing for them for almost two years now, but better late than never. More... That aligning the cigar bands thing - A couple of weeks ago I bought myself a new cigar humidor. After seasoning it for about four days, it was time to put in the cigars. I decided that the new box would be used for my everyday cigars, while my primo puros remained in my older cigar humidors. I had to do a lot of digging, and it's amazing what you find down in the bowels of the box. More... New blog sites for CigarAdvisor.com - It's been good having the blog here on CigarAdvisor.com. In fact, during a CigarAdvisor blog search I did recently, I found that there are many other BOTL's pointing to this blog, so thank you very much for pointing others to this site. But in the interest of reaching even more cigar smokers, I'm now also posting blogs at the following two blog sites. More... Coming soon! Better Dominican wrapper leaf - Since they first began growing Cuban-seed tobacco in the Dominican Republic, one of the toughest challenges for master cigar blenders has been trying to grow a really good wrapper leaf that would result in creating a Dominican "puro." That is, a cigar blended with tobaccos all from the same country. More... Meet The Cusanos at Famous Smoke Shop - If you're a cigar smoker who lives in or near the Lehigh Valley of Eastern PA/Western NJ, join Famous Smoke Shop in their Retail Store on Saturday, March 24 as they welcome Joe Cusano and J.T. Guagliardo of Cusano Cigars. The Famous Smoke Shop Retail Store, which is located next door to their headquarters in Easton (Forks Township), PA, will hold the event from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Joe and J.T. will meet and greet all the attendees, talk about their Cusano premium cigar selections, and answer questions. More... What's it with me and ACID cigars all of a sudden? - A few blogs back, I wrote about how much I enjoyed the ACID Wafe cigars, which is what brought me to today's topic. Although I write about cigars by day, by night I'm a struggling musician working in my basement recording studio. Sometimes I like to light-up a cigar while I'm working, but the room isn't very big and fills with smoke rather quickly. More... Famous Smoke Shop adds more smokin' events to its calendar - New Famous Smoke Shop Retail Store manager, Jeff Brown, is determined to keep cigar smokers in the Lehigh Valley and other parts of the tri-state area busy with plenty of in-store events and herfs. Here are some of the bigger events coming up at which you may want to participate. More... A very splendid Davidoff evening - This past Wednesday (Feb. 21), I and about 40 other cigar smokers attended a cigar dinner hosted by Famous Smoke Shop and Davidoff of Geneva. The event, which was held at Silver Creek Country Club in Hellertown, PA included a gourmet array of scotch, wine, fine food, and Davidoff cigars. More... |
