Saturday Smokin’ Summary – 7/17/09

Ricky — Sat, 18 Jul 2009 10:25:12 +0000

Yes, yes… it’s back. I have no excuse for my delinquency so just keep reading and see what’s going on around the cigar world. First, Richmond, California has decided that their residents can’t smoke in their homes…well, their apartments and condos anyway.

Okay, so I got one cigar in this week, but not one to rave or whine about in review. Thank goodness there’s a healthy cigar blogosphere to keep us in the loop of all the great cigars out there to smoke. Here’s a few of them:

Rocky Patel Summer Collection 2009 – Stogie Review
Fuente Fuente Opus X Perfeccion No. 2 – The Stogie Guys
Partagas Serie D No. 5 Limited Edition 2008 – Cigar Inspector
Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles – KOTF
Illusione Epernay – A Cigar Smoker’s Journal

Don’t fear, my faithful readers, the cigar reviews will continue in the near future. Thanks for being so patient.

Okay, first, a very huge congratulations to the Pittsburgh Penguins for winning a hard-fought game 7 in the 2009 NHL Stanley Cup Finals. Damn, what a series that was!

So, I know it’s been a little blank around here. Let me apologize for that. This week was just crazy. Thanks to Se7en_Vandalay for helping out with a guest review of the CAO Brazilia Box Press. The good thing about the internet is that there’s never any lack of information in other places. That being said, here’s what went on around the cigar blogs this week:

Rocky Patel Spring Collection – Stogie Review
Oliva Master Blends 3 Torpedo – Cigar Inspector
Kristoff Ligero Maduro – Puffing Cigars
La Flor Dominicana Premium Line – Nice Tight Ash
Savinelli Special Selection 2005 Robusto – The Stogie Guys

Alright, y’all… There’s your SSS for the week. Hope y’all are off to a great weekend.

Happy Saturday y’all. Well, it is for some, but it might not be for others. This week bore some bad news for the cigar smokers in North Carolina and Wisconsin. It bore some good news, though, for Texas. More on that later today. Anyway, I wasn’t really able to get any reviews up this week, but I did finally get the Lancero Head-To-Head Group 1 winner announced.

Oh, and if you haven’t noticed already, if you look to the right you’ll see the facebook icon. Go become a fan of the Cigar Command page!!
