Bought these from Crave Cupcakes over in the Galleria area. Maybe it’s the beginning of my mid-life crisis?!

Cigar Review - Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve Belicoso
Romeo y Julieta was probably the first line of cigars I really started to like when I began my “smoking years” at the tender age of 21.

Cigar Review - Carlos Torano Signature Collection Toro
Ok I know I’ve been slacking on the reviews, but I managed to sneak in a little vacation time before the arrival of our 2nd kid. So I thought I’d get back into the swing of things by reviewing a very well regarded cigar, the Carlos Torano Signature Collection Toro. (more…)
