  • Jaegerschnitzel = Delicious

    Today is the 13th day of the Month and even though it is a Sunday not a Friday, I decided to finally light up my Tatuaje JV13 (Jason Voorhees from Friday the 13th Movie) cigar. It is a beautiful 7 1/2 x 52 stick with a nice medium spicy, sweet cocoa flavor. After all, isn’t a special…

  • Spice and Nice

    Another cold California morning so, I decided to light up the Tatuaje Fausto FT140 Robusto Extra cigar. It is a Nicaraguan cigar with a Habano Ecuador wrapper and a Nicaraguan Binder and Filler. Measures in at 5 and half inches with a 52 ring gauge. It starts off right away with an overpowering spiciness. Is…

  • Happy April Fool’s Day

    April Fools Day and amazingly I didn’t prank anyone and I wasn’t pranked. To be honest, I forgot it was April Fool’s Day until this evening and by then, I was too tired to care. What a rough week and a great way to end it is with a La Gloria Cubana Serie N. I…

  • J. Fuego Sangre de Toro Cigars

Jesus handed me the belicoso size, (5.5 x 52). This is a Nicaraguan cigar made with dark Nicaraguan Colorado wrapper and blended with aged…

  • My Father Cigars and An Airshow

    Sitting outside in my back patio grilling some steak on a very cloudy Sunday afternoon here in the Southern portion of the IE. This weekend sucks… I mean weather wise… I took the family to the Riverside Airshow yesterday and we had fun but, it was extremely cloudy and kept looking like we were going to…

  • In Memory – James C. Allison

    Today I attended a memorial service for James C. Allison who was the previous owner of the Tobacco Barn in Lake Forest, California. I maybe bias but, I believe the Barn as we all call it, is the best Tobacco (cigar/pipe) Shop in the USA. Anyway, this was a great memorial service for a great…

  • Premium Cuban Hand Rolled

    Today, I stopped by my favorite tobacco shop, the Tobacco Barn and I was given a cigar that I know nothing about and tried it out of curiosity… I am always willing to try a cigar no matter if it is a super premium to a really cheap one. I have found some cheap cigars to…

  • Beer + Cigars = AWESOME!

    When I first saw the title of this story about the Canadian Women’s Hockey Team celebrating their gold medal victory with cigars and beers, I thought AWESOME! After watching the video of the story with Skip Bayless ranting on and on about setting an example for young girls and yadda, yadda, it makes me want…

  • Cheap Cigar Friday

    Like the title? I was inspired to use it in honor of the TobaccoBarn.com’s new web page of inexpensive cigars and also for some crazy reason I decided to light up a cheap cigar. Who knows, maybe I will make every Friday, a Cheap Cigar Friday. I started to have flash backs of the times…

  • Romeo y Julieta Habana Reserve

    First I want to Congratulate the New York Giants for winning the Super Bowl on Sunday. It had to be the best  Super Bowl I have seen in a very long time. Way to Go Giants! Maybe next year Patriot Fans; however, I still give New England praise for having an awesome run. We may…
