Review of Arturo Fuente Rare Pink “Sophisticated Hooker”

Some cigars arrive with fanfare that feels earned rather than manufactured. The Arturo Fuente Rare Pink—affectionately nicknamed the "Sophisticated Hooker" thanks to the amusing juxtaposition of its foot band—is precisely such a creation. On a recent Saturday evening at The Oasis, the backyard sanctuary transformed from its weekday hibernation into a lively refuge for those of us seeking an escape from the soul-crushing obligation known as "weekend family time." Nothing says Gen X rebellion quite like sneaking away for a premium smoke while claiming to be "checking the lawn sprinkler settings."

Traveling with Cigars: A Journey of Flavor, Safety, Fun and Enjoyment!

Throughout time you're always traveling, and I would like to talk about traveling with cigars. A few years ago, a very good friend of mine and I did a lot of traveling between California and Idaho where we had to transport personal belongings and spent many hours on the road. Throughout our travels we enjoyed fine cigars and there were many trips that I had to travel by myself where I still enjoyed my cigars.

Brick and Mortar vs the Internet

Here in California, with the rampant taxes and add ons to already overused State coffers…ok, not going to get political…down boy…good dog.

A Brief History of Tobacco

Once upon a time. A long, long time ago. Cave men discovered the tobacco plant. It was large, covered in a scale like material. First used to keep them warm, but the plant gave off such a pleasant smell when it was burned it was used for many different applications. One was to bath in the smoke to remove their smell for hunting and mating. However, A large asteroid, known as Chicxulub, was coming towards the planet. Its impact off the coast of Mexico would change everything. Wiping them off the map and all the uses and knowledge was lost.
