The Happy Little Cigar Book made me an expert of sorts. In addition to the “review” following I cultivate here people occasionally give me cigar gifts – something to try, judge review, etc. Yesterday a former law client and newly minted millionaire brought me two different boxes of allegedly hand-rolled smokes from the Dominican Republic.

Amazon it!

I know nothing of these cigars other than the larger is obviously a natural wrapper while the smaller is a maduro. They both appear well constructed and smell pretty good. I have never encountered either before in all my travels.

Google may be able to assist me with a little background. Anyway a review shall be forthcoming. I have no idea what to expect. I’ll post some pictures. Investigator Lovett is on the job.

In other news I recently sampled the new (to me) white-labeled Signature by Punch – a terrific little toro.

More to come – stay tuned.
