| Viaje Chiquito 2018 Heads to Boiling Springs Wine & Cigar
 The Viaje Chiquito is back for another year. It’s somewhat of odd timing for the cigar, which previously was released every other year on odd-numbered years. The 4 7/8 x 51 perfecto is a Nicaraguan puro using a criollo wrapper. A spokesperson for Viaje said the blend is the same and ...

| Cigar Review: Todos Las Dias
“Todos Las Dias is my personal Spanglish translation meaning ‘All the Days,’” said Steve Saka, Dunbarton’s owner, in a press release. “The workers at Joya de Nicaraguan often cringe at my casual butchering of their mother tongue, but in my opinion cigars are far more than a grammar lesson to abide, they are the physical manifestation of a feeling and of an experience. It is a supple, sungrown Cuban Seed capa which encapsulates its intricate tripa recipe of rich Jalapa and Esteliano tobaccos. From the first puff, there is no...
