Warped Futuro - Review

It's really hard for me to consider Warped as a "boutique" brand nowadays, which ultimately can be considered a ode to the success of the brand over the past decade. They started out small, as all companies do, but with top notch blends and a modern...

Fiat Lux by Luciano - Review

I know I tend to be pretty dramatic when it comes to cigars, but Fiat Lux is undoubtedly the best blend in Luciano's portfolio at this point in time. To take it even one step further, it's easily one of the best Sumatra-wrapped blends in all of ciga...
