In a surprise rock star move, John Carney of La Flor Dominican took control of our coffee needs and demonstrated his barista skills, thus saving the day with his super human abilities.

Thank you John for all of your help with our sucessful La Flor events!

Welcome back to SundayStogie!  It was an amazing week for cigars here at Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe.  We kicked off the week with the A-List party and rolled right into Habanapalooza 2012 (check out the photos HERE) followed by our, It’s Only A Dream event.

Thank you to all of those who participated and attended our events!  We really appreciate all of your support.

Enjoy your Sunday and have a wonderful week!

I woke up this morning in my big empty bed and the only thoughts that kept pounding through my head were, “I wonder what my men at Sunday Stogie are doing? And I wonder what kind of mystery cigars they are going to tantalize my senses with”?
They are calling these cigars my, “blind dates”, which for a lonely woman like me sounds extremely stimulating. Being the cigar mistress that I am I love all shapes, all sizes and all colors. So I know that no matter what cigars they decide to tease me with they will all, or at least most of them, be mind blowing!
I can’t wait to hear your thoughts on my upcoming reviews! I will try not to disappoint you but beware…I am only satisfied with the best.

Good morning all.  It’s Sunday and time to reveal this weeks Classic Cigar Moments winner.  For the first time here I on SundayStogie I could not make up my mind so I have decided to award two winners this week.  Both winners will receive a La Sirena cigar compliments of Ike Karipides and Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe.

Co-winner 1: Chip Bomyea

Chip said: “Baseball and cigars, fathers and sons, memories for a lifetime. My son, Fred and I with an Avo trumpet and Partagas 1845 at Pesky Pole at the 100th anniversary of Fenway Park. While smoking is no longer allowed in an open air ball park, a story on itself, we were able to enjoy these fine smokes afterwards and reminisce about all the baseball we’ve watched and parks we’ve been too, and dream of all the memories to come.
Long ashes!”

Co-winner 2: Storm Boen

Storm said: A great night at the Serious Texas Houston Cigar Event!! Justin Sandlin is a hell of a guy I have met before it was great to finally meet La Sierena Cigar Lady, both were very classy and a pleasure to visit with!!

Thank you to all of you who shared your favorite cigar moments with us.  Keep smoking the good stuff.

Hanging out with the fellas at Habana Premium Cigar Shoppe smoking a J Grotto Reserve.  We had some fun playing with our new toy, The Swivl.  We are still getting use to it but I think it will work out just fine.  I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend!

Make no mistake about it, she understands the intricacies that make premium cigars what they are but her focus is right in line with what we look for here on SundayStogie; the moment.  The Cigar Mistress had a couple requests from us here at SundayStogie, the first is that we provide the cigars to fill her never ending cravings (OUR PLEASURE), secondly she will ALWAYS remain anonymous.  We have no problem with this in fact we kind of enjoy being able to keep a secret.  However, this will come at a cost to her…

We have decided to make this interesting for all those involved; we are not going to tell her what she is smoking.  She will be provided an un-banded cigar of our choice, followed by a review from here on the experience.  We will post her review on SundayStogie and soon there after we will let everyone know what she smoked. We don’t want her to get distracted by any preconceived notions; instead we want to take away some of the control she has grown so accustom to.  Consider it a “blind date” if you will.  Sticking with the SundayStogie philosophy, the Cigar Mistress will not use traditional rating methods by awarding a numerical score, rather she will use her own method.

The Cigar Mistress – Rating Scale

Got up and left – So bad she walked out.

One Night Stand – While exciting, not worth revisiting.

Regular rotation – Really satisfying but I need variety.

Can’t get enough – I wish it would never end!

Stay tuned you never know when she will be in the mood.

Smoking the La Sirena Prince distributed by Miami Cigars is like eating a steak dinner.  Every puff is so good you just don’t want it to end!

This was dinner last night at the Illium Cafe located in Troy, NY. I think this was the first time I ever felt guilty cutting into my dinner. However that only lasted until I had the first bite; then… GONE!

Fritz, I am not going to lie to you, the look on your face was enough for me!
