While the forecast does call for some unseasonably warm weather over the next week or so, it still isn’t t-shirt & shorts weather for most of us. You may find yourself in the mood for a cigar, but either the weather isn’t cooperating or you just don’t have the time for a fuller-sized cigar and don’t want a cigarillo. Something out of the half-Corona sized selection works perfectly in these circumstances. From milder Dominicans like the Macanudo Connecticut Ascot to fuller flavour cigars like the H. Upmann Half Corona, there is something for every level of cigar smoker within this size. Come on down and check them out!

On this windy and blustery day, we just wanted to remind everybody that when they are done smoking their pipe, cigar, cigarillo, or cigarette, please make sure you dispose of the remains in a safe and responsible manner. Spinning ashtrays like the ones in the picture are great for this as they allow you to “hide” the ash with one simple press. We have these and many more ashtrays in stock. Come on down and check them out!

We have a new blog post up about the tour of Mexico & Casa Turrent lead by Stephen. You can read it at

«Adonde fueres, haz lo que vieres !» {Wherever you go, do whatever you see.} With a little license granted for translation, this popular Mexican saying fits closely with my philosophy. In late October, early November of 2024 I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to visit Mexico City, Vera Cruz,...

Cuban cigar prices have gone crazy the past few years and sadly won’t be getting any better. There are still some great wallets-friendly options for a hand-rolled cigar like the Quai d’Orsay or the Rafael Gonzalez. Both of these are also very approachable brands in terms of intensity of flavour. Come on down and check them out!

We still have a few tins left of the highly sought-after Cringle Flake 2023 & 2024. The 2024 version is the last ever Cringle Flake, so come on down and get some while you can.
