You won't find a bunch of foo-foo descriptions frequently found in the established and snooty cigar review outlets, nor will you find the typical snow-job descriptions dreamed up by enterprising cigar resellers. Get ready for brutal honesty; there's no blowing smoke up your skirt here!Never fear, we will not be swayed or influenced -- but we do welcome free samples for review-only purposes!More reviews are comin'... don't dispair.I apologize for the dearth of reviews. I've got three new sticks on deck, one of which will be published this weekend :).

Specifically, when purchasing a $65.00 stick, its typically not a good idea to have the wife there. Face it, unless she is incredibly understanding, or you happen to be mondo-flush with cash, most women are going to say How the hell do you justify that? text/html 2009-03-03T17:00:00+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/84/26/ There are times in life, where one is compelled to splurge. I found out today that I was awarded a special award from the company I work for, so I decided to celebrate this evening with a $145.00 bottle of scotch and a $30.00 cigar. The good news for me, is that this cigar was safely ensconced in a hermetically sealed tube, so even if the humidor from which it came from was at 78%, this stick is safely oblivious to that. According to my friendly (yet over-humidifying) tobacconist, the Beauty has well aged tobacco in it (he claims 20 years). It should pair nicely with the barely legal Macallan 18 year old that I've purchased. text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/80/26/ If there was EVER a compelling reason to start smoking cigars, Bad Dog cigars has the incentive package to beat all incentive packages with their current poster promotion. As Jack Nicholson said it best that girl's enough to put steam in a man's stride. I mean seriously!And no, the above picture ain't the poster I'm talkin' about. It can be found here (http://www.baddogcigars.com/collectables_posters.php) :). text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/82/26/ Ever have one of those days, where it was absolutely gorgeous outside.... the Gods weep, the earth moves... its absolutely that fantastic? Then ever have one of those moments where ya coulda made the right decision... butcha didn't, and the rest of the day proceeds to acquire major suck factor.... we're talkin' F5 tornado kinda suckage. Well, if not, may ya never have one of those days. If you have, well, know that there are few things a good cigar and fair ta middlin' scotch can't solve. I happen to hopefully be in posession of both, with one only Perdomo Reserve 10th Anniversary Champage, and a seriously strong belt of Bowmore Islay Single Malt Scotch. text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/81/26/ Thinkin' outside the box! Once again, this being the year of change and whatnot, I thought I'd take a foray into the unknown. The last time I was at my local cigar shop, I saw these rather non-descript boxes in a bin by the bargain/bulk cigars, and thought I'd give it a shot. text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/78/26/ There are some days where things have gone so awry that you just need to take a step back,sit down and relax with a cigar... text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/77/26/ In honor of the Arizona Cardinals' shocking and potentially horrifying superbowl appearance, Dan has a Partagas 160. text/html 2008-11-28T15:18:02+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/79/26/ Clearly not a cigar youd take to the TPC in Scottsdale, AZ, but hey... yardgar... executive course... who knows? Clearly not a pretentious cigar, and given the name, this may be a venture to new lows for Dan. text/html 2009-01-07T17:00:00+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/75/26/ Dan drowns his Valentine's day disappoiintment in Jack Daniels and a cheap cigar. text/html 2008-12-05T17:00:00+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/76/26/ So... given that this is a new year, and given the present state of the economy, and also given that I'm all about second chances, I thought I'd try these. I had an absolutely horrid experience with a bundle of these previously reviewed. text/html 2008-12-05T17:00:00+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/73/26/ First off, happy new year to my fellow stogie affecianados! May you all have an awesome New Year, and may the stupid S-CHIP bill die a painful death in Congress (it won't, but I can always hope). text/html 2008-12-05T17:00:00+01:00 http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com http://www.realfreakincigarreviews.com/content/view/72/26/ Once again, Duque cigar company (http://www.duquecigars.com/) comes through for Real Freakin' Cigar Reviews.
