I went into The Corner Of No Hope this evening feeling a little dejected, as I had tried unsuccessfully to make tonight’s film discussion revolve around a double-feature of shark movies but the Video-On-Demand Gods didn’t allow that to happen.

Check out the live show! Go to http://www.cigarmedia.tv/live/ where the show is broadcast live most Friday evenings at 9 PM EST. Cigar of the Week - Berger Argenti Entubar. ENTUBAR® is a truly unique creation that pays tribute to the time-honored Cuban cigar making technique known as ‘entubar’ while also establishing an innovative patent-pending process of cigar manufacturing not seen in the premium cigar industry before. Each deeply aged Nicaraguan filler leaf is carefully rolled into itself creating delicate ‘scrolls’ of rich, flavorful tobacco. This age-old method ensures open chambers of air flow from the foot to the head of the cigar, creating a superior draw. What makes this new brand stand apart from all others is the revolutionary manufacturing process and appearance of the ENTUBAR® cigar. The ligero tobacco that lend the cigar its unique full body is bunched independently before being ‘re-bunched’ directly into the center of the remaining ‘entubar’ rolled filler blend. This ligero ‘channel’ ranges the full length of the cigar and extends ¼ inch beyond the finished trimmed foot, creating a startlingly unique ‘fuse like’ appearance that virtually assures a perfect conical burn, long white ash and a rich, complex mosaic of flavors directly focused to the aficionado’s palate. Due to the meticulous small batch production of ENTUBAR®, only a limited number of tobacconists are authorized as ENTUBAR® merchants in the United States. Comprised of all Cuban seed Nicaraguan filler and binder tobaccos, ENTUBAR® is graced with an Ecuadorian ‘Desflorado’ Connecticut-seed wrapper which lends its characteristically long, sweet finish. ENTUBAR QUAD MADURO®, which is box pressed ‘Habano’, is cloaked in a Nicaraguan Cuban-seed Sun-Grown Maduro wrapper aged in oak barrels since 2002. ENTUBAR® is available in five (5) unique vitolas characterized by sumptuously large ring gauges: Corona Macho (4 5/8” x 48); Robusto (5 3/8” x 54); Double Corona (7 5/8” x 54); Torpedo (6 7/8” x 56) and Gran Toro (6 5/8” x 64 – this size not available for ENTUBAR QUAD MADURO®). Available in rustic Spanish cedar boxes of 20 cigars, the suggested retail price of each cigar ranges from $7.99 to $11.99. What else have you been smokin' Dale? Cohiba (red dot) Churchill 7” x 49 - The famous Cohiba brand from General Cigar’s Dominican Republic factory. Camaroon wrapper, Indonesian Jember binder and Dominican Piloto Cubano filler. Nice spice from the wrapper and a good example of the flavors from Dom. Piloto Cubano - cedar & leather with a nice acidic component. A good cigar, but way over-priced (trading on the famous Cohiba name) at $20+ MSRP. Partagas Serie D No 4 (2008) - For many people, the favorite robusto coming from Habanos SA. Creamy and full flavored stick with outstanding aroma! Traditional Cuban tobacco character with honey, cocoa, plum and spice complexities. Man O War Puro Authentico - I smoked the last stick from the box I bought last month, and my opinion remains the same. A powerful, magnificent cigar. Deep in flavor, well constructed and a pure joy to smoke. This will join the list of cigars I will always keep on hand What else have you been smokin' Bob?

Picked up a little spice in the last third. Dale: Excellent mild-med double robusto sized cigar with a light wrapper. Nuts, oats and a dried fruit (raisins) sweetness.

The Capadura line comes from Luba Cigar Corporation in Miami, FL. Luba Cigar Corp. has a mission of importing and distributing Artesian handcrafted cigars from small tabacaleras, who maintain consistent quality and taste by using the same tobaccos from the same fincas, and fermented by the same processors every year. Also available in Robusto, Torpedo and Jumbo sizes, Capadura cigars come packaged in wooden boxes of 25 cigars. Our Cigar of the Week selection to end the month of September is a traditional 7” x 48 ring gauge Churchill. Dale "the road warrior" is back from the Republic of Kalifornia, kudos to the Four Seasons hotel in Palo Alto for superior service!

Zarzuela is a boutique brand blended by Master Cigar Maker Felix Rodriguez and Eddy Fontana Zarzuela based in Miami.
