GunsmokeArsenal Ready Rack: A Tactical Cigar Tube Luke Cuenco 11.07.25 I’ve been known to enjoy a cigar every now and again when in the right company, and today I’ve learned of one of the newest offerings that intersects the gun world, courtesy of my good friend Brandon Travino. GunsmokeArsenal’s Ready Rack is a cleverly designed cigar tube that mounts right onto your M-LOK or KeyMod rail. Machined from aerospace-grade aluminum with a mil-spec anodized coating, this waterproof tube holds a single cigar up to 6.25 inches long, making it perfect for those who appreciate a bit of luxury amid the hard use of hunting or field operations. It comes complete with mounting hardware, tools, and even a cedar spill to maintain that premium smoke experience wherever you count your shots.

I have a video review with Ken scheduled this afternoon (Diplomaticos Exclusivo Suiza Regional) Post on this thread if there are any questions you would like us to cover All questions on any topic are welcome

This series to explore whether a particular cigar is humidor worthy. Cost these days is an issue for many so let's see if we can highlight some absolute standouts. This should particularly assist those new to the cigar world. To be fair, most of the cigars we have featured to date have scored exceptionally well. Surprisingly well! Scoring is: 1-3 (Poor) 4-6 (Average to good) 7-10 (very good to excellent) Use the Poll. You are more than free to comment away Cuba's Double Corona stable is legendary. Lusitania, Punch DC, Hoyo DC. Throw in the lost Saint Luis Rey DC, Vegas Robaina Don Alejandro. How/where does the Ramon Allones Gigantes fit into this legendary group? Ramon Allones Gigantes. Have your say!

If you were lucky, your mum and dad could afford a slot car track. That was a big deal as you were "king of the street". If not, then you likely had one of these loop tracks. One of these + a bike and let the good times roll Space Invaders (1978) was the beginning of the end.

...I should take up writing headline copy Anyway, back to this story which will surprise ...well...no-one. All diplomatic staff in Cuba do it. Of course some at a larger scale than others. Let's get back to the Commie Korean Flippers! Former North Korean ambassador to Cuba uncovers tobacco smuggling ring The North Korean embassy in Cuba was the base for the smuggling of cigars. They buy them for $50 a box, pack them in the diplomatic luggage, and sell them abroad for $1,000. Thursday, November 6, 2025 - 14:05 Habano "Punch La Isla" and Lee Il-kyuPhoto © Habanos S.A. and X / Chosun Daily The former North Korean ambassador to Cuba, Lee Il-kyu, revealed a complex network of smuggling, espionage, and political influence woven by the regime of Kim Jong-un in Latin America. He asserted that the North Korean embassy in Havana served as a base for smuggling Habanos cigars, one of the most lucrative activities for North Korean officials. "They put the cigars in the diplomatic bags, which are not inspected; they buy them in Cuba for 50 dollars a box and sell them abroad for 1,000 dollars," he revealed. The former official stated that "all diplomats are involved in those dealings," because the official salaries they receive from Pyongyang are so low that they are insufficient to live in the countries where they are posted. This type of illegal operations, protected by diplomatic immunity, is a widespread practice within the regime's external network, not only in Latin America but also in Africa and Southeast Asia. https://en.cibercuba.com/noticias/2025-11-06-u1-e43231-s27061-nid314383-exembajador-corea-norte-cuba-destapa-red-contrabando

The Over-Sized Cigar Trend Nov 6, 2025 | By Jack Bettridge 2025 Big Smoke Las Vegas Seminars A demonstrable comparison. Normally, a Room101 7 by 70 cigar looks enormous. Not here. When Mottola holds it up against C.L.E.’s April Fool’s, it almost looks small. CONTINUED

November Cigar in Focus: Puro Desnudo Cañonazo Aroma at cold: coffee beans, toasted tobacco, molasses Blend notes & body: Honey opening. The cigar strolls slowly through the first third and builds intensity. The second third is all bakery/croissant and espresso with a dash of cream. In the last third, a little bit of magic comes into play. Bread and butter pudding, almonds and leather all come together. Medium bodied while occasionally poking its head above into the medium-full bodied range. “The Cañonazo was the first in the Puro Desnudo range. There’s a very simple reason why: the blend was absolutely outstanding. It captured everything I love about truly great Cubanesque cigars; that honeyed sweetness, creamy elegance, and, as we are finding, a tremendous ceiling when it comes to ageing. The Cañonazo can throw some serious punches against the world’s best and at a fraction of the price. Hamlet and I continue to make cigars for smokers to enjoy every day.
