At Statesman, it’s not about simply selling a product, it’s about bringing people into an experience. Our mission is to bring as many people into the Statesman lifestyle, a lifestyle of memorable cigar-smoking experiences, sophisticated elegance, and the most important thing – g ..read more

Let The Doctor delve into the past and paint you a picture. Tis a stiflingly hot summer afternoon, perhaps a Thursday, sometime in the halcyon days of the early nineties. TNCC chairman Matthew Cade and myself are wandering the horror aisles of our local video store, both of us with King Cobra malt liquor on our breath and suffused with a wanton sense of youthful invincibility. A brilliant shard of sunlight, dancing with dust motes, suddenly alights upon the VHS boxes for the Sleepaway Camp franchise. We never looked back, and thus began a decades-long love affair with the first three Sleepaway ..read more

BLACKENED Cigars “M81” by Drew Estate is a passion project that brings together three immensely talented and vastly experienced cigar enthusiasts — Jonathan Drew, Founder and President of Drew Estate; James Hetfield, Metallica co-founder, singer and guitarist; and Rob Dietrich, the Master Distiller and Blender of BLACKENED American Whiskey. The collaboration began with Hetfield and Dietrich, who frequently enjoy cigars together. “It is really a fun social thing for me, a fellowship, to have a few buddies sit around with a few sticks,” Hetfield says. “My buddy, Rob Dietrich, BLACKENED’s Master ..read more

Recent ominous events of both a domestic and global nature reminded The Doctor that life is fleeting and one should always enjoy God’s plentiful bounty. Therefore when Tuesday Night Cigar Club chairman Cade informed me that Eli Roth’s Thanksgiving was now available on Netflix my only thought was, why the hell not? With several airplane minis of Bulleit bourbon scattered about the sideboard, I had my Saturday evening planned. In preparation, I went back and watched the titillating Thanksgiving “trailer” directed by Roth that was included in the Quentin Tarantino/Robert Rodriguez collaboration o ..read more

One of the remote controls in my lair started malfunctioning recently. This is an unacceptable happenstance when you consider that I prefer not to leave my lair on winter weeknights unless absolutely necessary. What followed was an outlay of nearly $40 on batteries at a local drugstore which further incentivized me to make sure that I was getting my money’s worth out of my streaming services. Thus I began to keep a bastardized ledger of accounting. I’ll spare you the details, except to say that as the end of January drew nigh my ledger informed The Doctor that I needed to watch something on Sh ..read more

It doesn’t happen very often, but occasionally a package of cigars will arrive here at TNCC headquarters that catches us by surprise. A package that we weren’t expecting, a package in which the sender didn’t reach out for our address, no introductory emails were sent ahead of time… a box just shows up. How did they find us? Are they watching me right now as I type this? The small white box from Crux Cigars left me shaken and disturbed, and all these questions and more kept pounding my mind over and over again like a… no, no, of course I’m being just a bit dramatic here. We get sent cigars ofte ..read more

They’re all outstanding smokes, just click on the link for each cigar and it will take you directly to the review page so you can read our thoughts on it. While the vast ma ..read more
