Thank you for your interest in the Tiny Tim Cigar Blog during the past year. I hope you enjoyed the reviews as much as I did doing them.
Hopefully the YouTube reviews added something positive to the review process.
Thanks go out to the companies who supplied cigars for review.
If any company would like their cigars reviewed simply contact me and we'll set it up.
Here's looking forward to 2013 and another year of great cigars!
