Binny's Blog

Barrel to Bottle asked our crack team of buyers to pick their favorites for 2023.

It is time once again to roll out the red carpet and spotlight out favorite cigars of the year. We have tirelessly been tallying the votes and sifting through hundreds of suggestions from our dedicated staff to bring you The Binny’s top 10 cigars of 2022.

As the year winds down, we asked Binny's wine, spirits, beer and cigar buyers what impressed them the most in 2022.

Binny’s cigar buyer Jack Spethman makes his annual visit to the Barrel to Bottle studios to talk sticks with Pat and Roger. This time we're focusing on cigars for the golf course and other outdoor activities.

It’s that time again – when we announce our Top 10 Cigars of the year. 2021 was busy for cigar manufacturers, and we were delighted to see so many great new cigars grace our shelves at Binny’s. Each year, we ask our cigar consultants, managers and store associates for their favorites, and after hours of research, smoking, and deliberation, we are proud to present our Top 10 Cigars of 2021.

Pat and Roger are joined by Binny's Cigar Buyer Jack Spethman to talk all things sticks.

2020 was not a very typical year for many reasons, but we did have some great cigars to help us through.

You've heard the buyer's picks the last two weeks, but now it's time for the true authority, your beloved friends from the Barrel to Bottle Crew.

When the Barrel to Bottle crew wants to know what to drink, they turn to the Binny's buyers. Our buyers try thousands of products every year and have, collectively, hundreds of years of experience in this business.

The Barrel to Bottle Crew is looooooooong overdue for this episode. Luckily, we've got someone to guide us through this unexplored category; Binny's Buyer Jack Spethman.
