Video is a bit different this time and runs 18:22. I did a dry run of using ustream.tv to stream a live video of me reviewing the Rocky Patel Fusion. Thanks to Bernard and Richard from the Stogie Fan Forum for participating. It was a lot of fun and I think this has a lot […]
Makers of cigars fear bill’s burn
Stogie Fan Forum
One of the recommendations we received on how we can make The Stogie Review better was to have a Forum/Message Board so that Stogie Review visitors can communicate with each other as well as give us another avenue to communicate with you. I’d like to take a moment to introduce the Stogie Fan Forum. You […]
Ashton VSG
Up for review this week is the Ashton VSG. This particular stick was requested for review a couple of weeks back. Being one of the first cigars I laid eyes on as I rummaged through my cooler, I decided it was about time I stopped looking at it and started smoking it. During a quick […]

Wow! Check out the babbling idiot in the video! Like I promised, I’m back! I forgot how awkward it is to talk to a camera. This will definitely take another video or two before I’m back into the swing of things. I was a bit uncomfortable in my new studio. Anyway, it was some time […]
Good Byes, Welcomes & Updates
I’m not a glass empty kind of guy so we’ll start with the good bye part. We all know that sometimes in life things just don’t work out. It’s never someone’s fault or something in particular that triggers it, as the old saying goes, shit happens. With that, I (the collective I) would like to […]
Davidoff Cigarillo
Today I decided to do a little digging in the humidor and fill a request for a “Little Cigar” for those that are tight on time. The cigar I walked away with is the Davidoff Cigarillo. This little guy weighs in at 4 inches long with a 23 ring gauge. These are machine made in […]
Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro
After a much needed short vacation, I return this week with a Review of the Arturo Fuente 8-5-8 Maduro. I picked up a few of these sticks to try a few months ago while stopping into a local B&M. With a price tag of $3.75 I decided to give them a shot.
