So you have a special day coming up, for this particular day there isn’t a doubt in your mind that a gift is in order. You’ve always wanted to get the gift of cigars from your significant other / kids / parents / fiends, but you knew that day was probably not coming anytime soon. […]
Ramon Allones Specially Selected
I think this is our first Cuban cigar here at The Stogie Review and our first review at a National Monument. Maybe I should travel all around DC and record a review at every historical monument so you get a cigar review and a tour of the Nation’s Capital. Anyway, this week I’m reviewing the […]
Flor de Oliva Gold (Blind Tasting)

Just like during the Jameson Black Label and Red Label tasting, the guys loosened up and had a good time. After about an hour of smoking, all cigars were extinguished and I was left with […]

Vintage 1982 Cerdan Welles
It’s not everyday you get to smoke a cigar that’s nearly as old as you are. (OK, so I’m not quite that young, but hey, it’s not that far off!) So when we were offered the chance to review a cigar that was born in 1982, I jumped at the offer. The catch was that […]
Interview wih Abe Flores of Pinar del Rio Cigars
Last week I had the pleasure of smoking the Flor de Cesar Red Label. As it turns out, someone who knew the manufacturer dropped them a line to inform them about the review. Shortly after, we received a comment on the review by one Abe Flores, who is responsible for the blend. Shortly after the […]
