Frank Llaneza 1961
This review comes courtesy of Chad Airhart (Stogie1) from www.stogie1.wordpress.com Yesterday evening while sitting at the Cigar shop, the tobacconist there walked in with a box of Frank Llaneza 1961’s.

Factual Cigar Database
Back in June I got an email from Grant over at Factual. In the email Grant introduced himself and described Factual as the “Wikipedia of Data“. He told me that he stumbled onto Stogie Review and liked what he saw. As a result, he invited me to have a look at the beta site. What […]

In this episode we review the new CAO La Traviata (dare we say Cigar of The Year), cigar smoking etiquette, IPCPR, CRA and other random cigar shit. Video lasts over an hour so I use the Viddler player so you can fast forward/seek to […]
El Titan De Bronze Redemption Maduro Robusto
There’s a chance you haven’t heard. Mexican San Andreas wrappers seem to be the new hot trend in the cigar world. As I was preparing for this review, I was able to count off, by memory, four cigars introduced at this year’s IPCPR trade show that are sporting this fashionable leaf. And yes, the cigar […]
