This past weekend I was kicking back and enjoying the atmosphere at a cigar-event-turned-herf when one of the guys turned to me and said, “you know what cigar I really enjoy? The Hoyo de Tradicion. When are you guys going to get around to reviewing it?” I was a little surprised at the question. As […]
Petite Tatuaje
Not sure how many “small cigar” reviews we’ve done on The Stogie Review. While I’ve tried a few of the small cigars out there, I’m normally not a fan. My experience has always been less than noteworthy. They always seem to burn too hot and too harsh for my liking. When I bought a cab […]
El Rey de los Habanos
The worst part of vacation is the part where you realize that the week has gone by too fast and you’re on a flight back home. Orlando was great! Got to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot for the first time and got to hangout with a few cigar peeps. While I was in Orlando I […]

Alec Bradley Tempus (Short Ashes)
For the first time in Short Ashes history, I decided to review something that I have not reviewed in the past. Instead I have reviewed a cigar that I have smoked several of over the past few months and that Brian was fortunate enough to get his hands on early in the release. That cigar […]
Arganese Nicaraguan Presidente (Short Ashes)

Reposado by AJ Fernandez (Guest Review)
Cigar: Reposado by AJ Fernandez Size: Salomon (7.1 x 58) Wrapper: Habano Filler: Nicaragua Drink: None Pre-light: Nice looking wrapper on a very large unbanded cigar.

Padilla Habano (Burberry Perfecto)
The Padilla Habano has been a favorite cigar for many of you out there and with the new addition of the Burberry Perfecto to the line, I don’t see that changing any time soon. This new Burberry Perfecto line adds more flair to the Padilla Habano’s already highly rated flavor profile and adds a few […]
Cruzado
I know…I know…I know…his name is Dion not Don. For whatever reason my mind was already in vacation mode so I kept saying Don instead of Dion. Video runs around 12 minutes and while I forget to say it in the video, the Cruzado gets the Great Torpedo Seal of Approval. Not only do I […]
