Every now and then it happens. The weekly review deadline looms near, and have to frantically dig through the humidor looking for just the right cigar to review. Oh, who am I kidding, that’s just about every week, and “the right cigar” is anything I have enough of to do a fair review. But this […]

A Short Session With Avo Uvezian
I like steak dinners, cigars and socializing as much as the next guy, but I have to be honest, the real reason I attended the Avo Cigar Dinner this past Friday at Cabernet Steakhouse was to see and hear Avo Uvezian play the piano. And after the boxes of LE 10’s were signed, pictures with […]
Your Questions, My Answers (YQMA) – Episode 41
After a long, long, long hiatus, we are back with a new episode of Your Questions, My Answers (YQMA).

Smokin Tweets Published In Cigar Snob
A couple of months ago I wrote an article on my personal blog talking about the benefits of cigar manufacturers utilizing the Twitter service. After the article made the rounds on Twitter and a handful of people got a look at it, I was approached by Cigar Snob Magazine to write a similar article to […]
Avo Limited Edition 2010 Super Robusto
2010 has been around just about long enough now for me to get used to writing “10” instead of “09.” And a new year (I know, I’m really stretching the meaning of “new” at this point) means a new Avo limited edition. The Avo Limited Edition 2010, or “LE 10” as it is commonly called, […]
Alec Bradley Tempus (Guest Review)
Ed and I have returned for our monthly guest review here on The Stogie Review. This time around we review the Alec Bradley Tempus. This is Alec Bradley’s flagship cigar, and is my top pick for 2009. I find myself smoking them on a regular basis to this day. Brian and Walt reviewed the Tempus […]
CAO La Traviata (Animados)
So you’re probably scratching your head and asking yourself, “another La Traviata review?” We’ve covered the CAO La Traviata a lot here on Stogie Review. I got a sneak peek before the 2009 IPCPR, then Brian and I reviewed it in a episode of The Herfing Heads, it made my Top 10 list for 2009, […]
