A Passion for Puro d’Oro
I’m sure by now most of you have heard of the new Puro d’Oro offering from the folks at Davidoff. Last night I was fortunate enough to be invited by Mike Copperman to cover a Puro d’Oro launch event at his shop, Bethesda Tobacco (a CRA Great American Cigar Shop), in Bethesda MD. I’ll let […]
Rocky Patel Decade Edicion Limitada Robusto
Just when you thought Brian has reviewed every limited release that has hit the shop shelves in the past six months, I surprise you with another. This time around it’s a special edition from the perpetually prolific Rocky Patel. One released with surprisingly little fanfare. I first became aware of the cigar when it appeared […]

Tatuaje L’esprit de Verite – Pre Release (Guest Review)
This review comes courtesy of DannyP6228 from the Stogie Review Fan Forums I am a huge Tatuaje fan, but I wasn’t always. The first experience I had with a Tatuaje was a miserable one. It was a Havana VI Almirantes I had several years ago that was so poorly constructed I could not even smoke […]
Fuente Fuente Opus X Pussy Cat
Following last week’s monolithic maduro, it seemed only fair to try on a the opposite extreme from the latest release of Arturo Fuente special edition cigars, the Fuente Fuente Opus X Pussy Cat. Ordinarily I avoid reviewing cigars from lines thave have been covered in the past, but this is a special vitola and different […]
