With today being a bit slow here at Stogie Review as a result of the long holiday weekend, I thought I’d share with you something hot off the presses. Less than a half hour ago I received an email from Alec Bradley Cigars with their latest press release. It seems there is some news on […]
Pairing Wine and Cigars: An Intermediate Guide
It is a well known fact that most cigar smokers enjoy a smoke with some form of beverage. The most common are beer (Pairings 101: Cigars and Beer), spirits (Pairings 101: Cigars and Spirits), and coffee (Pairings Coffee and Cigars: Science or Serendipity?). It seems that, for some reason, cigar enthusiasts do not think of […]
Pinar del Rio Clasico Exclusivo – Lancero – Short Ashes
About a month ago I received a nice package from Tony Casas that included 3 of these Pinar Del Rio Clasico Exclusivo Lancero’s so I figured why not do a short ashes for your viewing pleasure. Walt did a full review of this exact same cigar on May 29th, 2009. I will refer you back […]

Illusione ~88~ Robust
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).

Realizing that Stogie Review had a […]
