Fan Forums Upgraded
Back in August 2007 we opened the doors to the Stogie Review Fan Forums. Now, I’m not going to make any outlandish claims like a certain forum conglomerate does but over the past two and half years its grown into an impressive community both in quantity and quality. Its definitely exceeded any expectations we had […]
Cigar Shop Primer
Over the past year, online cigar sales have been booming. As a result, some local cigar shops are experiencing a downturn in sales. In addition to tough times at the cash register, the popularity of discount online retailers have kept many would-be customers from ever visiting a local shop in the first place. Due to […]

If you’ve been following me on Twitter the past few weeks you already know where this review is going. The My Father Le Bijou 1922 was released at the 2009 IPCPR in New Orleans. I’ll admit, the sample I got from the show wasn’t that impressive…maybe my palate was fried, maybe they were rushed, maybe […]
Berger & Argenti Exile Wired Corona
It seems like I’ve been waiting for years to try the Exile Wired. When I started doing my homework for this review, I could see why. I have. Maybe not years, plural, but the Wired had a lot of buzz around it back 2008, receiving high ratings when it was first introduced by the now […]
Accessory Review: Travel Humidor (Otterbox and Xikar)
When it comes to the hobby of cigar smoking, we all tend to follow along the same path early on in our hobby. For me, I started off storing my cigars in a small desktop humidor that I purchased from ebay. Within a month or so, I outgrew that humidor and moved to creating a […]
Ask The Readers: What do you use for humidification?
Over the past years I’ve been a big supporter and user of humidification beads. Whether its in the form of The Puck or contained within a pair of pantyhose. Recently, I’ve come into possession of Cigar Oasis Ultra to try and see how it performs in one of my humidors. I’ll admit that I was […]
The 2009 Tarries Cigar Award Show
It’s the cigar award show you didn’t realize you were eagerly awaiting. The Tarries celebrates the unusual aspects of the cigar industry, shining an industrial-sized spotlight on dubious distinctions that may be either points of pride or the stuff of shame. But either way, nothing anyone wants to be known for! And without further ado, […]
