The earthquakes and tsunamis that ravaged Japan earlier this year may no longer be in the headlines, but that doesn’t mean all has returned to normal in the archipelago nation. The process of cleaning up and recovering from the disaster will take years, with a high cost that is nearly impossible to accurately estimate. The […]
Herf’n Heads – Featuring the La Aurora 100 Años
If you were to jump into a time machine and flash back to 2009, you would find a series here on Stogie Review entitled Herf’n Heads. This series was put together by Jerry and Brian to take a standard Joint Review and add a Herf’n feel to it. What it boiled down to was a […]

Esencia 2008
Over the past couple of weeks I have been telling myself that I wanted to revisit the Esencia line of cigars. I would pick up a couple at Sir Stogies and wind up smoking them before I could get a chance to record the video. This cycle continued until I placed an Esencia into my […]
Week in Smoke (TGT Video Edition)

Its basically a glorified slideshow. Thanks for all the continued feedback. We are still anxiously waiting for blip.tv to […]
Week in Smoke (TGT Edition)
Another exciting week of cigars to fill the Week in Smoke (TGT Edition). This past week I received a few e-mails asking what prompted us to add the Week in Smoke and another suggesting that this was my way of “showing off”. To answer the question as to “why” we do the Week in Smoke […]
La Flor Dominicana LG Diez Lancero 2010
These days it’s easy for lanceros to get lost in the beefy, large ring-gauged shuffle. Take for instance the cigar I’m reviewing this week, the LG Diez Lancero 2010. It fights for your attention in the humidor among the likes of the L500, DL660, the DL700, the Salomons and soon, the new 8 1/2 x […]
