Its hard to think of a cigar thats created as much buzz as Four Kicks by The Crowned Heads. Ever since Crowned Heads was formed by Huber, Conder, et al its been buzz after buzz. Posters, stickers, hats and samples sent to trusted bloggers. After Crowned Heads was announced further buzz was created when it […]
Rabbit Air MinusA2 SPA-780A Full Review
Well here it is, my full review of the Rabbit Air MinusA2 SPA-780A air purifier with the odor filter used for the special filter you can choose. This has taken a bit to get done because the wrong filter was included at first, which I never noticed till a month later and I was hoping […]
Quesada Oktoberfest (Guest Review)
Tom and Ed Return for another Guest Review As always, Ed and I have returned to Stogie Review for our guest spot. How long have we been doing this? I’ll have to look into it. Anyway… In this episode we are covering the Quesada Oktoberfest. This is a yearly release that is in celebration of […]
Tortuga Edicion Limitada 2011
The Tortuga Cigars brand isn’t a household name…to me. Until a couple weeks ago I never heard of it and if it wasn’t for George Brightman of W.Curtis Draper I would’ve ignored it on the shelf of their Bethesda MD location. As typical with my generation of cigar smoker, you walk into your shop and […]

Room 101 Namakubi Papi Chulo
When Matt Booth burst onto the scene a few years ago with his Room 101 cigar brand, I wasn’t sure what to make of it. And based on what I heard in the rumor mill at the time, I wasn’t alone. I saw the flash and style, but my gut told me that might be […]
CroMagnon Knuckle Dragger
For my review this week, I decided to check out the CroMagnon Knuckle Draggers that Jerry so graciously gifted me a couple weeks back when we met up in Bethesda for the Benji Menendez event at W. Curtis Draper. Before I smoked one, I wasn’t sure whether I was going to like it, as it’s […]
An Afternoon with Ernesto Perez Carrillo
When I think back to what I was smoking when I first started enjoying cigars there are a handful of cigars that come to mind. One of them was the El Rico Habano and another was the La Gloria Cubana Serie R. I’m pretty sure at the time, I had no idea who actually made […]
La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiale (Short Ashes)
This week has been a bit of a mess. The east coast experienced a bit of a freak snow storm in October and it caused a lot of grief to the tune of two fallen trees, several broken branches, and 24 hours of living by candle light. I’ve spent practically all of last week dealing […]
Nestor Miranda Grand Reserve
In the chaotic weeks that lead up to this review, I’ve been smoking Nestor Miranda’s Grand Reserve with intention of putting up a review. Unfortunately, life and schedules haven’t been cooperating lately, and this already limited release has become even more limited in availability. Fortunately the 10,000 sticks that were produced haven’t vanished from the […]
