While we have an assortment of reviews of the Ashton VSG it is surprising that we haven’t reviewed anything in the Ashton ESG Series. I would’ve thought our resident baller, Brian Hewitt, with all his Zino, Davidoff and Ashton dinners would’ve reviewed one of the four releases by now. Maybe it is the $20+ price […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 13
We’re in week two of the pollen siege here in Atlanta, and sense of taste is all out-of-wack. So instead of a review this week, I have a Brian’s The Week In Smoke that I was working on just before the yellow cloud descended. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised […]
Emilio AF Suave pre-release (first impressions)
I’ve been smoking a lot of Connecticut-wrapped cigars lately, which is rather unusual for me. I typically pass-up these milder smokes for something with a bit more punch. However, I’ve found myself with time to smoker earlier in the day than usual, so I’ve reached for a few of these creamier, milder cigars so as […]
Contest: Win a Stogie Review Travel Humidor
This weekend I began to feel a little under the weather. I made it through the weekend and crashed on Monday when I became “Full Blown Sick“. Being completely stuffed up, smoking a cigar would have been a complete waste. Here we are on Friday and I’m just about over whatever has my sinuses all […]

Charlie’s Month in Smoke, vol. 3
Sorry again for the lack of content on my part, folks. It’s been a while since my last full review, and I have to thank Jerry for taking my normal slot last week. See, my wife & I just bought our first home, so things have been busy around here, to say the least. However, […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I have a back log of cigars here. I always try to limit any edition of Week in Smoke to no more than 10-12 cigars which during an active week is really three days worth of smoking. So its easy for these to build up. Two popular questions I get asked is how many cigars […]
La Flor Dominicana Double Claro No. 42
With ample time still available for you to make your St. Patrick’s Day cigar plans, this week I bring to you what I believe is my first ever review of a candela cigar, the La Flor Dominicana Double Claro. Green cigars have been with us for a long time, but the chances of seeing one […]
Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Maduro
Limited to 1,000 boxes and only available at select retailers the Arturo Fuente Hemingway Short Story Maduro has been a cigar that has eluded our Cigar Review Index for six years. Honestly when the e-mail came in asking for us to review this cigar I honestly thought we had but after scouring the site, it […]
Happy 6th Anniversary
Six years ago today we registered the domain stogiereview.com. Its funny to go back and read some of the bullshit we peddled back then or even look at some of our original videos. Who remembers the bed in the background? LOL! I want to take a moment and congratulate Walt, Brian, Mike and Charlie for […]
