I’m sure many of you noticed in our IPCPR Coverage we asked some manufacturers for their thoughts on bloggers. We didn’t set out to ask this question. It kind of just happened after our first video with Ernesto Perez Carillo where he took the time (unprompted) to give us some love. We then thought it […]
Cuenca y Blanco Lonsdale Club
Now that we’re back from IPCPR 2012, and our hours of video coverage have gone live, it must be time to get back to what we do the other 51 weeks a year: review cigars. And what better way to start than with one of the most talked about new cigars at the show? (And […]
Interview with Gary Griffith of Emilio Cigars
This past weekend, I headed back up to my old stomping grounds to visit Gary Griffith of Emilio Cigars at Cigar-ette City in Newark, Delaware. I bumped into Gary at the recent IPCPR trade show in Orlando, but he didn’t have a booth set up for Emilio this year and was busy running around placing […]
Rodrigo – La Fortaleza
Did you miss me? I had a bit of time off due to the awesome IPCPR coverage from Walt, Jerry, Brian and Charlie but I am back with a look at the Rodrigo La Fortaleza cigar. Getting right down to business. Woody spice right off the start with the spice really laying on the tongue. […]
Keith Park of Prometheus & God of Fire (IPCPR 2012)

IPCPR 2012: Complete Digest

We brought a team of four to Orlando and smashed all our own records in terms of in-depth coverage of the show and interviews with the most interesting people in the cigar industry today. As Jerry mentioned earlier, we recorded […]
A Thank You (IPCPR 2012)
As our 2012 IPCPR coverage comes to a close (Walt has a short video left to post…) I wanted to post a quick thank you. The past week we have seen record visits to Stogie Review and record views of our IPCPR videos. I might be the most vocal member of Team Stogie Review but […]
Studio Tobac (IPCPR 2012)
Two Brians…one flip. There should be a rule against that or something. Brian takes some time at the end of the show to tell us what he actually does with Studio Tobac and also brings us up to date on all things Oliva, Cain and NUB cigars.
Honduras Caribbean Tobacco (IPCPR 2012)
Brian catches up with the folks from Honduras Caribbean Tobacco at IPCPR 2012. They bring us up to speed on their products like the Carmelo Primeros and it was cool that she had a sense of humor with regards to view from their booth.
Curivari Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
I’ve hard lots of people talking about Curivari Cigars over the past six months or so but we didn’t know too much about them or their cigars. Luckily Brian Hewitt was able to visit their booth and find out all about them and their cigars.
