Another week closer to IPCPR 2013. The question has been asked, will we be there? Where else would we be? This year we needed some help getting there so we reached out and found a sponsor to help offset the costs of traveling. Flights to Las Vegas sure are more expensive than Orlando and Denny’s […]
J. Fuego Edicion de Familia 2012 Robusto Tubo
As frequent visitors to Stogie Review know, when J. Fuego releases a new cigar, it’s only a matter of time before I smoke it. But sometimes it takes a while. Case in point, this week’s cigar review, the Edicion de Familia 2012. Sure, I did try an IPCPR pre-release last year (as noted in an […]
Cigar Dinner with LFD
Cigar Dinner with LFD I have a treat for you this week as I give you a little look at a cigar dinner my local shop, Genuine Tobacco, put together with La Flor Dominicana, Union Station Grill and Mirus Financial Partners. If you do not know what a cigar dinner is, well, it is a […]
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Lancero
The A. Fuente Don Carlos lancero is quite a rare cigar. Only available originally from Casa Fuente or Carlito himself, these cigars have recently been available in gift sets from Prometheus, limited edition humidors from Fuente Cigars or in boxes of 13 that were available to a very select few retailers. I was lucky […]

For Walt
It has been a crazy 2013 so far for us here at The Stogie Review Family. It is hard to put into words all the emotions. What we wouldn’t give for the problems of the past where our biggest worry was whether the server would stay up for IPCPR. Walt and I have formed a […]

Mike’s New and Wanted Stuff
Not much to this writeup but I wanted to get something up for you this week as I am suffering from allergies something fierce. I wish I could have done a cigar review but I don’t want to do one just on my notes without tasting the cigar I am reviewing. I think it does […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Thank you. It has been a month and half since my brother committed suicide and you have my heartfelt thanks for your support and well wishes. I won’t lie; it has been difficult. I catch myself picking up my iPhone and wanting to send him a text message to see how he is doing, thinking […]
