Yesterday Dylan Austin at Camacho dropped me a line. He wants to give one of our readers a box of the new Camacho Diploma Robustos, but he wants to make sure the cigars end up in the right hands and not to a person who is an addict as they might as well fall off […]
IPCPR 2013: TGT Edition
While there are still a couple of videos that we need to publish from IPCPR; I think we did an extremely good job of covering the show. Hopefully all of you feel the same way. I know it was a lot to digest so I know Walt is working on a complete digest with links […]
IPCPR 2013 Post Mortem
It’s been nearly a week since IPCPR 2013 ended, and I could help but reflect on the events of the show, good, bad and otherwise. Bad Boys of IPCPR It makes sense to start at the beginning. After answering questions about it all show, I started to regret making it public, but there was too […]
IPCPR 2013: Jose Blanco #DEipcpr
Someone told me a long time ago that if you have a problem with Jose Blanco, then the problem is with you. Jose Blanco has been a great supporter of Stogie Review, social media and bloggers in general since before his current role at Joya De Nicaragua. And his son Jasper is just one adorable […]

IPCPR 2013: Cigar Oasis
We first came across Cigar Oasis at last year’s IPCPR when we found a prototype of their new digital hygrometer that had the shape and feel of the old style analog hygrometers. Even more recently Brian Hewitt reviewed a production unit of the Caliber 4R. At this year’s show we spent some time with them […]
IPCPR 2013: Sam Leccia
Every year we have a minor hiccup with IPCPR Coverage. Fortunately, we are past the days of those hiccups being hosting related. This time, unfortunately, they came in the form of Brian’s camera dying. The good news is that it happened right at the end of the interview so I’m told you aren’t missing much. […]
IPCPR 2013: La Flor Dominicana
During Brian’s time in the La Flor Dominicana Booth, two videos were recorded. The first was a new product tour and the second was focused on the new La Flor Dominicana Chapter 1. Rather than post two separate La Flor Dominicana Videos, I decided it would be best to combine them into a single video […]
IPCPR 2013: JC Newman
In this video, Brian is walked through the large JC Newman / Cigar Family booth and is introduced to new products. The most interesting thing that I took away from this interview was in regards to the Toast Across America Sampler. I had no idea that over 5 Million Dollars have been raised for the […]
IPCPR 2013: Miami Cigar
If you aren’t familiar with the story, Barry Stein was once a cigar blogger. Barry has always been a friend of Stogie Review and, not terribly long ago, he made the transition from Blogger to working for Miami Cigar. As someone from the outside looking in, I think Barry made a great move. He looks […]
