2016 La Flor Dominicana TAA 48 For my next installment of the 2016 TAA line of cigars, I’m going to be reviewing the La Flor Dominicana TAA 48. I’m back at the Serious Cigars Clear Lake location smoking in their lounge again. The La Flor Dominicana is usually one of the more full bodied cigars […]
Tatuaje TAA 2016
Tatuaje TAA 2016 Lately, I’ve been smoking a lot of the limited releases from cigar companies for the Tobacconists’ Association of America or TAA. Only select shops can carry these cigars as they have to be a member of TAA. These limited releases are usually very good cigars, though hard to find. You can find […]
Celebrating With Cigars: Bringing Home a Baby Girl
Last week I decided to take advantage of a beautiful morning here in Southeast Pennsylvania. I sat down on my deck, lit up a Long Live the King by Caldwell Cigar Company, and listened to the birds chirp as I sipped my coffee. I wrote a quick review on the cigar and mentioned that my […]

Long Live the King by Caldwell Cigar Company
Back in August, the crew from Sir Stogies piled into a van and began an epic journey across Southeast Pennsylvania visiting cigar shops. There were lots of laughs, plenty of drinks, and an abundance of cigars. I may be embellishing it a tad but it was a wonderful time. One of the shops we visited […]
Ben’s Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 14
Ben’s Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 14 I know it’s been awhile since I last posted at Stogie Review, but I have a good excuse. I recently moved from the Mississippi Gulf Coast to Houston, TX. While the move didn’t keep me from smoking cigars, it definitely curtailed how many I smoked since […]
Gurkha Vintage Selection Shaggy Toro
When I was writing up last week’s Week In Smoke, I was a little surprised to discover we have never reviewed the Gurkha Vintage Selection Shaggy. I know it’s a cigar that I’ve talked about with people a number of times over the years, and people have had generally positive things to say about it. […]
