Can you believe that it is the Christmas season already? The year has gone by in a blur and here we are again, frantically trying to get our shopping done. While we can’t help with fighting the Christmas crowds, we can make this holiday season a little more special for our fellow cigar smokers.
For the third year running, Stogie Review has put together a fantastic giveaway. As in previous years, we have a dozen prizes to give out leading up to Christmas morning. Before we get into the specifics on how to win these great prizes, we would like to take a minute to thank our readers and viewers. You have made this another successful year for us with growth each month.
We would also like to thank our 12 Days of Christmas Sponsors. We had some very generous people step up and provide a variety of awesome prizes.
