Last week I received an email from our friend Steven at Lighters Direct. If you aren’t familiar with Lighters Direct, you really should be as they are one of the longest running sponsors we’ve had here on Stogie Review. The email from Steven was a heads up that a few lighters were headed my way […]
Diesel Wicked
A couple of months back I reviewed the Diesel Unholy Cocktail. Shortly after that review I was talking with Jerry, trying to flush out some ideas for future reviews. He suggested that I put together a series and go through all of the available Diesel Cigars. I thought Jerry’s idea was great and began the […]
La Aurora Corojo
Years ago, when I first began visiting local cigar shops, I developed a bad habit of avoiding anything from La Aurora with the old-school-looking lion band. No matter what size or shape I tried, I just couldn’t enjoy it, no matter how hard I tried. That early distaste for the cigar still causes a bit […]
Davidoff Millennium Blend Lancero
This morning I woke up to a variety of alerts on my phone. The first one I read was in reference to a review of a Swisher Electronic Cigar on Stogie Review. While I’m a firm believer in a united cigar smoking community, I struggled with the concept of such a product being reviewed here. […]
La Duena Petit Lancero
What do you get when you sit down and record a cigar review much earlier than usual? If this review is any indication, you forget to finalize it and wind up with a review that is almost a day late! Thats alright though, better late that never, eh? Last week I revisited the Cabaiguan Guapos […]
Cabaiguan (Short Ashes)
Early this week Jerry was kind enough to send me a package of cigars to enjoy. I wasted no time in turning them to smoke and ash. Suddenly it dawned on me, perhaps I should turn some of these sticks into ‘Short Ashes’ Cigar Reviews and revisit some of the smokes we have reviewed in […]
Abel’s Premium Selection
Back around Christmas I recieved an email from Abel Florez of Florez Tobacconist in Summit New Jersey. In that email Abel began telling me about a cigar he had created by Ernesto Perez Carrillo and asked if I would be interested in reviewing it. Being a borderline Ernesto Perez Carrillo Fanboi, I was eager to […]
Walt’s Top 10 Cigars of 2012
10. Diesel Grind Smoking the Diesel Product line was a recommendation of our own Jerry Cruz. Based on my experience with the Diesel Unholy Cocktail, I didn’t have high hopes for the other offerings. To my surprise, I found the Diesel Grind and what has become a go-to cigar of mine. The Diesel Grind isn’t […]
Diesel Crucible
Over the last few weeks we have been taking a closer look at the Diesel Line of cigars from AJ Fernandez and Cigars International. First we smoked the Diesel Unholy Cocktail, then we followed that up with the Diesel Grind. This week we take a look at the Diesel Crucible. As I mentioned in previous […]
Diesel Grind (Short Ashes)
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was struck with the desire to take a ride out to the new Cigars International Superstore in Hamburg, PA. Being in such close proximity to Cabela’s, I was a little afraid of what I might encounter with Black Friday Madness in full swing. Cabin Fever won out over wanting to […]
