A few weeks ago our good friend Steven, from Lighters Direct, asked me to review a lighter, the Black Label El Presidente. Along with that lighter, Steven sent along two others for us to give away. The first of those lighters is a Black Label “Bombay” Table Torch (Model LBLT100). Entering is very simple, all […]
Black Label Lighters: El Presidente
A couple of weeks ago I received an email from our good friend Steven over at Lighter Direct. Steven asked if I had any interest in reviewing a new line of lighters that he is having great success with. I was happy to accept and had a brand new Black Label El Presidente lighter in […]
Camacho Negro (Humidor Diving)
Over the past couple of weeks I have been telling myself that I need to finally get around to reviewing the Santos De Miami that Brad May was kind enough to send me a while back. Earlier this week I set that cigar aside and made plans to smoke it for todays review. As it […]
Quesada Oktoberfest (Guest Review)
Tom and Ed Return for another Guest Review As always, Ed and I have returned to Stogie Review for our guest spot. How long have we been doing this? I’ll have to look into it. Anyway… In this episode we are covering the Quesada Oktoberfest. This is a yearly release that is in celebration of […]
La Gloria Cubana Artesanos Retro Especiale (Short Ashes)
This week has been a bit of a mess. The east coast experienced a bit of a freak snow storm in October and it caused a lot of grief to the tune of two fallen trees, several broken branches, and 24 hours of living by candle light. I’ve spent practically all of last week dealing […]
Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial 2011 (First Impressions)
Last week I received a tweet from @czerbe asking if I was planning on attending a Studio Tobac event in the area. Initially I was on the fence about attending but decided to head out and make an evening out of it. I wound up having a great time and was handed a pre-release sample […]
EP Carrillo Maduro (Short Ashes)
This week, to put it simply, has been an absolute mess. After dealing with our massive data loss and the stress of getting everything up and operational again, I wasn’t much in the mood for recording a review for today. Because slacking off wasn’t an option (how could I possibly slack off when all of […]
Your Question, My Answers (YQMA) Episode 2.04
A few weeks ago, Jerry, Brian, Mike, and I sat down and recorded another episode of YQMA. Due to some time constraints it took us a little longer to get this episode put together than usual. Like most of our recent episodes of YQMA, this one has a variety of humorous moments in addition to […]
Black Pedro by Felipe Gregorio (First Impressions)
Earlier this week I received a surprise package from Felipe Gregorio containing three cigars. The cigars in the package were Black Pedro vitolas (Robusto, Torpedo, and Churchill). A quick Google search didn’t net much in terms of information but I did find a short Youtube video from Felipe Gregorio. In that video I learned that […]
Gurkha Cellar Reserve
A Note From Tom Ed and I got together last weekend to review the Gurkha Cellar Reserve. It boasts 15 year aged tobacco, Criollo 1998 wrapper, Dominican Olor binder and a 15 year old Criollo, Nicaraguan filler. I know a lot of people slam Gurkha as simply an overpriced brand. I’ve been guilty of it […]
