IPCPR 2015: 262 Cigars
To get Stogie Review’s video coverage of the IPCPR 2015 trade show, we begin with Clint Aaron of 262 cigars. And not just because 262 appears at the top of the list when you sort alphabetically.

In this joint video cigar review adventure, Ben Lee and Brian Hewitt take a look at the new Davioff Escurio Petit Robusto.
