Padilla Dominus Robusto First Impression
This week I’m doing things a little differently. And by that I mean I’m going with video instead of my customary written review and Tower of Burn. If you’re tired of seeing me on video, or just love the Tower of Burn, have no fear, I plan to return to that next week. This week’s […]
Graycliff Original Pirate (Red Label)
If you’ve been frequenting the Stogie Review for a while, you probably remember My Graycliff Tobacco Beetle Adventure. If you haven’t read it yet, suffice it to say, it was sad tale of loss and questionable customer service. What I didn’t know then, was that writing up the experience was not the final chapter in […]
Rocky Patel 1961 (Pre-Release)
It’s hard to tell which Rocky Patel does more of, producing new cigars, or traveling to promote them. It seems like it’s only been a few weeks since he was in town to showcase his Spring Collection, and here he comes again with the Summer Collection. A running joke that Rocky acknowledges hearing a lot […]
Famous 70th Anniversary Padron Natural Robusto
Ah, the Famous Cigar Expo, the gift that keeps on giving. As I was looking through my humidor, trying to decide on what to light up for this week’s review, I stumbled onto a small collection of Famous 70th Anniversary Padrons I picked up while I was at the expo. I was a little surprised […]
Siglo Limited Reserve IV
I’ve had the the same conversation several times in the cigar shop recently. It starts of with someone asking me if I’ve tried that new Siglo cigar Altadis came out with. Invariably I ask them if they mean the latest Cuban Cohiba look-alike in the humidor. The response always seems to be some variant of […]
Nestor Miranda 20th Anniversary Danno Habano Oscuro
I’ll admit it, I’m a little behind the times with this one. But there’s a good reason that, it has to do with my review preparations. In an attempt to be give every cigar a chance to perform at its best, or at least minimize the impact of elements beyond my control, I give all […]
5 Vegas Relic
If you’ve been paying attention to cigar trends, you’ve probably noticed there have been quite a few. For years, large ring gauges were the name of the game. And then it seemed like everyone was introducing their popular lines in the lancero format. Even more recently, we’ve seen a sudden increase in large figurados and […]
Cupido Criollo Commemorative
The cigar up for review this week is intriguing. Not only does it have an unusual shape, it has a unusual background as well. It’s history involves the high times of the 90’s cigar boom, counterfeiting, the drama of a confrontation at an RTDA trade show, name changes, disappearance and finally, reintroduction to the market […]
Perdomo Grand Cru Maduro Robusto
It was a tough call deciding which cigar to review this week. I was all set to review a lesser-known boutique cigar that had been around for a while, and as I looked through my bags of recent stogie acquisitions I noticed the Perdomo Grand Cru Maduro. I looked at it for a minute and […]
