I remember a few years ago Clint Aaron of 262 Cigars didn’t have a booth and we interviewed him in between two other booths. Now look at Clint…all grown up with a big boy booth these days. We caught Clint during a brief lul at his booth where he gives us the run down on […]
17 Minutes with Alec Bradley (IPCPR 2012)
This video is roughly twice as long as most of our other IPCPR videos. We have to make up for lost time as things didn’t work out last year and this year we get two Rubins. For those who may not have known, the name Alec Bradley comes from Alan Rubin’s two sons, Alec and […]
Foundry by General Cigar (IPCPR 2012)
I’m not sure what to exactly make of Foundry. The premise of it is pretty creative and the cigar looks very good. I’m just not sure how I feel about the gear ring thing and the half cellophane sleeve. The aesthetics are unique, interesting, crazy and odd all at the same time. Wasn’t there a […]
La Flor Dominicana (IPCPR 2012)
Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana joins us again for another year. Litto spends a few minutes with Brian talking about a few new things that LFD is bringing to the market starting with he Oro which comes in three sizes including Litto’s famous chisel format. All three sizes come in golden tubos and features […]
AJ Fernandez Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
The success of Stogie Review is never our’s alone. We have lots of help. For the second year in a row, we had a lot of help getting time with AJ Fernandez. Lots of people played a role in making it happen and bringing all of us together to talk about AJ’s newest releases like […]
RoMa Craft Tobac (IPCPR 2012)
Making their IPCPR debut is RoMa Craft Tobac. We kept trying to get the RoMa boys early and often with very little success. I can’t even count how many times we said “lets roll pass Skip’s, he can’t be busy” just to find out he was indeed busy. I think the closes we got was […]
La Palina (IPCPR 2012)
For me Bill Paley is a local guy. I remember seeing him sitting in cigar shops in the area before he had his own cigar line in La Palina. I always thought Bill looked a bit intimidating but he is in fact one of the nicest most approachable guys in the industry who has always […]
CAO Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
New and exciting things from our friends at CAO Cigars bro. The OSA line has been expanded to include two new sizes, Lot 46 and Lot T bro. Both of the new sizes are box pressed bro. Also being released this year is the new CAO Concert bro. I love that CAO learned a bit […]
11 Minutes with Pete Johnson (IPCPR 2012)
I’m going to rename Stogie Review to Tatuaje Central. LOL. The amount of interview footage we’ve produced over the years is by far the most we’ve covered anyone and thats just interview footage. Pete likes to talk and we like to record…perfect pairing. I mention this in the video but Pete looks really refreshed. The […]
Viaje Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
At the 2009 IPCPR show we had finished wrapping up interviewing Matt Booth when Matt told us about a friend of his, Andre Farkas. Matt made the introductions, we did our thing with Andre and the rest is history. It is pretty fascinating to see Viaje Cigars go from this little known company, tucked away […]
