One person we couldn’t find at last year’s IPCPR in Las Vegas was David Blanco of Los Blanco Cigars. Little did we know that David was busy taking care of his obligations as a reservists in the military. One of the most noticeable changes since we last talked to David was a slight name change […]
EPC Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
We were very fortunate to catch Ernesto Perez Carrillo early on in the show. As usual they have his booth tucked away where it takes people a little bit to find him. Luckily we found him before the crowd did and got a quick five minutes of his time to catch up on his new […]
PDR Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
We catch up with Abe Flores of PDR Cigars with his new releases like his Small Batch Reserve, Flores Y Rodriguez, a solomon sized Liga Especial and the box pressed Abe Flores Serie Privada. Also see the douche blogger who just left his stuff in the middle of the booth…
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Potty training, power outage during heat wave and food poisoning. Three things that can take you to the breaking point. It has been one thing after another this month. All three of those things has had an impact on my smoking schedule. Luckily, that is all in the past and we can start looking forward […]
5th Annual Smoke a JJ for JJ Day
We are less than a month away. This is always a bitter sweet time of year. I find myself always looking forward to this year but at the same time, dreading the emotional roller coaster it triggers. If you remember my post last year about Three Things I Know to Be True (Cigars Edition) you […]
Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate
In my Week in Smoke series I’ve been talking a lot about how great the Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate has been smoking. It came as a bit of a surprise that none of us here at Stogie Review have actually reviewed it (we did publish a guest review). So this isn’t some […]
little boris by Tatuaje Cigars (pre-release)
I know its been a Tatuaje love fest here the past couple days. Let the love continue but first I have to get the “legal” notice out of the way. This sample was given to me by Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars while he was in the area for a Father’s Day event at The […]
a little monster giveaway
You had to know this was coming. I was lucky enough to get my hands on two boxes of Little Monsters. One for me and one for…thats right, you! I was going to wait till I actually started reviewing the Little Monsters but seeing as Brian Hewitt performed a dick move by beating me to […]
little monsters pictorial
Well the awaited little monsters by Tatuaje Cigars have hit W.Curtis Draper (my home shop). Below are a few pics I snapped of the box I got. Too bad I don’t have anymore of the Frank to snap a pic of it with Frank Jr. In An Afternoon with Pete Johnson series, Pete told us […]
Jerry to the Rescue
Who am I to argue with a great title like ‘Jerry to the Rescue‘? Recently I started catching up on episodes from our longtime friends Bob and Dale from DogWatch Cigar Radio. It has been awhile since a member of Stogie Review had made an appearance on their long running show. Friday night I decided […]
