Charlie makes his YQMA debut complete with umbrella and all. He joins Brian and myself in the fifth episode of Season 2. We count down the Top 25 List from Cigar Aficionado and weigh in on whether we agree or disagree.
Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight
Thanks for all the feedback in the last episode of The Week in Smoke. I’m glad to see interest in revisiting cigars that we’ve reviewed in the past. Walt originally reviewed the Excalibur 1066 Dark Knight back in 2007. Thinking about when I first started smoking cigars I remember the Dark Knight series being a […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I hope everyone rang in the New Year safely and not too hung over! We got an interesting question a couple days ago from Jeff who wanted to know if we ever thought about revisiting a cigar that we reviewed two or three years ago? For those of you who have been with us for […]
Top 10 Cigars – TGT Edition (2011)
Man where did 2011 go? Seems like the older you get the faster time goes by. Before 2012 gets here its time to look back at 2011. 2011 was another awesome year for cigars! I’m anxious to see what Walt, Brian, Mike and Charlie have listed this year. This year is no different than previous […]
Undercrown by Drew Estate
Introduced at this year’s IPCPR Trade Show is the Undercrown by Drew Estate. Jonathan Drew gave us one of the most enthusiastic interviews we’ve ever had on the site and the Undercrown was one of my top cigars that really impressed me at the show. Its hard to believe no one has beat me to […]
The Story of The Little Robusto Project
For those of you who come here often, you already know or at least have an idea of what The Little Robusto Project is. “Little Robusto” was the affectionate nickname I gave my son JJ. Sadly, JJ passed away on November 2, 2007 from SIDS (Sudden Infant Death Syndrome) while at daycare when he was […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Welcome back! I hope everyone had a safe, enjoyable and refreshing Thanksgiving holiday. Anyone do any Black Friday shopping? I’m actually on the hunt for some Sesame Street figurines that are proving to be impossible to find for some reason. Of course these figurines aren’t sold online and no sign of them in the half […]
Three Things I Know to Be True (Cigars Edition)
This is a bit different post than I normally do. For awhile now I’ve been a fan of TED | Talks. TED stands for Technology Entertainment and Design. Since being the father of a baby girl (she’s actually a toddler these days but she’ll always be my baby) a TED | Talk earlier this year […]
News: Viaje Stuffed Turkey
Normally we don’t publish news here on Stogie Review. Our friend Charlie over at The Cigar Feed does a better job than we could ever do but with my huge ego, this was too cool not to post. Over a week ago Charlie posted some Viaje news on his site and he mentioned Stogie Review […]
Four Kicks by The Crowned Heads
Its hard to think of a cigar thats created as much buzz as Four Kicks by The Crowned Heads. Ever since Crowned Heads was formed by Huber, Conder, et al its been buzz after buzz. Posters, stickers, hats and samples sent to trusted bloggers. After Crowned Heads was announced further buzz was created when it […]
