W.Curtis Draper – The Next Chapter
Earlier this year the DC Location of W.Curtis Draper pretty much became a non-smoking cigar shop due to complaints from tenants (a law firm) that was situated above the shop. W.Curtis Draper had been at its 14th Street location for almost 25 years. There have been a lot of changes for my home shop this […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Another week in the books here at Stogie Review. In case you missed anything, here is a brief run down. I kicked the week off with a review of the La Casita Criolla by Tatuaje. Mike followed on Tuesday with a cigar I’ve never heard of in the 809 Connecticut. The Mouth of the South […]
Laying Down the Law
In the first two episodes of Your Questions, My Answers (Season 2) we’ve talk a lot about Cuban cigars. Particularly about what will happen when the Cuban Embargo is lifted and about Cuban trademarks. Our answers were typically uninformed and mainly for entertainment purposes. In cases where we aren’t educated or have enough background about […]

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Where am I? It feels like forever since I actually did a review. Lancaster PA, Chattanooga TN, Atlanta GA, Seattle WA? Craziness I tell you. Before I get back on the review bandwagon I need to play catchup. This edition of Week in Smoke is hardly what I would call complete. Lots of missed opportunities […]
YQMA – Season 2 Premiere
We decided to kickoff Season 2 of Your Questions, My Answers on the fly after being guests on Stogie411. Its me, Brian and Walt shooting the shit and talking about random topics. We talk about IPCPR, Crowned Heads, other blogs, cigar events and Walt gets all fiery when we talk about Oliva/Nub/Studio Tabac all he […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Its great to be back to regular posts. IPCPR was fun and all but it was a bit draining encoding/uploading those videos so its great to be back with another episode of Week in Smoke. Lots of new cigars making their debut on Week in Smoke with a spattering of cigars making a repeat appearance. […]
IPCPR 2011 – TGT Impressions
Man, shooting and editing in HD takes a lot longer than it use. This was supposed to be published this morning but I had to figure out a way to get the video to a manageable size and not its 160GB behemoth that it started out as. Anyway, about 11 minutes of be babbling about […]
