The other night on Twitter one of our long time fans of Stogie Review, vic121, posed the following question to Walt, Brian and myself: what do you guys think is the secret to your success? It was a bit late in the night to take vic121‘s question seriously but it did spark a conversation reminiscing […]
Ask The Readers: Constructing Your Top 10 List
Sometimes the day gets away from you but in my case, its more like the week got away from me. Actually, the last two weeks have just been busy with very few moments to come up for air. So since a video review wasn’t possible I decided to borrow a page from Walt’s arsenal of […]
Cubao Maduro
Thinking back to pre-IPCPR I remember first hearing about the Cubao Maduro and was excited. Its no secret that I’m a big fan of the natural Cubao, especially in the Lancero size, so I waited with baited breathe for the Cubao Maduro to be released. Not every cigar can be a winner right? I know […]

Plasencia Reserva Organica
My last attempt with an organic cigar left me wanting more. Again our own KnightRid comes to the rescue with another organic cigar for me to try. My experience with the Plasencia Reserva Organica was surprisingly refreshing. Sure it had a simple, one note flavor component but thats what was so refreshing. A change of […]
Don Tomas Cameroon Collection
A month or so ago I reviewed the Don Tomas Maduro and was quiet surprised by how the maduro performed, the flavors and the price point. I decided to explore more of the offerings from the Don Tomas stable of cigars and our new moderator on The SR Fan Forums, KnightRid, was nice enough to […]
Herf’n Heads – CAO La Traviata
Jerry and Brian get together for another episode of Herf’n Heads. In this episode we review the new CAO La Traviata (dare we say Cigar of The Year), cigar smoking etiquette, IPCPR, CRA and other random cigar shit. Video lasts over an hour so I use the Viddler player so you can fast forward/seek to […]
IPCPR Highlights
Doing anything with one hand sucks…even recording a video. While I’m not in condition to do a full cigar review I thought I’d share a few cigars that caught my attention at IPCPR. Enjoy…
