Brian got to sit down with Ernesto Perez-Carrillo and talk about his new cigar.
Pre-IPCPR 2009
The video is kind of long at about 30 minutes but we hope to keep future updates around 20 minutes. Basically though, Walt and I kicked back a few beers and then recorded this video about what we are looking forward to this year…also, Brian Hewitt makes a special call in appearance.
Time for a Different Health Care Debate
The Great Torpedo here. Many of you know that I’m the Cigar Rights of America (CRA) Ambassador for the State of Maryland. Considering how many non-Marylanders Stogie Review reaches maybe I should be the CRA Ambassador of the Internet? LOL. I wanted to share a link with you that was written by the Executive Director […]
CAO La Traviata (First Impressions)
There I was, visiting W.Curtis Drapers for a lunch time smoke and I run into Frank Kapp, National Sales Manager for CAO Cigars. Frank was bringing the Draper Boys a pair of samples of CAO’s new cigar, La Traviata. The Draper Boys and Frank were nice enough to share with me one of the La […]
CAO Gold Maduro
T-minus one day until IPCPR 2009. With that I decided to kill two birds with one stone. Its actually hard to believe that out of the 652 (I guess this is 653) cigar reviews published here on Stogie Review that we haven’t reviewed the CAO Gold or the CAO Gold Maduro. This will solve the […]
La Flor Dominicana Limitado IV
I’m not sure what my deal is? I normally refer to myself as a mild-medium bodied purveyor of cigars. Lately though, I’ve been on a full-extra full bodied kick. Maybe its stress at work?

OpusX: The Lost City
In 2004, Andy Garcia began filming The Lost City and wanted to shoot one of the most memerable scenes of his movie at Chateau de la Fuente in July. Unfortunately, there was no tobacco plants growning at Chateau de la Fuente during that time because the tobacco plants are usually harvested in March. In order […]
