Jesus Fuego takes 5 minutes out of his busy day at Cigar Fest 2009 to talk about his new Origen line and 777 blend he has coming out. Both cigars are featuring the first Brazilian Corojo wrapper on the market:
Quick Question with Alan Rubin (Alec Bradley Cigars)
After my review of the Trilogy Authentic Corojo by Alec Bradley, I was left with one question: Why the change in shape from its original triangle press to the standard round shape? During Cigar Fest 2009, I got my question answered by Alan Rubin:
Gurkha Warlord (Special Edition)
I guess “Special” isn’t always used in a positive light. I’m no expert on Gurkha cigars. In fact, I’m really not sure if I’ve smoked anything, ever, from Gurkha before this Warlord. But I do know a little bit about cigars and in all honesty, I found nothing special about this edition of the Gurkha […]
Rocky Patel Renaissance
Continuing on my Rocky Patel kick, I’m back this week with a review of the Rocky Patel Renaissance. Now if you were following my escapades in Orlando earlier in the month you will know that I had my first Renaissance while I was vacationing but lets see how the Renaissance holds up back here in […]
Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro
In my new spot here on Thursdays and thought I’d review the Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro. I loved the El Triunfador which is basically the same blend as the Cabaiguan Maduro just in a lancero size. For about 2/3 of the cigar, I was very satisfied and was looking forward to a stellar finish. Unfortunately something […]
Rocky Patel Rosado
Similar to my review on the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend the Rocky Patel Rosado is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke Shop. Again, in the interest of complete transparency I wanted to say that Famous Smoke Shop is an advertiser with The Stogie Review and we’re also good friends on […]
Illusione eccj
Brian and I get together for around 30 minutes one sunny day and talk cigars while reviewing the Illusione eccj.
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
First, let me say, probably not the best video I’ve ever done. Wasn’t really happy with the way it turned out so no bells and whistles. Its been sometime since I originally review the Rocky Patel Sun Grown and labeled it as one of my “WOW” cigars. Two years later does it still live up […]
CAO MX3 (Escaparate)
Thanks to Walt and Brian for filling in for me in my normal spots. Its great to be feeling better and back in the saddle again and what a cigar I have for you! I mentioned some of this over on My Daily Cigar but the CAO MX3 is part of CAO’s Escaparate collection. The […]
Petite Tatuaje
Not sure how many “small cigar” reviews we’ve done on The Stogie Review. While I’ve tried a few of the small cigars out there, I’m normally not a fan. My experience has always been less than noteworthy. They always seem to burn too hot and too harsh for my liking. When I bought a cab […]
