IPCPR 2013: Jerry vs The Bull
Its not all hard work and walking aimlessly around the show floor. Our friends at EPC had a mechanical bull in their booth this year and were looking for a volunteer. I’m never shy when it comes to volunteering so I take on the bull. This Years IPCPR Coverage Sponsored By Drew Estate
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
An extended Week in Smoke this episode. Normally I would break this into two episodes but with IPCPR this week I had to clear out the queue. I’m sure the next episode of Week in Smoke will be an IPCPR edition (sponsored by Drew Estate). Many have asked me what cigar(s) I’m looking forward to […]
6th Annual Smoke a JJ for JJ Day
We are two weeks away from the 6th Annual Smoke a JJ for JJ Day. 6 years? The older you get, the faster time goes by. This is always a bitter sweet time of year. I find myself always looking forward to the camaraderie that we experience together but at the same time, dreading the […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Another week closer to IPCPR 2013. The question has been asked, will we be there? Where else would we be? This year we needed some help getting there so we reached out and found a sponsor to help offset the costs of traveling. Flights to Las Vegas sure are more expensive than Orlando and Denny’s […]
For Walt
It has been a crazy 2013 so far for us here at The Stogie Review Family. It is hard to put into words all the emotions. What we wouldn’t give for the problems of the past where our biggest worry was whether the server would stay up for IPCPR. Walt and I have formed a […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Thank you. It has been a month and half since my brother committed suicide and you have my heartfelt thanks for your support and well wishes. I won’t lie; it has been difficult. I catch myself picking up my iPhone and wanting to send him a text message to see how he is doing, thinking […]
Another Final Goodbye
I must have stopped and started this post a million times. The particulars don’t matter too much. I learned when we lost the Little Robusto that the “if’s” and “why’s” can drive you mad. My older brother died this past weekend. He was four years older than me which came in handy my high school […]
Brick House Maduro by JC Newman Cigar Co.
The Brick House by JC Newman Cigar Co. is not a stranger here on Stogie Review. The Brick House has made several appearances in episodes of Week in Smoke. In fact, it is one of my Top 7 Everyday Cigars that I reach for when I can’t decide what I feel like smoking. It is […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I realized that I might well work my way down the humidor at W.Curtis Draper (Bethesda). Last episode of Week in Smoke featured mostly Davidoff cigars which is the first thing you see when you walk into the humidor. Right next to it is AVO Cigars. Not much love is given in the blogosphere when […]
