Back in August, Brian, Jerry, and I were fortunate enough to attend IPCPR. While doing press coverage, we stopped over at the Prometheus Booth and were given a product tour by Keith Park. Like years past, the booth was a beautiful display of accessories and cigars, many of which I would have loved to take […]
Email Overhaul
Over the last five years, Stogie Review has been using the mail server provided by our web host. In the early days this was a great way for us to send and receive correspondence with the Stogie Review Fans. As time passed and our email load increased, messages began going missing.

Cain FF (First Impressions)
Last week I began smoking through samples I received as a member of the Studio Tobac Advisory Board. I made the Nub San Andreas Maduro my first cigar of the day and followed it up with a Cain FF (Cain Double-F) roughly twelve hours later. My experience with the Nub was less than desirable, which […]
Ask The Readers: Do you use cigars as a motivational tool?

Last week I put together a contest announcement to give away a 5 Pack of Cain F Nub. In order to win, I asked everyone to put together a Stogie Review ‘Best Of’ list. We had some great entries come in, many of which brought back a variety of memories from the last couple of […]
Cain F Lancero
In November I sat down with Dave Wagner, VP of Sales at Oliva, to discuss Sam Leccia’s departure from Oliva. As the conversation came to a close, Dave mentioned that Studio Tobac was going to create an Advisory Board to bounce new product ideas and samples off of. I was asked if I would be […]
Curivari Reserva Limitada – Petit Cafe
Earlier this week I put together a post outlining my first impression of the Curivari Reserva Limitada – Classica Epicure. In that review I made note that I was impressed with the cigar and looked forward to smoking through the remainder of my samples (courtesy of Jim Cronin at Top Shelf Cigar Co.). A few […]
