Up this week I have something that is a little different. Instead of smoking four to five of the same stick to generate an opinion, I went ahead and recorded my first impression of a cigar which I received at IPCPR 2009. Since this is not something that we generally do here at Stogie Review, […]
Zino Platinum Announces Crown Series Emperor Edition 2009
While browsing through my Twitter Feed yesterday, I came across a link from Zino Platinum in regards to a new release. The link pointed to their Facebook page and included a small writeup on the new Emperor 2009 release, which included a picture. While I’ve never had the pleasure of smoking a Zino Platinum, the […]

Its been forever since we have done a contest on Stogie Review. In fact, I think the last serious contest we have done, excluding the five packs Jerry gives away from time to time, was our First Annual 12 Days of Christmas all the way back in December. That is all going to change today, […]

Cigar Wallpapers – Round 2
The last week has been very busy for me and I’ve been spending a lot of time running from one place to the next. As a result, I wasn’t able to find the time to record my regular review and had to push it off a day. Pushing it off a day left us with […]
Casa Magna Colorado Robusto (Short Ashes)
With the arrival of Jerry’s Petit Corona getting closer and closer, he has been dealing with a landslide of work at his day-job. He asked me if I could step in for him while he gets his head above water and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to finally smoke that acclaimed Cigar of […]
