A couple of weeks ago I received a very nice email from La Palina cigars. After introducing themselves, they invited the Stogie Review crew out to their launch event in Washington DC. Unfortunately, with Jerry, Brian, Mike, and myself all spread out along the East Coast, only one of us were able to take them […]
Press Release: Davidoff to Introduce New “Puro d’Oro” Cigar
Yesterday I received an email asking me about the new Davidoff Puro d’Oro. Unfortunately, I was only vaguely aware of it from seeing Tweets by Danielle Hawthorne and could not answer the email with anything useful. To try and remedy that problem, I contacted Danielle and asked if she would be so kind as to […]
Press Release: La Aurora Serie 107 Anniversario

After a little while he began separating his latest Camacho Cigars shipment to be loaded into the humidor as we continued to talk. Somewhere along the way he handed me a sales brochure that was included in the box […]

I figured this deserved a front page post, even though you probably already heard about it. This is from the Perdomo Cigars Bulletin Board…. Friends, I promised you a major announcement and here is the first of several that are forthcoming: Below is a letter which officially announces what I have decided to do that […]

With today being a bit slow here at Stogie Review as a result of the long holiday weekend, I thought I’d share with you something hot off the presses. Less than a half hour ago I received an email from Alec Bradley Cigars with their latest press release. It seems there is some news on […]
The 2009 Tarries Cigar Award Show
It’s the cigar award show you didn’t realize you were eagerly awaiting. The Tarries celebrates the unusual aspects of the cigar industry, shining an industrial-sized spotlight on dubious distinctions that may be either points of pride or the stuff of shame.

First Look: La Flor Dominicana Air Bender
Had the pleasure of getting together with doc8466 at W.Curtis Drapers today. Upon entering, we were greeted by the usual faces plus Litto Gomez, the man behind La Flor Dominicana. I knew Litto was in the area doing events at a few local cigar shops but didn’t see Drapers as one of his stops. So […]
