In this video, Brian is walked through the large JC Newman / Cigar Family booth and is introduced to new products. The most interesting thing that I took away from this interview was in regards to the Toast Across America Sampler. I had no idea that over 5 Million Dollars have been raised for the […]
IPCPR 2013: Miami Cigar
If you aren’t familiar with the story, Barry Stein was once a cigar blogger. Barry has always been a friend of Stogie Review and, not terribly long ago, he made the transition from Blogger to working for Miami Cigar. As someone from the outside looking in, I think Barry made a great move. He looks […]

IPCPR 2013: Felix Assouline Cigars
Felix Assouline Cigars wasn’t on our radar coming into IPCPR. It wasn’t until we saw our friend Benny Gomez of Havana Sunrise fame and learned that Felix Assouline is representing his Havana Sunrise blend. Felix was kind enough to spend a few moments with us to tell us all about his other brands. Hewitt got […]
IPCPR 2013: Guayacan Cigars

IPCPR 2013: Ezra Zion
In this video, Brian spends a few minutes in the Ezra Zion booth to get the scoop on what is new and exciting. I can’t say that I’ve ever smoked an Ezra Zion but after checking out the interview, I’ll be keeping an eye out. Sponsored by http://drewestate.com/ipcpr
IPCPR 2013: Illusione
Each year cigar manufacturers at the annual IPCPR Trade Show seem to get bigger and flashier with their booth designs. One of the few exceptions to that trend has been Illusione. Their booth is always modest in size and chill. It seems like a strange thing to point out, but I like that Illusione has […]
IPCPR 2013: Drew Estate #DEipcpr
It is really humbling to visit a booth and have them call Stogie Review the “gold standard” of blogs. When Jonathan Drew of Drew Estate says it, it makes you feel very proud. After some early show issues with IPCPR that had me feeling down, hearing Jonathan speak so highly of us and what we […]
