I’ve been meaning to write up a review on the Curivari Onassis for months now, but then I get distracted by something like a freshly open beer and I forget. Usually that means smoking it without bothering to take notes or pictures. But not this time. As much as I’d like to just light it […]

Debonaire House cigars have been around since 2012 and was founded by Philip S. Zanghi III. Debonaire House has two cigar companies under it with Debonaire and Indian Motorcycles Cigars. Both lines feature “ultra premium” cigars that utilize the highest quality tobacco available. Because of this, Debonaire cigar aren’t cheap. Enter the Daybreak. Introduced at the […]
Macanudo Inspirado Red Robusto
I think the last Macanudo we reviewed here on Stogie Review was the Macanudo Mao back at the end of 2016. It’s been even longer since I reviewed one. So when these samples of the new Macanudo Inspirado Red showed up at my door a few days ago, I decided on the spot I’d review […]
My Father Cigars The Judge Grand Robusto
My Father Cigars introduced the The Judge in 2016 with two sizes, grand robusto and toro, and added the toro fino in 2017. The Judge line is a line of all large vitolas with ring gauges of 52 and higher. The Judge was inspired by a friend of the Garcia family that is a judge […]
Happy St. Patrick’s Day – Camacho Candela Robusto
Its that time of the year again. The time when we see all the candela wrapper cigars emerge. Candela is a historic cigar wrapper which was hugely popular during the turn of the century up until about the 50’s for cigars. Now, its almost impossible to find a candela cigar….unless it’s St. Patrick’s Day. The […]
Fratello Navetta Discovery Robusto
There are a lot of jokes you have to acknowledge up front when reviewing a cigar whose name translates to “shuttle”, and that’s made by a former employee of NASA. Things like, “does it take a rocket scientist to blend a good cigar?” Or perhaps, “I’m worried this cigar will be so strong it’ll send […]
La Flor Dominicana La Volcada
La Flor Dominicana introduced the La Volcada at this year’s IPCPR trade show in Las Vegas. The cigar is named after a move in the tango dance where the gentleman dips his female partner and she bends her leg back towards him. The move is shown as a silhouette on the band. The La Volcada […]
JRE Aladino Cazador
The JRE Aladino was a cigar line I didn’t give much attention to when it first came out. I’m not exactly sure why because I’ve been a big fan of Camacho Cigars since they first started. The Eiroa family are the premier growers of corojo which they call “authentic corojo”. Their “authentic corojo” is how […]
Casa Fuente Double Robusto
If you’ve ever been to Las Vegas and you are a cigar smoker, your trip was a disaster if you didn’t visit Casa Fuente at least once. It’s a pilgrimage for any cigar smoker. They have many rare Fuente cigars including some Opus X vitolas that you can only get at Casa Fuente in the […]
United Cigar Bandolero Vanidosos
The Bandolero is a cigar from United Cigar that also distributes Atabey and Byron cigars. We’ve reviewed these cigar before, but I haven’t had any of them since that review. They are a little hard to find and no shops near me, at the time, carried United Cigar. The cigars from United Cigar are blended […]
