This cigar up for review this week is one I’ve been looking forward to trying for well over a year. Ever since the Houston RTDA in 2007, where I literally bumped into the cigar. I was walking along the skybridge to the convention center from the hotel across the street the first full day of […]
Ramon Allones Specially Selected
I think this is our first Cuban cigar here at The Stogie Review and our first review at a National Monument. Maybe I should travel all around DC and record a review at every historical monument so you get a cigar review and a tour of the Nation’s Capital. Anyway, this week I’m reviewing the […]
Flor de Oliva Gold (Blind Tasting)
Last week I packed up my gear and headed across town to Kensington Tobacconist for yet another blind cigar tasting. Just like during the Jameson Black Label and Red Label tasting, the guys loosened up and had a good time. After about an hour of smoking, all cigars were extinguished and I was left with […]

Vintage 1982 Cerdan Welles
It’s not everyday you get to smoke a cigar that’s nearly as old as you are. (OK, so I’m not quite that young, but hey, it’s not that far off!) So when we were offered the chance to review a cigar that was born in 1982, I jumped at the offer. The catch was that […]

El Rico Habano Maduro Torpedo
I’ve taken a break this week from reviewing new cigars to touch on one that comes heavily recommended by the Stogie Review fan forum‘s resident cigar poet and “Wife Chagrin Level” analyst, Ace. In the past, Ace and I have had a colorful history of differing opinions on a number of different smokes, most notably […]
El Titan de Bronze Redemption (Condensed Review)
Due to the feedback I received both on the Fan Forums and and on the Xikar Defiance Condensed Review, I’ve decided to give these short reviews a shot. Most of the particulars are still up in the air and need to be addressed, but the concept has been worked out. This time I smoke the […]
Defiance Cigar by Xikar (Condensed Review)
This weekend I found myself in a bit of confusion and wasn’t sure how to approach the issue. It seems that there are two camps that view my reviews. Those that dislike the fact that they are too long and those that don’t want them any shorter than they already are. I’m pretty stuck in […]
