Welcome to the new Stogie Voice (formerly known as The Stogie Sampler). Thanks to everyone who chimed in various ways with various name suggestions for this new audio only feature. Walt reviewed the Bolivar (Dominican) back in June and since I had one of these sitting in my humidor for the last three months, I […]
Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ Maduro
Switching it up a bit. One of the requests we received awhile back when I asked how we could make The Stogie Review better was to offer quick, concise, picture and audio only reviews. I guess some folks think I don’t have a TV friendly face…in our ever growing attempt to give you (our readers, […]
Primer Mundo Rosado Oscuro Perfecto
This week I’m taking a look at a hometown cigar. That’s right, Atlanta, GA has a cigar manufacturer! And that cigar maker is El Primer Mundo! But if you come to Atlanta looking for a large warehouse of slowly fermenting tobacco, you won’t find it. Neither will you find rows of skilled cigar rollers working […]
Oliva Serie V Ligero Especial – Lancero
This weeks review is a bit of a re-visit in the form of the Oliva Serie V Ligero Especial. This time around I decided to check out the new Lancero size and see what kind of difference size made on this smoke. The Serie V Lancero weighs in at 7.00 inches long with a 38 […]
CAO Sopranos Soldier
By email request, this week I’m taking a look at the CAO Sopranos Soldier. (And you thought we didn’t read your email!) As luck would have it, I just happened to have a few of these guys kicking around in my collection of RTDA/IPCPR booty. Normally I’m good for some friendly banter just before the […]
Arganese Chairman – Double Wrap
Up for review this week is the Arganese Chairman Double Wrap, which was very generously provided to us by our good friend Jesse from the Cigar Jack News and Reviews Blog. Not too long ago I received an email from Jesse asking if we would like to review a few of the Arganese cigars as […]
Camacho Liberty 2006
I’m often asked how I feel about others who are doing video cigar reviews. I support any and all cigar related digital media where the reviewer is honest about the review and not promoting a cigar to get into good favor with “the man”.
La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet No. 5
Hello everyone, I’m back from my cross-country roadtrip (didja miss me?), all rested and ready to tackle another cigar for my new Wednesday review time slot. Today I’ll be taking a good look at the La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet. I was introduced to this cigar at a small La Flor Dominicana gathering one evening […]
Tampa Sweetheart No. 50
First and foremost I hope everyone had themselves a good Labor Day weekend with lots of free time to kick back and enjoy a few fine cigars. As for myself, I am kicking back and enjoying a Tampa Sweetheart No. 50 which I received from “Smoke & Aces” as a cigar bomb from Cigar Live. […]
Rocky Patel Fusion
Video is a bit different this time and runs 18:22. I did a dry run of using ustream.tv to stream a live video of me reviewing the Rocky Patel Fusion. Thanks to Bernard and Richard from the Stogie Fan Forum for participating. It was a lot of fun and I think this has a lot […]
