Thanks again to Carlos in NJ as this is another one of the many cigars he sent me a few weeks ago. When you watch the video you will see I was a bit torn by this cigar. I enjoyed the cigar and I’d recommend it. The problem is, I’m not sure if I’d remember […]
Rocky Patel Edge Missile
Here we have the Rocky Patel Edge Missile, weighing in at 5×48 and in a maduro wrapper. The Edge is available in both maduro and corojo wrappers, each in Toro (6×52), Torpedo (6×52) and Missile (5×48) sizes. Though I have no first-hand evidence, I have been told that these now sport a band on the […]
Jericho by Camacho
A few weeks back I got an email from C-Bid about a sampler of Jericho cigars. The price was decent (around $30.00) so I decided to place a bid. After a few days I got an email letting me know that I had won my auction and that I was the owner of a Jericho […]
Vasco da Gama Coronas
Huge thanks to Carlos aka Boofa for his very generous care package he sent me last week. I gotta say, I enjoyed this cigar more than I thought I would. I actually thought the cigar would be harsh and I would label the cigar as a DNF. To my surprise I really enjoyed the flavor […]
CAO Criollo Pampas
The 4×40 CAO Criollo Pampas is a Nicaraguan puro with a Cuban-seed Criollo 1998 wrapper. This particular cigar had a very rustic looking wrapper that was obviously rather small given the number of turns it made around this short cigar, all capped off with a very nice looking pigtail. It had a very rich and […]
Rocky Patel Connecticut
First I have to apologize for the rush job on the video. I really wasn’t on my game tonight as it seemed all day long I was behind in everything I needed to do. Just the way it goes in my world of a father-to-be. The Rocky Patel Connecticut came up in discussion during my […]
Tatuaje Havana VI Angeles
This is another creation from Pete Johnson and Pepin Garcia, produced in Pepin’s Tabacalera Cubana factory in Esteli, Nicaragua. The Angeles is a Nicaraguan puro with a silky Corojo 99 wrapper weighing in at 4-5/8×42. The Havana VI is reported to be a milder blend than the original Tatuaje with the brown band. Similar to […]
Camacho Select
If you are a regular visitor here at Stogie Review, you already know that I am a bit of a Camacho Fanatic. Over the past couple of years I have come to really enjoy a strong Camacho Cigar to cap off a long day. After hearing about the Camacho Select, I was really excited to […]
Montesino Diplomatico
This 5.5×42, slightly box-pressed, maduro wrapped beauty came to me courtesy of a trade and while I’m usually pretty good at keeping track of what I’ve got in the humidors and where it came from I can’t remember for the life of me where this one came from. The wrapper was dark and oily and […]
Montecristo White
While I was wishing for something white on Christmas here in Maryland, the closest I got to a white Christmas was enjoying my Montecristo White cigar. This is the Toro sized Montecristo White and comes in at 6 long with a 54 ring gauge. The Montecristo White features an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler […]
