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 […]
Camacho Negro
Several months ago I read a topic on Club Stogie that pertained to splitting a couple of boxes of cigars. The boxes in question were a box of CAO Brazillia and a box of Camacho Negro. Being a little strapped for cash I contacted this person and asked if he was willing to split the […]
Pirate’s Gold No. 4
Here we have a Pirate’s Gold No. 4 by Rolando Reyes Sr. from Honduras weighing in at 5.5×44. The Pirate’s Gold brand has been made by several manufacturers in as many different countries, with this particular Honduran-grown version apparently no longer being produced. Apparently after this version was released production was moved to the Dominican […]
Oliva Series G Maduro
A couple of days before Christmas, I had the opportunity to sneak away for about an hour or so and try to enjoy some time to myself with a good cigar. The cigar that I decided to go with at that particular time was an Oliva Series “G” Maduro. While at JM Cigars in Exton, […]
Sosa
Last week while visiting JM Cigars in Exton I was wandering around in the humidor when I came across a box of Sosa cigars. Not having tried one before, I decided to pick up a couple. I have heard good things about the Sosa line and looked forward to sampling one.
