Today’s review is brought to you by whom else but my mother. Thanks mom for buying this stogie for me and the whole giving birth thing. My mother isn’t very different from other mothers out there. She doesn’t approve of her son smoking cigars just like she doesn’t approve of her son doing anything that […]
Carlos Torano – Virtuoso
A few weeks ago I got a very nice and unexpected package in the mail from a good friend of Stogie Review. Tom (cigarfan) from Keepers of the Flame took it upon himself to send me a care package. Among several very nice cigars was a Carlos Torano Virtuoso. Over the past several months Jerry […]
Tampa Sweethearts NO. 4
This Tampa Sweethearts NO. 4 comes in at 5.5×43 in both Natural and Maduro wrappers. This one is a Maduro that I received as a gift from Catfishm2 over a Club Stogie, as well as a rather large sampler of other Tampa Sweethearts, a testament to the atmosphere overe there. I received two of these […]
Gran Habano V.L.
Recently I found myself in the City by the Bay. This was my first trip to San Francisco and I can see why the city’s other nickname is fog city. Before I kickoff this review of the Gran Habano V.L. I need to thank a few folks who made me feel right at home in […]
Perdomo Lot 23
This Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto was a gift from the guys over at Dogwatch Social Club and was enjoyed during a herfcast for episode #80. While the wrapper was very smooth and without any large veins, it had a slightly rugged appearance but felt very good between the fingers. Very nice double cap that cut […]
K. Hansotia – Ancient Warrior
A few nights ago I was sitting in my basement trying to write my final speech for my Public Speaking class. As the term comes to a close at school I find myself getting stressed out due to the workload of night classes in addition to the normal forty hour work week. Now, more so […]
AVO Maduro
I grabbed a handful of these a week ago during a visit to a new B&M I found (don’t you just love finding a new B&M). I picked up a few #9s and a couple of #2s for when I’ve got more time. This review will be for the #9 which is 4.75×48. Upon removing […]
Fuente Fuente Opus X
It’s nice to have friends. It’s even better to have friends who age cigars and are generous enough to share them. For those of you who didn’t know, Walt & I belong to a small gaming clan called High Plains Strike Force (hpsf.org). We’re a group of gamers who play games like the Battlefield series […]
Hemingway Short Story
If you read the Curly Head review I ended that review with the Fuente name being an easy and popular name for the beginner to walk into any B&M and that tobacconist being able to recognize the Fuente name and suggestion the next step. Its always a great feeling to plant the seed of the […]
Arturo Fuente Curly Head (Natural)
Back in July my cohort Walt reviewed the Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro. At the time I didn’t realize there were two kinds of Curly Heads. The Deluxe that received a pretty poor review from Walt and the cigar I bring you today, the Curly Head (Natural). This is a great change of pace thats […]
