‘Whats old is new’ has been a phrase I have been using a lot lately. I’ve been doing my fair share of revisiting some of the cigars that we smoked back in the early days of Stogie Review. The cigar smoker today is a different creature from a cigar smoker from 2006. Back in 2006 […]
Tatuaje Jason – Group First Impressions
Welcome to my first video in a while. I know, some of you are rejoicing and others are yelling at the computer asking why I had to come back. After the water leaks, ceiling falling down, roof repairs, etc etc, I am back with a little something different. I got a text from my local […]
Four Kicks by Crowned Heads
Things have been a little tight this year and as a result, I’ve been doing the bulk of my cigar shopping online. The last couple of orders I have placed have been through Cigar Monster. If you started to see a pattern between Famous Sale Items and my reviews, it was no coincidence. In my […]
2007 Ramon Allones Small Club Corona
Many years ago, when I joined a forum, which I’m still an active member of, Cigar Weekly, I started learning a lot more about Cuban cigars. One of the things I learned was that one of the best vitolas in Cubans cigars is the petit corona. The short, usually 30 minute smokes, pack a ton […]
1502 Emerald
It has been sometime since I’ve done a video review. Inspired by Walt who has made a return to doing video reviews I decided to do the same. I actually forgot how much fun it can be and not as labor intensive as I remembered it being. So this should be the first of many […]
K.A. Kendall’s 7-20-4 Robusto
This week kind of got away from me and I found myself in a predicament. My daughter just laid down for a nap and I had a narrow window where I could review a cigar. Did I gamble and smoke a cigar that could potentially be a rough experience or would I revisit something that […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 34
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
Romeo Y Julieta House of Montague
Romeo Y Julieta House of Montague. With a name like that, it makes a man feel as though he should smoke it with his pinky finger extended towards the heavens, in a show of class and sophistication. In addition to the fancy name, it isn’t packaged half bad either. It features a white wrapper with […]
Asylum
I am a glutton for punishment. Despite having virtually no cigar budget these days, I like to browse over to Cigar Monster once per day to check out their Monster Mashup. More often than not, I wind up closing the browser tab and texting Jerry about some great deal I came across. Last week I […]
Sencillo Black
Last week I fell into a groove. The weather was beautiful and after recording a review of the E Stunner by EP Carrillo, I wanted to follow it up with something else. I dug around in my humidor and came up with a Sencillo Black. I headed outside with my cigar, camera, and a cup […]
