Over the last few days I have received a steady supply of questions through email, twitter, youtube, and the contact form. The strange thing about these recent questions is that many of them have been the same. With the recent announcement of the SCHIP tax proposal (as reported by the Stogie Guys) and Lew Rothman, […]

A Stogie To Do List For 2009
It’s been a both an excellent and a horrible couple of cigar weeks for yours truly. As clock ticked away the final days and hours of 2008, I lit up some truly excellent cigars. I also spent around a week’s worth of time sans stogie as wrestled with a sinus infection, and now a chest […]
Stogie Poll: Smoking while you are sick

Man has been cultivating, preparing and smoking tobacco for over 7000 years. Any activity that man is involved with for that amount of time is sure to accumulate a wealth of myth, half-truths and ritual.
