Due to my feeling a little under the weather, I don’t have a video cigar review for you this week. What I do have is a video and a question that I think could potentially stir up a lot of conversation among the community. Last week Marcian posed a question on the Stogie Review Fan […]
Three Herf Tips
While staring at a blank word processor screen, trying to come up with something to produce for the fine readers of Stogie Review, I recalled an email that came in a couple of hours ago. Thinking back to the email, I thought it would make for a great post. The email in question was from […]

Jameson Cigar Company Red Label (Blind Tasting)
On September 20th, I packed up my gear and made my way across town to Kensington Tobacconist for another Blind Cigar Tasting.

Last week when Jerry and I sat down to record episode 36 of Your Questions, My Answers (YQMA) we both lit up a Por Larranaga that we received courtesy of Rich from the Fan Forums. About an inch and a half into the cigar I started to notice some tar droplets on the cut head. […]
