Did you miss me? I had a bit of time off due to the awesome IPCPR coverage from Walt, Jerry, Brian and Charlie but I am back with a look at the Rodrigo La Fortaleza cigar. Getting right down to business. Woody spice right off the start with the spice really laying on the tongue. […]
Keith Park of Prometheus & God of Fire (IPCPR 2012)
If you are sitting down to watch the latest Stogie Review Video from IPCPR 2012 – Stop right there! Go grab yourself a tasty beverage and a cigar because you are going to be here for a while. This video, featuring Keith Park of Prometheus and God of Fire Cigars, is rather lengthy. Keith takes […]
Studio Tobac (IPCPR 2012)
Two Brians…one flip. There should be a rule against that or something. Brian takes some time at the end of the show to tell us what he actually does with Studio Tobac and also brings us up to date on all things Oliva, Cain and NUB cigars.
Honduras Caribbean Tobacco (IPCPR 2012)
Brian catches up with the folks from Honduras Caribbean Tobacco at IPCPR 2012. They bring us up to speed on their products like the Carmelo Primeros and it was cool that she had a sense of humor with regards to view from their booth.
Curivari Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
I’ve hard lots of people talking about Curivari Cigars over the past six months or so but we didn’t know too much about them or their cigars. Luckily Brian Hewitt was able to visit their booth and find out all about them and their cigars.
Iconic Leaf Cigar Co. (IPCPR 2012)
The Iconic Leaf Cigar Co. made its debut at IPCPR 2012. As we walked the show flow we had noticed that their booth had steady traffic for a company we had never heard of going in to the show. Brian Hewitt decided to investigate and see what Iconic Leaf Cigar Co. was all about and […]
Brother of The Leaf LLC (IPCPR 2012)
Famously known as Palio cutters although Brother of The Leaf LLC is the official name. Marc Aub joins us for another year to show off the shiny things he has been working on in his workshop. New cutters, new lighters…new cigar to accompany his Esencia brand.
Cuenca y Blanco (IPCPR 2012)
Lots of Drew Estate/Joya de Nicaragua coverage this year on Stogie Review. You’d think they sponsored our IPCPR coverage too…I kid I kid. I actually sent Brian Hewitt back to the booth to get Jose Blanco, or Jonathan Drew or someone from the booth to answer the “blogger” question since he forgot earlier. Hewitt got […]
Miami Cigar Co. (IPCPR 2012)
On the last day (which is actually a half day) Brian catches up with Nestor Miranda. Nestor takes a few minutes to showoff his 2012 editions of the Grand Reserve and Danno as well as a Connecticut version of the Nestor Miranda Special Selection and a new brand called Añoranzas.
Women of IPCPR (2012)
I know you’ll all be surprised to learn this, but among the most popular posts in our annual IPCPR coverage is the Women of IPCPR series (previous editions: 2011 & 2010). Who would have guessed that cigar smokers also enjoyed looking at beautiful women? While in previous years these posts have taken the form of […]
