The first of three videos recorded at the Drew Estate booth during IPCPR. This video compliments the earlier one on one interview we did with Willy Herrera. So even if you watched that interview you will still want to check this video out as its entertaining, informative and just bad ass with Jonathan Drew leading […]
Cigars for Warriors (IPCPR 2012)
I was going through the footage we shot covering the Drew Estate booth at IPCPR and one of the parts of the booth tour featured Cigars for Warriors. I thought the Cigars for Warriors program deserved its own post instead of being mixed in with the other footage where it might get overshadowed. I think […]
SAG Imports (IPCPR 2012)
One of the most entertaining interviews I’ve done was with Terence Reilly a few months ago in March. We catchup with Terence and visit the SAG Imports booth, home to brands like Domus Magnus, Casa Magna and Quesada. Spend a few minutes and see all the exciting things coming from SAG Imports this year.
Cigar Oasis (IPCPR 2012)
While walking the floor of the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show in Orlando, we were handed a flyer by one of the beautiful Women of IPCPR. On that flyer was an advert for an interesting retro digital hygrometer. Brian and Jerry found it cool enough to turn on their heels and head to the Cigar Oasis […]
Around the Show Floor at IPCPR 2012
As the newest member of the Stogie Review crew, and a first-time attendee of IPCPR, my job at the show was to support the rest of the guys in putting together our unrivaled, in-depth coverage. Part of this consisted of shooting video and still photos to complement the primary content which focused on interviews with […]
262 Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
I remember a few years ago Clint Aaron of 262 Cigars didn’t have a booth and we interviewed him in between two other booths. Now look at Clint…all grown up with a big boy booth these days. We caught Clint during a brief lul at his booth where he gives us the run down on […]
17 Minutes with Alec Bradley (IPCPR 2012)
This video is roughly twice as long as most of our other IPCPR videos. We have to make up for lost time as things didn’t work out last year and this year we get two Rubins. For those who may not have known, the name Alec Bradley comes from Alan Rubin’s two sons, Alec and […]
Jesus Fuego of J. Fuego Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
Both Brian and I are big fans of Jesus Fuego and his various cigars. As a result, we always enjoy talking shop with Jesus and look forward to his new cigars. This year we learned that the show was special for him because his father (grower of Brazilian tobaccos used in J. Fuego product) as […]
Foundry by General Cigar (IPCPR 2012)
I’m not sure what to exactly make of Foundry. The premise of it is pretty creative and the cigar looks very good. I’m just not sure how I feel about the gear ring thing and the half cellophane sleeve. The aesthetics are unique, interesting, crazy and odd all at the same time. Wasn’t there a […]
Willy Herrera – Herrera Esteli (IPCPR 2012)
During the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show, in Orlando, I was walking through the Drew Estate booth when suddenly a meat hook grabbed hold of my shoulder. I turned to see Willy Herrera towing over me with a smile on his face. It has been so long since I’ve last spoken with Willy that I completely […]
