Instead of your regularly scheduled Tower of Burn, this week Walt and I bring you a Herfin’ Heads-style dual video review of a cigar you may not have heard of yet: the Inferno by Oliva. The Inferno is a billed as a full-bodied blend that’s chock-full of “dark, savory ligero” while still carrying a surprisingly […]
Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate
In my Week in Smoke series I’ve been talking a lot about how great the Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate has been smoking. It came as a bit of a surprise that none of us here at Stogie Review have actually reviewed it (we did publish a guest review). So this isn’t some […]
little boris by Tatuaje Cigars (pre-release)
I know its been a Tatuaje love fest here the past couple days. Let the love continue but first I have to get the “legal” notice out of the way. This sample was given to me by Pete Johnson of Tatuaje Cigars while he was in the area for a Father’s Day event at The […]
La Flor Dominicana Reserva Especial (first impressions)
Things are starting to settle down a little bit with the newborn, but I still haven’t had time to finish my next full review. Other than the CAO Last Stick Standing clips, it’s been a while since my last video, so I decided to pull something out of my desktop humidor for a quick first […]
Regius
Welcome to my review of the Regius cigar. I have had these for a while but I did not want to break up the series review I was doing so I got to them as quick as I could. This cigar is a robusto size (4 7/8X50) and I was gifted these from the manufacturer […]

Quesada Q D’etat Howitzer
The Quesada Q D’etat Howitzer has been on my list to smoke since I reviewed the Molotov back in April. By now you know that the Q D’etat Series was created as a protest against increased restrictions on cigar smoking and higher tobacco taxes. The Howitzer, a massive 6×60, represents the second of three releases […]

Los Blancos Nine (Short Ashes)
After a very hectic couple of weeks, which involved a totaled vehicle and non-stop phone calls from various insurance people, I am back with a cigar review. This time I revisit the Los Blancos Nine. I first tried this cigar a couple of years back at the IPCPR trade show in New Orleans. I fell […]
CI Legends – Black Label
Welcome to the last of this series review with the CI Legends Black Label by La Aurora Starting out there is a sweet tobacco scent on the wrapper and just plain tobacco on the foot and cold draw. First couple puffs give a woody note but the spice ramps up very quickly and takes over […]
