Continuing on my Rocky Patel kick, I’m back this week with a review of the Rocky Patel Renaissance. Now if you were following my escapades in Orlando earlier in the month you will know that I had my first Renaissance while I was vacationing but lets see how the Renaissance holds up back here in […]
Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro
In my new spot here on Thursdays and thought I’d review the Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro. I loved the El Triunfador which is basically the same blend as the Cabaiguan Maduro just in a lancero size. For about 2/3 of the cigar, I was very satisfied and was looking forward to a stellar finish. Unfortunately something […]
Rocky Patel Rosado
Similar to my review on the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend the Rocky Patel Rosado is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke Shop. Again, in the interest of complete transparency I wanted to say that Famous Smoke Shop is an advertiser with The Stogie Review and we’re also good friends on […]
Illusione eccj
Brian and I get together for around 30 minutes one sunny day and talk cigars while reviewing the Illusione eccj.
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
First, let me say, probably not the best video I’ve ever done. Wasn’t really happy with the way it turned out so no bells and whistles. Its been sometime since I originally review the Rocky Patel Sun Grown and labeled it as one of my “WOW” cigars. Two years later does it still live up […]
CAO MX3 (Escaparate)
Thanks to Walt and Brian for filling in for me in my normal spots. Its great to be feeling better and back in the saddle again and what a cigar I have for you! I mentioned some of this over on My Daily Cigar but the CAO MX3 is part of CAO’s Escaparate collection. The […]
Petite Tatuaje
Not sure how many “small cigar” reviews we’ve done on The Stogie Review. While I’ve tried a few of the small cigars out there, I’m normally not a fan. My experience has always been less than noteworthy. They always seem to burn too hot and too harsh for my liking. When I bought a cab […]
El Rey de los Habanos
The worst part of vacation is the part where you realize that the week has gone by too fast and you’re on a flight back home. Orlando was great! Got to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot for the first time and got to hangout with a few cigar peeps. While I was in Orlando I […]
Padilla Habano (Burberry Perfecto)
The Padilla Habano has been a favorite cigar for many of you out there and with the new addition of the Burberry Perfecto to the line, I don’t see that changing any time soon. This new Burberry Perfecto line adds more flair to the Padilla Habano’s already highly rated flavor profile and adds a few […]
Cruzado
I know…I know…I know…his name is Dion not Don. For whatever reason my mind was already in vacation mode so I kept saying Don instead of Dion. Video runs around 12 minutes and while I forget to say it in the video, the Cruzado gets the Great Torpedo Seal of Approval. Not only do I […]
