Someone told me a long time ago that if you have a problem with Jose Blanco, then the problem is with you. Jose Blanco has been a great supporter of Stogie Review, social media and bloggers in general since before his current role at Joya De Nicaragua. And his son Jasper is just one adorable […]
IPCPR 2013: Willie Herrera #DEipcpr
Us and Willie Herrera go back a long way and it is great to see one of our friends in the industry having the success he is experiencing today. Willie spends a few minutes with us to bring us up to date on how the Herrera Esteli is doing as well as some insight as […]
IPCPR 2013: Cigar Oasis
We first came across Cigar Oasis at last year’s IPCPR when we found a prototype of their new digital hygrometer that had the shape and feel of the old style analog hygrometers. Even more recently Brian Hewitt reviewed a production unit of the Caliber 4R. At this year’s show we spent some time with them […]
IPCPR 2013: Sam Leccia
Every year we have a minor hiccup with IPCPR Coverage. Fortunately, we are past the days of those hiccups being hosting related. This time, unfortunately, they came in the form of Brian’s camera dying. The good news is that it happened right at the end of the interview so I’m told you aren’t missing much. […]
IPCPR 2013: La Flor Dominicana
During Brian’s time in the La Flor Dominicana Booth, two videos were recorded. The first was a new product tour and the second was focused on the new La Flor Dominicana Chapter 1. Rather than post two separate La Flor Dominicana Videos, I decided it would be best to combine them into a single video […]
IPCPR 2013: JC Newman
In this video, Brian is walked through the large JC Newman / Cigar Family booth and is introduced to new products. The most interesting thing that I took away from this interview was in regards to the Toast Across America Sampler. I had no idea that over 5 Million Dollars have been raised for the […]
IPCPR 2013: Miami Cigar
If you aren’t familiar with the story, Barry Stein was once a cigar blogger. Barry has always been a friend of Stogie Review and, not terribly long ago, he made the transition from Blogger to working for Miami Cigar. As someone from the outside looking in, I think Barry made a great move. He looks […]
IPCPR 2013: Herrera Cigars & Charmed Leaf

IPCPR 2013: Felix Assouline Cigars
Felix Assouline Cigars wasn’t on our radar coming into IPCPR. It wasn’t until we saw our friend Benny Gomez of Havana Sunrise fame and learned that Felix Assouline is representing his Havana Sunrise blend. Felix was kind enough to spend a few moments with us to tell us all about his other brands. Hewitt got […]
IPCPR 2013: Guayacan Cigars
In this video, Brian spends a little time with Noel Rojas of Guayacan Cigars. The video is short and sweet but does a good job of introducing a product that, up until this point, I was very unfamiliar with. Sponsored by http://drewestate.com/ipcpr
