Weather warmed up a bit the past couple days. Smoking in above freezing weather is always much more comfortable. This week I have another gem of a cigar for you. A new release from Joya de Nicaragua and an addition to their Antano line. The Joya de Nicaragua Antano Dark Corojo was announced during the […]
Casa Fernandez Arsenio 2009
Happy New Year! 2009 was an amazing year for me with the birth of my petite corona, for cigars and a record breaking year for Stogie Review! If 2010 is as good as the Casa Fernandez Arsenio then 2010 is shaping up to be even better. The Casa Fernandez Arsenio definitely lays a solid foundation […]
Diesel – Unholy Cocktail
The latest release from AJ Fernandez, maker of the Man O’War Series, has been the focus of my eye for awhile. Between the juicy images and mouth watering description in the CI/Cigar.com catalog and the buzz on Twitter, I couldn’t wait any longer to weigh in on the Unholy Cocktail aka the Diesel. Video runs […]
Cubao Maduro
Thinking back to pre-IPCPR I remember first hearing about the Cubao Maduro and was excited. Its no secret that I’m a big fan of the natural Cubao, especially in the Lancero size, so I waited with baited breathe for the Cubao Maduro to be released. Not every cigar can be a winner right? I know […]
Punch Rare Corojo (2009)
First and foremost, I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. I hope along with your steak, ribs, burgers, hot dogs and endless cigars, you set aside a few moments and thank all those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. We’re a melting pot of people and we don’t agree on much, […]

Welcome to The Great Torpedo Edicion of Top 10 Cigars for 2008. In case you’ve been kidnapped by elves or in-laws and missed it, be sure to checkout Walt’s Top 10 and Brian’s Top 10. I was actually surprised that my list actually shares 3 cigars that are on Walt’s list. Really thought Brian and […]
Azul Luna Polo
Hey folks! This week I bring you a cigar that was gifted to me by my buddy Stew over at The World According to Stew. Stew had got these cigars after meeting the guy who owns the line at a polo match Stew was at. Stew sent a pair of these my way so I […]
Camacho 10th Anniversary
I’m back! Filling in for my buddy Walt who needed to take care of some plumbing issues (if you follow Walt, Brian and I on Twitter you know the story). No Cuban this time around. Instead I have a review of the robusto sized Camacho 10th Anniversary. Its a cigar that I’ve read mixed reviews […]
