My Uzi Weighs A Ton – Bait Fish (first impressions)
Yesterday, the temperatures rose enough and the clouds cleared up enough for me to head outside to enjoy a rare nice day in February. Not knowing how long the decent weather would hold out, I reached into my office humidor for something guaranteed to be a decent quick smoke. Out came the My Uzi Weighs […]
Liga Privada Papas Fritas
This time of year is always slow for us here at the Stogie Review. The majority of us live in parts of the country where it’s generally too cold to spend an extended period of time outside smoking a large cigar. When you can’t smoke indoors at home, and don’t have the time to make […]
Ezra Zion Reagan
In my day job, I work a lot with statistics. Over the past year, Gary Griffith from Emilio Cigars has brought six independent boutique cigar brands into his distribution network (in addition to his own lines). If my calculations are correct, and assuming the expansion continues at an exponential rate, by 2016 EVERY cigar brand […]
Brickhouse event at Genuine Tobacco
Brickhouse Event at Genuine Tobacco Hello my friends and welcome to a little look inside of the Brickhouse event I attended at Genuine Tobacco this past Thursday evening.

E Cigars by BOTL LLC [Esencia] (first impressions)
With limited time again this week, I figured I should look for something interesting to serve as the subject for a first impressions video review. As I was digging through my remaining samples from this summer’s IPCPR, I recalled the glowing praise offered by our own Walt White and also our friend Craig Vanderslice from […]
Diesel Crucible
Over the last few weeks we have been taking a closer look at the Diesel Line of cigars from AJ Fernandez and Cigars International. First we smoked the Diesel Unholy Cocktail, then we followed that up with the Diesel Grind. This week we take a look at the Diesel Crucible. As I mentioned in previous […]
Diesel Grind (Short Ashes)
Over the Thanksgiving weekend, I was struck with the desire to take a ride out to the new Cigars International Superstore in Hamburg, PA. Being in such close proximity to Cabela’s, I was a little afraid of what I might encounter with Black Friday Madness in full swing. Cabin Fever won out over wanting to […]
