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 […]
Jerry to the Rescue
Who am I to argue with a great title like ‘Jerry to the Rescue‘? Recently I started catching up on episodes from our longtime friends Bob and Dale from DogWatch Cigar Radio. It has been awhile since a member of Stogie Review had made an appearance on their long running show. Friday night I decided […]
An Afternoon with Bill Paley (Part One)
This is the first of two parts of An Afternoon with Bill Paley of La Palina Cigars filmed on April 21st with George Brightman at W.Curtis Draper (Bethesda). This follows the usual Q&A format on our ongoing series of interviews with many of the legends in the cigar industry. Bill and George discuss the past, […]
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 […]
An Afternoon with Litto Gomez (Part Two of Two)
So I lied in Part One…I thought this was going to be a three part series but it turns out to be only two. Part Two is jammed pack with Litto telling great stories including how he tweets from his horse while on his farm in the Dominican, the impact of social media, family member […]
An Afternoon with Litto Gomez (Part One of Two)
In our ongoing series of Q&A videos, George Brightman of W.Curtis Draper sits down with Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana. This is the first of three two parts where George and Litto talk about HR 1639/S.1461 and other legislative issues facing the premium cigar industry. Litto spends time talking about his humble beginning with […]
CAO Last Stick Standing “A”
This is the second of three videos for the CAO Last Stick Standing contest. Basically there are three cigars, the one with the most votes, wins and becomes a future release sometime in 2013. Walt, Brian, Charlie and I all received a container of the three contenders and we wondered what the best way to […]
Partagas 1845
The newest release from the stables of General Cigars is the Partagas 1845. I have a soft spot for Partagas. Any of you who have been with us since the beginning (can’t believe you have stuck around for over six years) probably found Stogie Review because of my review of the Partagas Black on YouTube […]

Walt, Brian, Charlie and I all received a container of the three contenders and we wondered what the best way […]
