One of the most entertaining interviews I’ve done was with Terence Reilly a few months ago in March. We catchup with Terence and visit the SAG Imports booth, home to brands like Domus Magnus, Casa Magna and Quesada. Spend a few minutes and see all the exciting things coming from SAG Imports this year.
Cigar Oasis (IPCPR 2012)
While walking the floor of the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show in Orlando, we were handed a flyer by one of the beautiful Women of IPCPR. On that flyer was an advert for an interesting retro digital hygrometer. Brian and Jerry found it cool enough to turn on their heels and head to the Cigar Oasis […]
Around the Show Floor at IPCPR 2012
As the newest member of the Stogie Review crew, and a first-time attendee of IPCPR, my job at the show was to support the rest of the guys in putting together our unrivaled, in-depth coverage. Part of this consisted of shooting video and still photos to complement the primary content which focused on interviews with […]
262 Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
I remember a few years ago Clint Aaron of 262 Cigars didn’t have a booth and we interviewed him in between two other booths. Now look at Clint…all grown up with a big boy booth these days. We caught Clint during a brief lul at his booth where he gives us the run down on […]
17 Minutes with Alec Bradley (IPCPR 2012)
This video is roughly twice as long as most of our other IPCPR videos. We have to make up for lost time as things didn’t work out last year and this year we get two Rubins. For those who may not have known, the name Alec Bradley comes from Alan Rubin’s two sons, Alec and […]
Jesus Fuego of J. Fuego Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
Both Brian and I are big fans of Jesus Fuego and his various cigars. As a result, we always enjoy talking shop with Jesus and look forward to his new cigars. This year we learned that the show was special for him because his father (grower of Brazilian tobaccos used in J. Fuego product) as […]
Foundry by General Cigar (IPCPR 2012)
I’m not sure what to exactly make of Foundry. The premise of it is pretty creative and the cigar looks very good. I’m just not sure how I feel about the gear ring thing and the half cellophane sleeve. The aesthetics are unique, interesting, crazy and odd all at the same time. Wasn’t there a […]
Willy Herrera – Herrera Esteli (IPCPR 2012)
During the 2012 IPCPR Trade Show, in Orlando, I was walking through the Drew Estate booth when suddenly a meat hook grabbed hold of my shoulder. I turned to see Willy Herrera towing over me with a smile on his face. It has been so long since I’ve last spoken with Willy that I completely […]
La Flor Dominicana (IPCPR 2012)
Litto Gomez of La Flor Dominicana joins us again for another year. Litto spends a few minutes with Brian talking about a few new things that LFD is bringing to the market starting with he Oro which comes in three sizes including Litto’s famous chisel format. All three sizes come in golden tubos and features […]
AJ Fernandez Cigars (IPCPR 2012)
The success of Stogie Review is never our’s alone. We have lots of help. For the second year in a row, we had a lot of help getting time with AJ Fernandez. Lots of people played a role in making it happen and bringing all of us together to talk about AJ’s newest releases like […]
