I’m not sure what my deal is? I normally refer to myself as a mild-medium bodied purveyor of cigars. Lately though, I’ve been on a full-extra full bodied kick. Maybe its stress at work? Anxiety as we wait for my petite corona to arrive? Excitement for IPCPR? All the above? Who knows really? I’ll just […]
Don Pepin Garcia Cuban Classic Lancero (Short Ashes)
A couple of weeks ago I posted a very long writeup on the Cigar Expo put on by Famous Smoke Shop. In that writeup I mentioned that while there, I briefly spoke with Victor Vitale of the Cigar Agency. It was the first time I had the opportunity to speak with Victor in person and […]
A.Fernandez Maduro
Since I discovered the Man O’War Ruination, I’ve been tracking down some of his other cigars which brings me to the A.Fernandez Maduro part of his Signature Series over at Cigars International. Video runs around 13 minutes and I’ll be adding the A.Fernandez Maduro to my list of budget cigars. Its not sophisticated nor does […]
Perdomo 10th Anniversary Criollo
Back once again, we have Tom and Ed providing us with another cigar critique. This time they smoke the Perdomo 10th Anniversary Criollo. The video runs about thirty minutes and is filmed at St. Pete Pipe and Cigar. After watching the review, head on over to Tom’s Cigars and check out the site.
Verdadero Organic
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. This time, I lost. I know eating organic is a big buzzword these days. Hey! I’ll admit, some of the foods I eat I’ve switched to organic versions and my stomach has never felt better. Unfortunately, I’m not sure how successful organic tobacco will be. If it is to […]
Don Tomas Maduro
Welcome to the weekend edition of The Stogie Review! Don’t mind my new hairstyle…I’m limited with what I can do. I wish I could remember the Facebook or YouTube user who requested a “Great Torpedo” review of the Don Tomas Maduro. Sadly, my record keeping isn’t the greatest in the world. I have to admit […]
Rocky Patel Summer Collection 2009
One more day guys…one more day and its Friday and the start to another weekend. I’m in my Thursday spot reviewing the newest addition to the Rocky Patel Seasonal Collection in the Summer Collection 2009. I’m pretty new to Rocky’s Seasonal Collection having smoked the Winter 2009 and Spring 2009 so I can’t compare the […]

Man O’ War Ruination
And we’re back with the Man O’ War Ruination from the hands of AJ Fernandez of Tabacalera Fernandez. If you’ve been following me on Twitter or Facebook or YouTube you know how I feel about this cigar. I’ve been loving it! My love for it came to a surprise to me as its a extra […]
Esencia 2008 (Short Ashes)
A little while back Jerry, Brian, and I were fortunate enough to get some Esencia samples in the mail. None of us had the opportunity to try them in Las Vegas during IPCPR and were eager to see what all the hype was about. Shortly after receiving our packages, Jerry and Brian got together to […]
