Petite Tatuaje
Not sure how many “small cigar” reviews we’ve done on The Stogie Review. While I’ve tried a few of the small cigars out there, I’m normally not a fan. My experience has always been less than noteworthy. They always seem to burn too hot and too harsh for my liking. When I bought a cab […]
El Rey de los Habanos
The worst part of vacation is the part where you realize that the week has gone by too fast and you’re on a flight back home. Orlando was great! Got to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot for the first time and got to hangout with a few cigar peeps. While I was in Orlando I […]
Alec Bradley Tempus (Short Ashes)
For the first time in Short Ashes history, I decided to review something that I have not reviewed in the past. Instead I have reviewed a cigar that I have smoked several of over the past few months and that Brian was fortunate enough to get his hands on early in the release. That cigar […]
Arganese Nicaraguan Presidente (Short Ashes)
With a forgotten appointment looming over my head, I needed to act fast and whip up a review for todays post. Not having the normal time frame available, I decided to go with a Short Ashes review today and hope to have a full length review up on Saturday. This week a take a look […]
Padilla Habano (Burberry Perfecto)
The Padilla Habano has been a favorite cigar for many of you out there and with the new addition of the Burberry Perfecto to the line, I don’t see that changing any time soon. This new Burberry Perfecto line adds more flair to the Padilla Habano’s already highly rated flavor profile and adds a few […]
Cruzado
I know…I know…I know…his name is Dion not Don. For whatever reason my mind was already in vacation mode so I kept saying Don instead of Dion. Video runs around 12 minutes and while I forget to say it in the video, the Cruzado gets the Great Torpedo Seal of Approval. Not only do I […]
YQMA – The Quickie Test
Well folks, we’re getting closer…while not an “official” YQMA release, I recruited Walt as a guinea pig to try using a combination of software packages to test a split screen version of YQMA. Walt and I do spend about 16 minutes talking about NUB Cigars, SCHIP and our cigar adventures this summer. Our hope is […]
Oliva Serie V Liga Especial (Short Ashes)
Back once again, with taste buds that are still a little out of whack from a bout with allergies, I have for you a short video on the Oliva Serie V Liga Especial. This review was recorded outside in my yard (while seated to prevent dizzy spells as caused by my Camacho Coyolar review). Video […]
Camacho Coyolar (Short Ashes)
This past week I was sidelined by a blast of allergies, as a result I was unable to get my traditional Friday review done for you. Fortunately, before the allergies kicked in I was able to record a short ashes review of the Camacho Coyolar. Now that my allergies seem to be lessening, it looks […]
