I figured it was about time to have my first week/month in smoke at Stogie Review. Its kind of a Stogie Review specialty. Instead of limiting my time frame to either days, week or month, I’m just going to call it my recent smokes because I truly have no idea how far I might go […]
Charlie’s Month in Smoke, vol. 12
They’re calling it an “epidemic.” This year’s flu outbreak has been pretty bad, spanning almost the entire country. Although I’ve personally not come down with anything (other than a day or two of feeling “icky”), unfortunately my wife and son each fell ill for a few days. Taking care of a sick family caused me […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 23
It’s time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), along […]

It’s time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), along […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
The other week I was hanging out at W.Curtis Draper Bethesda with my pal @HumidorNotes and I made a blanket statement along the lines of ‘all 60+ ring gauge cigars suck’. Those may not have been my exact words but thats an accurate description of my sentiment towards bigger ring gauge cigars. This started an […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 20
It’s time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. But before we get into it, I’d like to thank Matt for the generous cigar bomb, the source of many of the sticks featured this week. (And not just the CLE cigars.) In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Where does the year go? Is it really mid-November? The past week I’ve received invitations from different cigar shows for me to come on before the end of the year and to discuss what are the top cigars of 2012. The attention whore that I am immediately accepted every invitation and ignoring the fact that […]
Charlie’s Month in Smoke, vol. 11
These days, time seems to be a luxury I can’t afford. I was hoping to have a video recorded for today, but alas, it was not to be. I do have some interesting reviews and first impressions in the works, and will try to have something ready for next week. In the meantime, just because […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Halloween Edition
It’s time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. And this time, it’s a little scary, in keeping with the time of year and the weather in some parts of the country. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I thought things would free up after my first graduate level paper was done last week but not so much when you have a group project and midterms giving you the evil eye whenever you do something that isn’t school related. Such is life…I got asked a question about why I haven’t done a full […]
