Brian and Sean at the mic. It was a long week, so I did some napping between segments. This week I did something new, I went on a local radio show to talk about cigar and craft beer pairings. That’s right, traditional over-the-air waves radio. I was a guest on an hour long show called […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 99
It’s been a busy couple of weeks. Last Friday I was looking at the calendar thinking “how is it Friday already, and didn’t I just ask myself that same question yesterday?” So I’ve been uncharacteristically quiet for a while, but I haven’t been so busy I didn’t have time to enjoy some fine cigars. And […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 98
It’s once 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), […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 96
What a busy time of the year. Shopping for presents, travelling to deliver the presents, listening a friend or relative’s favorite yarn for the 12th time presented in stunning intox-a-vision, watching the new Star Wars, it’s hard to find time to sneak in a smoke. But somehow I always do. It’s either a gift or […]

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 94
It’s shaping up to be a fun week. I don’t really mean that, I have a chest cold which was probably exacerbated by a very good weekend. So that means a taking a break from cigars for a few days. I know, I hate it too. The good news is I think I have enough […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 93
It’s been a little while since I posted a week in smoke. With all the travel and video editing, I really got into the moving picture groove. But today, I feel like talking with my fingers. Before you get that restraining order, I mean by way of typing and some quick picture editing. Good thing […]

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 91
You’ve probably noticed that Stogie Review has been a little quiet since all the IPCPR 2015 interviews went live. Believe it or not, we’re not taking a break, nor are we throwing in the towel. Shortly after returning from the trade show we learned that our current video host, Blip, will be shutting down on […]
IPCPR 2015: Royal Agio
While we were in the Drew Estate booth, we also had a chance to speak with Boris Wintermans of Royal Agio Cigars. Since this is the first time we’ve talked to him, we got the video started with with his background and the history of Agio before discussing Balmoral Royal Selection Añejo 18 and the […]
