I had a chance to sit down with Christian Eiroa at Genuine Tobacco before the start of the Asylum/CLE event.

Without further ado, […]

Elogio Habano Crescent City Cigars Exclusivo

Commonwealth Cedar Spills
Last year at the Tweetup in Chattanooga, I met Thomas Person, President of Commonweath Cedar Spills. His company specializes in the creation of cedar strips that can be used to light cigars. But they’re more than simple strips of wood. Each spill is tapered from a thicker handle to a smaller bulbous lighting end, and […]
Liga Privada Papas Fritas

Ben’s Recent Smokes – Inaugural Edition
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 […]
