Another week in the books here at Stogie Review. In case you missed anything, here is a brief run down. I kicked the week off with a review of the La Casita Criolla by Tatuaje. Mike followed on Tuesday with a cigar I’ve never heard of in the 809 Connecticut. The Mouth of the South […]
Laying Down the Law
In the first two episodes of Your Questions, My Answers (Season 2) we’ve talk a lot about Cuban cigars. Particularly about what will happen when the Cuban Embargo is lifted and about Cuban trademarks. Our answers were typically uninformed and mainly for entertainment purposes.

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
Where am I? It feels like forever since I actually did a review. Lancaster PA, Chattanooga TN, Atlanta GA, Seattle WA? Craziness I tell you. Before I get back on the review bandwagon I need to play catchup. This edition of Week in Smoke is hardly what I would call complete. Lots of missed opportunities […]
