Over the past few days I have been thinking about posting some sort of article on selecting a cigar for a special occasion. After thinking about how to approach that article from a variety of angles, I just couldn’t settle on one that I was completely happy with. Giving advice on how to select a […]
J. Fuego 777 Corojo (Short Ashes)
Last week I was able to bang out three Short Ashes reviews. The intention was to create a little bit of a pool of content to draw from as the holidays starting popping up and we were pressed for time. Little did I know, right after I recorded the videos that I was going to […]
Davidoff Colorado Claro (Special T)
I know I know, it seems odd The Great Torpedo/Don “Cruz”ado would be reviewing a cigar made by Davidoff. Its historically not my speed and a brand that I’ve shied away from. Partly because of the hefty price tag but more out of my own ignorance of assuming that the cigar wasn’t meant for me […]
Zino Embassy Selection Limited Edition Perfecto
I guess I haven’t been paying attention lately, because when the Zino Embassy Selection touched down at a local cigar shop I was surprised. Standing in front of an open burgundy box of 10 large perfectos, my thought process went a little like this: “A new Zino? Why I didn’t hear about… Whoah, wait. That […]
El Baton by JC Newman Cigars (Guest Review)
For this weeks guest review spot, we have our good friends Tom and Ed. Like usual, the guys join us from Ed’s shop, St Pete Pipe and Cigar, in St. Petersburg, Florida. The feature cigar is the El Baton by JC Newman Cigars. The guys explain that the vitola is described as a Double Torpedo […]
Ah Memories…
The other night on Twitter one of our long time fans of Stogie Review, vic121, posed the following question to Walt, Brian and myself: what do you guys think is the secret to your success? It was a bit late in the night to take vic121‘s question seriously but it did spark a conversation reminiscing […]

In order to enter yourself into the random drawing, we asked everyone to submit their “Matt Booth Pose”. Throughout the contest we received some awesome entries. Some looked really cool and one or […]
Oliva Serie O Maduro (Twitter Review)
Believe it or not, here it is, time for another Stogie Review Tweet-View, and I’m sick once again. Unlike last month when I was laid up in bed, this time I seem to have come down with allergies, or the like, and found myself completely congested. Not wanting to bail out of a second Twitter […]
You Answer Your Own Emails?
Over the last couple of weeks, I have been getting the funniest emails from our readers. After submitting a question through our contact form and receiving a reply from Brian, Jerry, or myself, the response generally looks something like this. Oh man dude, I am so impressed that you actually responded to me…. In addition […]
ORTSAC 1962 Robusto (Short Ashes)
Back in June, I received a few samples of a new cigar called the ORTSAC 1962 (Castro spelled backwards). The cigars were sent my way by Victor Vitale of the Cigar Agency and he asked that I smoke them and give him my opinion. After smoking a few samples, I moved right along and reviewed […]
