My last attempt with an organic cigar left me wanting more. Again our own KnightRid comes to the rescue with another organic cigar for me to try. My experience with the Plasencia Reserva Organica was surprisingly refreshing. Sure it had a simple, one note flavor component but thats what was so refreshing. A change of […]
Don Tomas Cameroon Collection
A month or so ago I reviewed the Don Tomas Maduro and was quiet surprised by how the maduro performed, the flavors and the price point. I decided to explore more of the offerings from the Don Tomas stable of cigars and our new moderator on The SR Fan Forums, KnightRid, was nice enough to […]
Cigar Wallpapers – Round 2
The last week has been very busy for me and I’ve been spending a lot of time running from one place to the next. As a result, I wasn’t able to find the time to record my regular review and had to push it off a day. Pushing it off a day left us with […]
Casa Magna Colorado Robusto (Short Ashes)
With the arrival of Jerry’s Petit Corona getting closer and closer, he has been dealing with a landslide of work at his day-job. He asked me if I could step in for him while he gets his head above water and I saw it as the perfect opportunity to finally smoke that acclaimed Cigar of […]

Straight off the truck. I had heard about these from the IPCPR show, and seen an ad for them in a couple of cigar magazines. […]
Factual Cigar Database
Back in June I got an email from Grant over at Factual. In the email Grant introduced himself and described Factual as the “Wikipedia of Data“. He told me that he stumbled onto Stogie Review and liked what he saw. As a result, he invited me to have a look at the beta site. What […]
CNN Video on Hav-A-Tampa Closure
While logged into Facebook just the other day, I saw Jeff Borysiewicz of Corona Cigar Company make mention of a CNN Video involving a cigar company. Being at work when I saw the mention, I made a note for myself to watch it when I got back home for the day. The two minute video […]

2009 European Cigar Cult Journal Awards
While Jerry and I were doing our thing at IPCPR (read: wandering around the convention center floor), we bumped into Colin Ganley of the European Cigar Cult Journal. We talked for a bit and he was kind enough to extend us an invitation to the ECCJ Awards. The awards were being held in the Hilton […]
