A few months back, Jerry, Brian, and I were talking about some of the things we would like to do in the future with Stogie Review. Most of the discussion was aimed at reorganizing and the creation of new pages. While we talked, Brian mentioned doing some kind of Frequently Asked Questions page to help […]
Rocky Patel Summer Collection 2009
One more day guys…one more day and its Friday and the start to another weekend. I’m in my Thursday spot reviewing the newest addition to the Rocky Patel Seasonal Collection in the Summer Collection 2009.

Siglo Limited Reserve IV
I’ve had the the same conversation several times in the cigar shop recently. It starts of with someone asking me if I’ve tried that new Siglo cigar Altadis came out with.

Esencia 2008 (Short Ashes)
A little while back Jerry, Brian, and I were fortunate enough to get some Esencia samples in the mail. None of us had the opportunity to try them in Las Vegas during IPCPR and were eager to see what all the hype was about. Shortly after receiving our packages, Jerry and Brian got together to […]
Nestor Miranda 20th Anniversary Danno Habano Oscuro
I’ll admit it, I’m a little behind the times with this one. But there’s a good reason that, it has to do with my review preparations. In an attempt to be give every cigar a chance to perform at its best, or at least minimize the impact of elements beyond my control, I give all […]
Nosotros by Illusione
Lets see if I can get this right this time around without…you know…infringing on someone’s copyright or privileged working documents and all. I’m sure I’m on some Secret Service watchlist already, I don’t need to be on some publications watch list too. LOL. For some time on Twitter, Dion Giolito (maker of Illusione, Cruzado and […]
