Rocky Patel Fusion (Guest Review)
This review comes courtesy of our good friend Nathan. You may remember Nate from the American Front Porch, Porchcast. The Setting: Morning on a Saturday. It’s a balmy 80 degrees on the Porch, with a slight breeze. All in all a good day to enjoy a cigar, and today I chose the Rocky Patel Fusion. […]
Illusione ~mj12~
Dion Giolito has been a busy man. I don’t have an official count of all his new cigar offerings, but I know it’s around half a dozen if you count each of the Epernay vitolas. The cigar up for review today, the mj12, is one of those new offerings. In fact, I believe it’s the […]
National Nestor Miranda Cigar Day
While the holiday weekend was getting into full swing, I had an email hit my inbox that I thought was very interesting. Unlike many of the press releases that we receive at the Stogie Review, this one came with the chance for our readers to score a free cigar. It seems that Miami Cigar Company […]
Punch Rare Corojo (2009)
First and foremost, I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. I hope along with your steak, ribs, burgers, hot dogs and endless cigars, you set aside a few moments and thank all those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. We’re a melting pot of people and we don’t agree on much, […]
La Flor Dominicana Salomon
Really need to thank my boy @ChiefHava for sending me the Salomon by La Flor Dominicana. Hopefully @ChiefHava gets back from Panama soon so we can resume our perpetual trading. I was hesitant to smoke the Salomon. Most of Litto Gomez’s creations are known for their power and I’ve had some out of body experiences […]
Rocky Patel Ocean Club
Man, and you guys thought I reviewed too many Pete Johnson creations! How about the Rocky Patel kick I’ve been on? Up to bat this Memorial Day weekend is the Rocky Patel Ocean Club. Those of you who follow my exploits over at My Daily Cigar, you got a preview of the Ocean Club while […]
J. Fuego Delirium – Minuto (Short Ashes)
A couple of weeks ago I stopped into my local shop, just like I do every Friday, and came across some new stock. It seems that before Cigarfest got underway, Jesus Fuego was making the rounds to some of the shops in PA. While visiting my local shop, the owner sampled a few cigars and […]
Mr. Punch’s Tax Relief Program
While cleaning up my inbox, I came across a press release that I meant to mention earlier. It seems that it must have gotten lost in the shuffle and I simply forgot about it. The press release was in regards to a free Punch Cigar. It seems that the folks over at General Cigar are […]
Vintage 1982 Cerdan Welles Revisited
I slacked off this week, I’ll admit it. Often I put off doing my cigar review homework until the last couple of days before the normal Wednesday time slot. This week Tuesday evening rolled around and I realized that not only had I not worked on it, I didn’t even know what cigar I was […]
