Continuing on my Rocky Patel kick, I’m back this week with a review of the Rocky Patel Renaissance. Now if you were following my escapades in Orlando earlier in the month you will know that I had my first Renaissance while I was vacationing but lets see how the Renaissance holds up back here in […]
601 Maduro (Short Ashes)
With a little spare time in the morning, I searched through my cooler looking for a cigar to review this week. I came up empty handed in terms of a mild morning smoke, so I went with something that I could smoke in a short ashes format. Having met up with my local Miami Cigar […]
Maria Mancini Natural (Short Ashes)
On Sunday I was talking with Jerry via Twitter and got word that the weather in Maryland was no better than here in PA. As a result, Jerry didn’t think he was going to be able to pull off his Tuesday review. In order to cover him, I got to work on smoking a cigar […]
Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro
In my new spot here on Thursdays and thought I’d review the Cabaiguan Guapos Maduro. I loved the El Triunfador which is basically the same blend as the Cabaiguan Maduro just in a lancero size. For about 2/3 of the cigar, I was very satisfied and was looking forward to a stellar finish. Unfortunately something […]
Marco V Bronze Label The Dom
After a video-heavy week, I’d say we’re about due for another written review. Accordingly, I’ve slipped the flipcam into it’s case and grabbed the point-and-shoot to give you another textual cigar smoking experience. You may be looking at this review’s title thinking, “Marco V, hmm. Haven’t I read reviews on this stick already on a […]
Punch Rare Corojo 2009
Tom and Ed are back once again with another video review. This time the guys take a look at the 2009 release of the Punch rare Corojo.
Rocky Patel Rosado
Similar to my review on the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend the Rocky Patel Rosado is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke Shop. Again, in the interest of complete transparency I wanted to say that Famous Smoke Shop is an advertiser with The Stogie Review and we’re also good friends on […]
Illusione eccj
Brian and I get together for around 30 minutes one sunny day and talk cigars while reviewing the Illusione eccj.
Nub Gets New Rolling Tables
If you recall, last year I did a three part series on the birth of a rolling table, so I wont bore you with how the original two tables came to be. Several weeks ago I got a call from Sam Leccia, of Nub Cigar, asking me if I knew anyone that could make him […]
Rocky Patel Sun Grown
First, let me say, probably not the best video I’ve ever done. Wasn’t really happy with the way it turned out so no bells and whistles. Its been sometime since I originally review the Rocky Patel Sun Grown and labeled it as one of my “WOW” cigars. Two years later does it still live up […]
