When The Great Torpedo asked Walt and I to cover for him this week, I decided it was high time for another video adventure. But instead of a cigar review, I have something a little different. This past weekend the folks from Fuentes Crucet came to town, and this time, Desiree and Jeyson brought their […]
Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold (Short Ashes)
Jerry wasn’t feeling 100% this week so he asked if Brian or Myself could cover for him today while he recuperates. Rather than a standard Short Ashes review, I played the role of Ghost of Stogie Future as Jerry and I both take a look at the Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 Gold. The review runs […]
Dona Flor (Short Ashes)
Once upon a time, Stogie Review was contacted by a rep for Cigars of Brazil. This rep was a nice guy and offered to send all three of us a couple of sample products to do a review on. Brian (Tipton), Jerry, and I each did a review of one of the three cigars sent […]

Hoyo De Tradicion Toro
This past weekend I was kicking back and enjoying the atmosphere at a cigar-event-turned-herf when one of the guys turned to me and said, “you know what cigar I really enjoy? The Hoyo de Tradicion. When are you guys going to get around to reviewing it?” I was a little surprised at the question. As […]
Petite Tatuaje
Not sure how many “small cigar” reviews we’ve done on The Stogie Review. While I’ve tried a few of the small cigars out there, I’m normally not a fan. My experience has always been less than noteworthy. They always seem to burn too hot and too harsh for my liking. When I bought a cab […]
El Rey de los Habanos
The worst part of vacation is the part where you realize that the week has gone by too fast and you’re on a flight back home. Orlando was great! Got to visit Magic Kingdom and Epcot for the first time and got to hangout with a few cigar peeps. While I was in Orlando I […]
