Rocky Patel Cuban Blend (Maduro)
My review of the Rocky Patel Winter Collection (2009) a few weeks back has renewed my love of Rocky Patel cigars. During this lovefest I discovered that I’ve never reviewed the Rocky Patel Cuban Blend. Similar to the Honduran Classic, the Cuban Blend is a Famous Exclusive…meaning you can only get them at Famous Smoke […]
Cigar Shop Review: Lake Mary, FL – Corona Cigar Company
Last week I announced the Stogie Review Fan Forum Cigar Shop Reviews section, this week I’d like to feature one of those reviews as well as give you an update on how we are progressing. Since the initial launch of this new section, we have racked up 11 reviews and are off to a great […]
Camacho Corojo (Short Ashes)
For this weeks short ashes segment, I had planned on smoking the Camacho Candela to commemorate St. Patrick’s Day. Coincidentally, last week I reviewed the Alec Bradley Harvest Selection 1997 while Jerry had planned to review it as well, this week we had the opposite happen. Due to my never being able to top Jerry […]

Casa Royale Crown by Don Pepin Garcia (Guest Review)
This is the description of the cigar per Holt’s website: “This cigar shares a wrapper leaf with Tatuaje’s prized Black Label. It certainly isn’t Pepin’s strongest blend but what it lacks in punch it more than makes up for with a complex and dizzying blast of flavors ranging from spicy earth and cedar to creamy […]
Tatuaje Black Robusto
I would have loved to review a candela cigar this week in honor of St. Patrick’s Day, but sadly, I didn’t have much luck finding one in time. Call it luck of the Irish, Jerry saw to it that the need for a green cigar review was filled. Complete with a fiery red beard and […]
Camacho Candela
Okay so probably not the most serious review I’ve ever done. Just something funny I put together to get you through the day and in the mood to pound a few back after work. Video runs a little over 6:00 and I promise I’ll never do an Irish accent again. Long ashes…
Trilogy Authentic Corojo by Alec Bradley
Well since Walt stole my review last week..actually “stole” isn’t a fair way to describe it. Since Walt beat me to the punch in reviewing the Harvest Selection I turned my attention to the Authentic Corojo in the Trilogy line by Alec Bradley. I’m not familiar with Alec Bradley cigars. I do have a few […]
Cigar Shop Reviews
Last week I came across a thread in the Stogie Review Fan Forums, in the Site Suggestions area. The thread was created by one of our regulars, schedel, and suggested that we create a new board for cigar shop reviews. After talking with Jerry and Brian, we decided that it would make a great addition […]
