Due to some travel that had me out of town since last week (seasoned with a bit of poor planning on my part), I don’t have a review ready for this week. As I made the long drive back from Miami on Tuesday, I was wondering what my fellow cigar smokers out there were lighting […]

YQMA & A Quick Thank You
I’m working on YQMA but I wanted to take a quick moment to thank the Stogie Review community…more like the Stogie Review family. Its been a tough year for me. It would’ve been a tougher year if it wasn’t for all of you. From the many condolences I received to the personal e-mails to keep […]

So you have a special day coming up, for this particular day there isn’t a doubt in your mind that a gift is in order. You’ve always wanted to get the gift of cigars from your significant other / kids / parents / fiends, but you knew that day was probably not coming anytime soon. […]
Ramon Allones Specially Selected
I think this is our first Cuban cigar here at The Stogie Review and our first review at a National Monument. Maybe I should travel all around DC and record a review at every historical monument so you get a cigar review and a tour of the Nation’s Capital. Anyway, this week I’m reviewing the […]
