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 […]
26 Minutes with Pete Johnson

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 […]
Flor de Oliva Gold (Blind Tasting)
