I was browsing the Fan forum just the other day when a couple of reviews caught my eye. Solid is a regular poster on the Fan Forums and has commented here on the front page numerous times as well. After reading his thoughts on a few cigars I thought those that do not visit the […]
H. Upmann Cabinet Selección Robusto
I picked up a couple of these guys after a local tobacconist told me these were kind of hard to come by. As the story goes, not every shop can get their hands on these cigars, and as a condition of getting them as a shop owner, you can’t advertise that you have them. It […]

Shipping Cigars
One of the common questions we receive here at Stogie Review is “I have some cigars I would like to ship to someone, how should I go about it?” With that being said I thought I would do a mini shipping how-to. I prefer to ship cigars as follows.
Alec Bradley Trilogy Authentic Corojo
Wow, this week was a bit of a challenge, and I’m just talking about picking the cigar to review! Every time I had set my mind on a cigar to review, I found Walt and Jerry had already covered it. Sometimes twice! Of course, strictly speaking we don’t have a policy here about never reviewing […]

Site Update 11/30/07
Virtual Skype Herf: Not too long ago I posted on the Fan Forum in regards to a possible Skype Herf and wanted to get an idea on interest. It seems like the idea went over well and we are going to try and give it a shot. The idea is to have a virtual herf […]
CAO Italia Ciao
