Gurkha Class Regent Nepalese Warrior
Welcome to the second edition of Brian‘s video-challenged review on the Stogie Review. I know I promised to get on top of that video gear, but as you’ll quickly learn, I’m just a big liar.

Its Been Awhile
Wow! What an amazing past three weeks it has been! You go to sleep one night thinking you have a week before the new addition shows up and you wake up the next morning driving your wife to the hospital. I have to say that being a father is one of the most amazing feelings […]
