Since the high was 80° F here this afternoon, and I was invited to play for free, I headed out for a round of golf. The weather isn’t very Christmas-y but it’s great for golf. I brought along this 5 Vegas Gold Torpedo at 6×54. I didn’t want to get into anything too strong as […]
Arturo Fuente Chateau Fuente maduro
I enjoy the Arturo Fuente Rothschild maduro and since the Chateau Fuente shares so many characteristics I decided to pick one up. That combined with the fact one of my local shops actually has these priced $.50 cheaper than the Rothschilds made this one sure seem like a winner on paper. Both the Rothschild and […]
Gisbert Maduro
A couple of weeks ago, after finishing the first bargain cigar breakdown, I received a recommendation to try the Gisbert Maduro Toro. A few days later while at my favorite cigar shop I came across a box perched up on a high shelf. Inside I found about a half box, so I picked up a […]
Perdomo Reserve – Cameroon
Last week I had a stressful day at work. Throughout the day I kept thinking about what cigar I would light up once I got home to unwind. After thinking about cigars all day, my work day finally came to a close and I made my way home. Once I got in I started to […]

Padron Londres
A couple of weeks ago I came across a comment in the Bargain Cigar breakdown I posted, recommending I try a Padron Londres. Coincidentally I had some on the way from a purchase I made.
The Griffin’s XII (2006 Special Edition)
Wow! That’s what I have to say about this cigar from the Davidoff family. From construction to flavor to aroma, the 2006 Special Edition Griffin is an awesome stogie and is limited to only 7,000 boxes of 10 for $90.
La Vieja Habana Cameroon
I’m back again with another of the new La Vieja Habanas, a Rothschild Luxo Cameroon at 5 x 54. This was the last of the new wrappers I’ve sampled. I’m a big fan of the line and grabbed boxes of the originals the last couple of times that Famous put them on sale. With the […]
Rocky Patel Vintage 1999
This week Brian and I were honored to once again join Bob and Dale for their weekly Cigar Radio Herfcast. As always it was a pleasure to smoke a fine cigar among the company of our good friends at The Dog Watch Social Club.
Partagas Spanish Rosado
For those of you who have been reading the Stogie Review for awhile this stogie probably looks familiar. Back in July I originally reviewed this cigar but after recording our first episode with Bob & Dale at the Dogwatch Social Club our site crashed. While Walt was on top of keeping a backup of all […]
