This Perdomo Lot 23 Robusto was a gift from the guys over at Dogwatch Social Club and was enjoyed during a herfcast for episode #80. While the wrapper was very smooth and without any large veins, it had a slightly rugged appearance but felt very good between the fingers. Very nice double cap that cut […]
K. Hansotia – Ancient Warrior
A few nights ago I was sitting in my basement trying to write my final speech for my Public Speaking class. As the term comes to a close at school I find myself getting stressed out due to the workload of night classes in addition to the normal forty hour work week. Now, more so […]
How to build a Coolidor
As a cigar smoker I am sure you have had the same conversations that I have in regards to humidor size. The most common advice given when a person is in the market for a humidor is “buy bigger than you need. This is very good advice as long as the size you are looking […]
AVO Maduro
I grabbed a handful of these a week ago during a visit to a new B&M I found (don’t you just love finding a new B&M). I picked up a few #9s and a couple of #2s for when I’ve got more time. This review will be for the #9 which is 4.75×48. Upon removing […]

It’s nice to have friends. It’s even better to have friends who age cigars and are generous enough to share them. For those of you who didn’t know, Walt & I belong to a small gaming clan called High Plains Strike Force (hpsf.org). We’re a group of gamers who play games like the Battlefield series […]

If you read the Curly Head review I ended that review with the Fuente name being an easy and popular name for the beginner to walk into any B&M and that tobacconist being able to recognize the Fuente name and suggestion the next step. Its always a great feeling to plant the seed of the […]
Arturo Fuente Curly Head (Natural)
Back in July my cohort Walt reviewed the Fuente Curly Head Deluxe Maduro. At the time I didn’t realize there were two kinds of Curly Heads. The Deluxe that received a pretty poor review from Walt and the cigar I bring you today, the Curly Head (Natural). This is a great change of pace thats […]
Dog Watch Social Club Contest
I wish I could promise to be able to provide a free box of cigars every month for the DWSC to give away but we’re like all of you, thats right…working for “the man”. So consider this offer a special treat. The Stogie Review has gifted the DWSC with a box (24) of Carlos Torano […]
Carlos Torano Signature
I picked up a five pack of Robustos on a whim from cbid just over a month ago. I had heard good things about the Torano line and I generally like maduro wrappers, so these looked like a winner on paper. They do not disappoint. This Robusto weighs in at 5 x 52 with a […]
