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 […]
Fuente Fuente Opus X
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 […]
Hemingway Short Story
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 […]

Carlos Torano Signature

Stogie Review adds another reviewer to the ranks.
Lately Jerry and I have been keeping an eye out for someone to help us with the site. Surprisingly enough, reviewing cigars and keeping things up to date on the site was more work than we originally anticipated. After speaking with Brian Tipton for a little while we decided he was the best fit and […]
Cohiba Extra Vigoroso
Here we go again folks! I’m doing a terrible job of staying on budget. I normally don’t smoke so many double digit priced stogies. I honestly don’t know what has gotten in to me. I’m definitely enjoying myself and I will enjoy it while it lasts. As soon as that credit card bill comes in […]
