This week I’m going to talk about something we don’t often talk about here on Stogie Review: humidors. Specifically the Adorini Matera Deluxe humidor which was provided for me to use and review, but first a little about humidors in general. Over the years my thoughts on humidors has evolved, much like my taste in […]
Crowned Heads The Angel’s Anvil TAA 2016
Next in our line of TAA exclusives is the Crowned Heads The Angel’s Anvil TAA 2016. This cigar is another one that is highly anticipated each year as Crowned Heads has been one of the hottest cigar companies in the market since their debut in 2011. This is the 3rd iteration of The Angel’s Anvil […]
Davidoff Yamasa Toro
Just before IPCPR, Davidoff has released a cigar that was 20 years in the making: Davidoff Yamasa. What makes this cigar so special is that it uses tobacco from a region in the Dominican Republic that is not known for growing tobacco and is actually has soil that isn’t great for growing it either. That […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 102
The time has really flown by the past couple of weeks, and for a good part of it I was smoking cigars and drinking unusual beers in the exotic and mysterious places like Alabama and Oregon. I was also a guest on a local radio show talking about beer. Everything else is hazy. Imagine me […]
2016 La Flor Dominicana TAA 48
2016 La Flor Dominicana TAA 48 For my next installment of the 2016 TAA line of cigars, I’m going to be reviewing the La Flor Dominicana TAA 48. I’m back at the Serious Cigars Clear Lake location smoking in their lounge again. The La Flor Dominicana is usually one of the more full bodied cigars […]
Tatuaje TAA 2016
Tatuaje TAA 2016 Lately, I’ve been smoking a lot of the limited releases from cigar companies for the Tobacconists’ Association of America or TAA. Only select shops can carry these cigars as they have to be a member of TAA. These limited releases are usually very good cigars, though hard to find. You can find […]
Celebrating With Cigars: Bringing Home a Baby Girl
Last week I decided to take advantage of a beautiful morning here in Southeast Pennsylvania. I sat down on my deck, lit up a Long Live the King by Caldwell Cigar Company, and listened to the birds chirp as I sipped my coffee. I wrote a quick review on the cigar and mentioned that my […]
H. Upmann Magnum 48 2009 Edicion Limitada
While in Belgium in October 2015 for the Royal Agio factory tour and InterTabac, we visited a Casa del Habano store in Antwerp. While there I picked up several regional exclusives and edicion limitada cigars. To my surprise, several of the earlier edicion limitada cigars were still available. Each year, Habanos SA releases edicion limitada […]
Holt’s Contest – Win a 5-pack of San Cristobal
Hello, no I am not dead (I don’t think I am anyway because I am not in a packed humidor with every cigar known to man for me to smoke for free – that is what happens when you die, right?). I know that makes some of you happy and others sad. Still sorting through […]
Long Live the King by Caldwell Cigar Company
Back in August, the crew from Sir Stogies piled into a van and began an epic journey across Southeast Pennsylvania visiting cigar shops. There were lots of laughs, plenty of drinks, and an abundance of cigars. I may be embellishing it a tad but it was a wonderful time. One of the shops we visited […]
