Once upon a time I was a pretty big deal on Stogie Review. I would routinely sit down in my office, fire up my camcorder, and record detailed cigar reviews that went on for upwards of 30 minutes. It wasn’t everyone’s thing but I had a following and they enjoyed the format. As time went […]
Arturo Fuente Don Carlos Eye of the Shark
Well, the holiday season is upon us. Even if it isn’t technically a holiday yet, it feels like one. So I decided to light up something nice this afternoon. Truth be told, I’ve been sneaking in Don Carlos Eye of the Sharks since they hit the shops a few weeks ago. I didn’t secure all […]
VIP Opening Reception of Davidoff of Geneva Atlanta
A couple of weeks ago I attended the VIP Opening Reception of Davidoff of Geneva Atlanta. The new flagship store had actually opened a few months prior (August 24th), but time has flown by this year, and I wasn’t able to check the place out until the reception. That’s probably for the best, it gave […]
A Walk with my Wife and a Hererra Esteli
Last week my wife and I celebrated 8 years of marriage. Our plan was to have our daughter spend a night or two with her grandparents while we went away. Nothing fancy, just a night or two at a bed and breakfast about an hour away. We both filed the necessary requests with our employers […]

This special released is blended with special tobacco that Quesada had been sitting on for a special project. The tobacco used in this cigar is from 1997 when Manuel Quesada Sr. […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 94
It’s shaping up to be a fun week. I don’t really mean that, I have a chest cold which was probably exacerbated by a very good weekend. So that means a taking a break from cigars for a few days. I know, I hate it too. The good news is I think I have enough […]
Tatuaje Monster Series The Hyde
The spooky season is upon us, and I just happened to pick up a few of this year’s Tatuaje Monster Series The Hyde. Now ordinarily, I’d set these rarities to the side in the humidor and light one up in about a month (or three), but I thought it’d be fun to light one up […]
