A disclaimer to begin with. When I refer to “we” I am referring to us here at Stogie Review. We are not trying to speak for all cigar media outlets. We are just speaking for ourselves. We believe each cigar media outlet should be judged on their own individual merit, street cred and not be […]
Sancho Panza Double Maduro
It is kind of funny that with IPCPR on the horizon and my last Week in Smoke mainly containing new releases that I turn to the Sancho Panza Double Maduro. With Walt recently reviewing the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte I thought this would compliment his review. Plus, with us trying to get back to basics […]
Nat Sherman 1930 (Short Ashes)
A few weeks ago I received a surprise email from the folks over at Nat Sherman. They asked if I would be interested in trying their Nat Sherman 1930 and possibly putting together a review. Times are tough and I’m in no position to turn down cigars, so I gratefully accepted. A short time later […]
Macanudo 1968 (Short Ashes)
Over the weekend I found myself in a particularly good mood and inspiration to record a cigar review struck. I cracked open my coolidor with the intention of digging around for something interesting. Before I could move a single cigar, I spotted a Macanudo 1968 perched on the top of the pile. Prior to the […]
Sindicato Affinity
CIGAR Today I am taking a look at the Sindicato Affinty cigar. This will be the third out of four cigars they produce so you may see the fourth in the near future. This is the toro size which is 6×54. A lot of nutty taste to start off with this Sindicato Affinity and a […]
Azul Vintage 2008 (First Impressions)
Several weeks back I got an awesome care package from Jerry Cruz. Inside the package was a number of cigars I hadn’t had the pleasure of smoking yet. One of them was the Azul Vintage 2008 from Epicurean Cigars – Distributed by House of Emilio. Lighting up the Azul Vintage 2008, I really didn’t know […]
EPC Cardinal Maduro
What do you do when you suddenly find yourself awake at 3:30am and are unable to get back to sleep? Well, you could roll out of bed, make yourself a cup off coffee, grab a EPC Cardinal Maduro, and take advantage of the deep, sultry, morning voice while recording a cigar review. The back-story as […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 52
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]
Ben’s Week in Smoke No. 4 – The Bayou Edition
It’s been awhile since I’ve done one these so I figured this would be a great time to do one as our temps have been in the 90s locally. As the heats rises, I find myself smoking less and less full bodied cigars as the can be a bit over powering. Same goes for my […]
Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro
Earlier this week I posted a review of the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte and the comments on that review were inspiring. As I read through them, while smoking a Drew Estate Undercrown Gran Toro, I got the sudden urge to fire up my video camera. At first I didn’t want to do the review, mostly […]
