And our IPCPR 2016 coverage is complete. It took us a little longer to get everything posted, due in large part to our decision to switch our gear and software out all at once. But it all worked out in the end. We didn’t talk to everyone we wanted to interview, but we never do. […]

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 […]
Camacho American Barrel Aged Toro
This week I decided to check out a cigar I think every bourbon fan will find interesting, the Camacho American Barrel Aged Toro. As the name implies, a portion of the tobacco in the blend (the corojo) spent some time in bourbon barrels- 5 months to be exact. And that’s after it spent 6 previous […]

Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 12

The Box-Worthies: Brian’s Top 10 Cigars of 2014
Now that we’re all safe from 2014, but not completely comfortable writing (or typing) 2015, it’s time for my annual top ten list. As I’ve said numerous times over the past year, it isn’t good enough for a cigar to just be good anymore, it has be to excellent to really make a go of […]
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of 2014 – Contest!
Every year, we try to come up with our individual Top 10 Cigars of the Year which is quite a task. There are so many really good cigars out there, its hard to choose only 10. At Stogie Review, we do it a little different in where we choose the top 10 cigars we smoked […]
