Two weeks ago, Mike and I attended the 2013 Cigarnival by Famous Smoke Shop. Based on the stats from years past, we went into this event knowing full well that the most popular post, by far, was going to be the one where we show off the Women of Cigarnival. This year I handed that […]

Mike’s Cigarnival 2013 Diary
Welcome to this year’s little diary Walt and I do. Just some more of me blathering about Cigarnival, before and after. Sorry for the big honking nose. Slapped a macro/wide angle lens on the flip and I cant pick one or the other so it macros the wide angle, hence the huge boogie shooter. I […]

Women of the 2012 Famous Smoke Shop Cigarnival
Starting in 2009, Stogie Review has had the pleasure of covering the annual Famous Smoke Shop Festivities. It started out as the Cigar Expo and has transformed into the Famous Smoke Shop Cigarnival. The oddest thing about that coverage, especially since this is a male dominated website, is that the posts featuring the women of […]
