I have a lot going on so I am giving you a first impressions review of the Drew Estates Undercrown Flying Pig. This cigar is only available in Holland and only 205 boxes of 12 were produced with 10 staying at Drew Estates and 195 going to Holland. Pricing is hard to say as the […]
Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate
In my Week in Smoke series I’ve been talking a lot about how great the Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate has been smoking. It came as a bit of a surprise that none of us here at Stogie Review have actually reviewed it (we did publish a guest review). So this isn’t some […]

Liga Privada Unico Serie L40 by Drew Estate

Undercrown by Drew Estate
Introduced at this year’s IPCPR Trade Show is the Undercrown by Drew Estate. Jonathan Drew gave us one of the most enthusiastic interviews we’ve ever had on the site and the Undercrown was one of my top cigars that really impressed me at the show. Its hard to believe no one has beat me to […]
Week in Smoke – TGT Edition
I’m switching things up and am going to start publishing my Week in Smoke on my Monday spot. With so much going on I like to devote as much of the weekend to family time (although as I type this I’m at W.Curtis Draper watching football). So my Thursday spot will now be my review […]
