All of my recent posts these last few weeks have been late, but each time I’ve had a legitimate excuse (not that it really matters). This week was no different: my in-laws were visiting this past weekend, and I had to fly out to the Midwest on Monday for a family event. However, this trip […]
Vegas Robaina Famosos (Guest Review)
This Guest Review comes courtesy of Michael Thorne as his Day 3 Entry for the 3rd Annual Stogie Review 12 Days of Christmas This will be my first attempt at any type of review as I prefer to read others submissions. I tried to select a cigar from my humidor that had not been reviewed […]

Liga Privada No. 9 (Guest Review)
This guest review comes from our good friend Rich Meade via the Stogie Review Fan Forums Today I’m doing the Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate. Drew Estate is synonymous with infused cigars.
