Jon Huber of Crowned Heads graciously stepped aside for a few minutes on the busy first day of the trade show to talk to us about they brought to IPCPR this year. In this video we cover La Imperiosa, Jericho Hill Jack Brown, the next Mason Dixon Project.
IPCPR 2015: 262 Cigars
To get Stogie Review’s video coverage of the IPCPR 2015 trade show, we begin with Clint Aaron of 262 cigars. And not just because 262 appears at the top of the list when you sort alphabetically. It’s because he’s still out there trying to convert the world to lanceros, and he’s so chipper about it. […]
La Palina Black Label Robusto
La Palina introduced the Black Label line at this years IPCPR in Las Vegas. This new cigar line was made to compliment the other already successful lines by La Palina by being more full bodied than the others. This cigar uses a unique wrapper that I haven’t run across before along with Dominican and Nicaraguan […]

They have two locations, one at 829 State Street, Lemoyne, Pennsylvania and the other at 239 West Chocolate Ave, Hershey, Pennsylvania (Chocolatetown USA!!!) with the Lemoyne store being their flagship. Some of you […]
Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 2
Its been a crazy week for me. My son has been really sick so I haven’t had much time to smoke many cigars, not to mention to record any reviews. I was able to get in a few cigars in between taking care of him, working and honey do task. Here are a few of […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 29
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. This edition covers both cigars I had prior to IPCPR 2013, and a few I’ve had since. (Look for a more IPCPR-centric edition soon.) In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily […]
IPCPR 2013 Post Mortem
It’s been nearly a week since IPCPR 2013 ended, and I could help but reflect on the events of the show, good, bad and otherwise. Bad Boys of IPCPR It makes sense to start at the beginning. After answering questions about it all show, I started to regret making it public, but there was too […]
Charlie’s Month in Smoke, vol. 9 (IPCPR edition)
If you’re like me, you’re having trouble keeping track of all the new cigars launched at last month’s IPCPR annual trade show. It was my first time attending “the show,” and between the information overload from all the manufacturers and palate fatigue brought on by smoking 7-10 cigars each day, it was a bit overwhelming. […]
CAO Concert pre-release (plus giveaway)
First of all, a disclaimer: this review is based on samples received at the IPCPR trade show earlier this month. We typically don’t like to use show samples for cigar reviews, since they often see a lot of unusual travel to & from the show floor and aren’t always a perfect reflection of what eventually […]
Walt’s Week In Smoke – IPCPR Roundup
Leading up to and returning from IPCPR has been a whirlwind of activity. It has been tough to keep up with everything going on and try to smoke cigars for review. This has left me empty handed for a review this week. Instead, I thought I’d talk a little bit about some of the IPCPR […]
