This morning I woke up to a variety of alerts on my phone. The first one I read was in reference to a review of a Swisher Electronic Cigar on Stogie Review. While I’m a firm believer in a united cigar smoking community, I struggled with the concept of such a product being reviewed here. […]

La Duena Petit Lancero
What do you get when you sit down and record a cigar review much earlier than usual? If this review is any indication, you forget to finalize it and wind up with a review that is almost a day late! Thats alright though, better late that never, eh? Last week I revisited the Cabaiguan Guapos […]
Cabaiguan (Short Ashes)
Early this week Jerry was kind enough to send me a package of cigars to enjoy. I wasted no time in turning them to smoke and ash. Suddenly it dawned on me, perhaps I should turn some of these sticks into ‘Short Ashes’ Cigar Reviews and revisit some of the smokes we have reviewed in […]
My Uzi Weighs A Ton – Bait Fish (first impressions)

In my day job, I work a lot with statistics. Over the past year, Gary Griffith from Emilio Cigars has brought six independent boutique cigar brands into his distribution network (in addition to his own lines). If my calculations are correct, and assuming the expansion continues at an exponential rate, by 2016 EVERY cigar brand […]
E Cigars by BOTL LLC [Esencia] (first impressions)
With limited time again this week, I figured I should look for something interesting to serve as the subject for a first impressions video review. As I was digging through my remaining samples from this summer’s IPCPR, I recalled the glowing praise offered by our own Walt White and also our friend Craig Vanderslice from […]
