Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 121

I hope this holiday season finds you safe, happy, and acceptably overfed with a fine cigar in your hand and several more waiting in your humidor.  Either that, or an active imagination that can fill in the gaps.  We all have gaps that need filling in.  You know, I think I’m going to stop right […]

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 106

This time of year can be a lot of fun, but it doesn’t always afford me many opportunities to enjoy a fine cigar. Or a lot of time to write about (or video) the cigars I do get to enjoy. But I did my best to shoehorn in as many as I could. The silver […]

IPCPR 2016: Crowned Heads

Crowned Heads really did well this year in terms of booth placement. They were very close to the main entrance, just a little off to one side. It was convenient for us, as we inevitably walked past them at least twice a day. Which means I probably said “we gotta go talk to Jon” half […]

Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 91

You’ve probably noticed that Stogie Review has been a little quiet since all the IPCPR 2015 interviews went live. Believe it or not, we’re not taking a break, nor are we throwing in the towel. Shortly after returning from the trade show we learned that our current video host, Blip, will be shutting down on […]

Week in Smoke – Bayou Edition No. 9

I’ve been working all week on getting my Top 10 Cigars of the Year list ready, but its not easy. I thought I had an idea of what my 10 favorites were, but as I looked through my Facebook pictures and talked to my cigar buddies, I realized it wasn’t going to be as easy […]
