In this very special episode of Herfin’ Heads Ben does not confront a high school bully, while Brian also does not learn a thing or two from a hard-nosed Driver’s Ed teacher. Instead Ben and Brian journey once again into the realm of cigar reviews to discuss the L’Atelier Extension de la Racine ER13. Along […]
Vindicator by Oliva
Back in 2012, Famous Smoke Shop began to promote a new line of Oliva Produced House Blends. Brian and I were fortunate enough to get a few samples and we set out to record a couple of episodes of Herfin’ Heads. We reviewed both the Inferno and Vindicator favorably and I’ve been smoking them, off and on, ever since.
Inferno by Oliva
Have you ever found yourself shopping for cigars online and suddenly skeptical? Your mouse hovers over the “add to cart” button and you just don’t know if your should click. The cigar looks pretty plain, the price is low, but it is made by a manufacturer with a solid reputation. Will this just be another […]
Curivari Achilles Eternos
In 2013, Curivari introduced the Achilles as a stronger line to its already impressive line up of cigars.

Miami Cigar Nestor Miranda Special Selection Exclusivo Regional Robusto Extra
Ever since Miami Cigar introduced the Nestor Miranda Special Selection, I’ve been a big fan. The cigars are well made with great flavors for a good price. My favorite of the line has been the Coffee Break which is their petit corona. It had a lots of flavor in a small package. They had a […]
Fratello Robusto
At this point visiters to Stogie Review will undoubtedly recognize the Fratello, with its distinctive slanted red band and bold lettering. It’s been a staple of Jerry’s humidor and made it into his top 10 list for 2013, as well as quickly becoming a well established brand with cigar smokers on social media. And I […]
Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial (2013 Release)
In 2008 Oliva expanded on its wildly popular Serie V Liga Especial. The Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial was born and it took Maduro Guys, such as myself, by storm. Cigars were only available in one size (A Torpedo at the time) and came in 10 Count Boxes. Production was limited and most shops in […]
