You may have noticed I’ve been a little quiet since The IPCPR 2017 Complete Digest posted a few weeks back. Sadly, I haven’t been on vacation, well, I was for the last week. It’s that time of year, and I caught whatever crud du jour that was going around. I don’t know for sure, but […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 110
It’s once time again for another issue of Brian’s The Week In Smoke. In case this is your first Week in Smoke, be advised that it covers many (though not necessarily all) of the cigars I’ve smoked in the past week (or the past month, or however long it has been since the last issue), […]

IPCPR 2016: Complete Digest
And our IPCPR 2016 coverage is complete. It took us a little longer to get everything posted, due in large part to our decision to switch our gear and software out all at once. But it all worked out in the end. We didn’t talk to everyone we wanted to interview, but we never do. […]
IPCPR 2016: Perdomo
We caught up with Chris Harper in the spacious Perdomo booth the last day of IPCPR and we learned that everything old is new again. By that I mean, Perdomo is bringing back all of their pre-2007 brands, though some of them may have some packaging updates. That means the reintroduction of a lot of […]

Ben’s Week In Smoke – Bayou Edition Lucky No. 13
It has been awhile since I’ve done a Week In Smoke, so I figured it was due to get one out. I traveled to Houston, TX this past weekend to visit my wife who is working there on a temporary assignment. I usually travel there to visit her with my mom and my son, but […]
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 […]
IPCPR 2015: Perdomo
We dropped by the Perdomo booth at IPCPR 2015 to speak with Nick Perdomo, and found him looking surprisingly youthful. Actually, we spoke to his son, Nick Perdomo III, and gave us the scoop on the latest Perdomo developments. In this video we cover some shiny packaging updates and blend tweaks to the Perdomo Habano […]
Get Your Booger Hooker Off The Bang Switch
About seven or eight years ago I had my first experience with guns. It turned out to be a lot of fun and ultimately lead me down the rabbit hole. I went from shooting a gun for fun to buying my first gun, to getting licensed to carry, to shooting competitively, and so on and […]
