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: Complete Digest
With the IPCPR 2015 trade show safely behind us, all our videos posted and our various floor-walking aches and pains beginning to fade, it’s time to take a look at our coverage as a whole. I feel good about it. We hustled the good hustle, and only mispronounced a few names. (OK, almost every name. […]
IPCPR 2015: CLE
We finished off our tour of the CLE booth at IPCPR 2015 by talking to Gaby Eiroa about Eiroa, CLE and Patoro products. In this video she shows a teaser for the 20th Anniversary cigar named “First 20 Years” which is currently slated for March, the new CLE Signature and CLE Plus 2015. We also […]

Aging The Opus X: Do or Don’t?
A night or two ago I was smoking a well-aged Opus X Perfecxion No. 5. As is my custom, I spent a few minutes thinking about what I was tasting- grass, caramel, cedar, maybe a little white pepper. I also noticed it didn’t seem as robust a cigar as the last few Opus X’s I’ve […]
