Once again, the season of lists is upon us. And in keeping with tradition, we err on the side of caution when it comes to creating our list of the top 10 cigars for the year. The goal is to publish after we’re certain the old year is completely dead, but just before people get […]
Top 10 Cigars of 2017
It’s list making season and it’s about time we posted one for Stogie Review. Due to some scheduling difficulties, we’re a little later posting it this year than we planned. But better late than never, right? This year we went with a different approach, abandoning separate lists and opting instead for a single, official Stogie […]
The Box-Worthies: Brian’s Top 10 Cigars of 2016
2017 is here, and just when you think it you’re safe from 2016, up pops my list of the top 10 cigars of 2016. I hope the sudden shock and inevitable controversy that follows is not too taxing on your health. Remember, breath deeply and evenly when you’re yelling at me over the internet. Stress, […]
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 […]
The Box-Worthies: Brian’s Top 10 Cigars of 2015
This is the part where I whine about how hard it is to pick ten cigars I smoked in 2015, rank them and declare them the box-worthiest of all cigars to be box-worthy in that year. The truth is, this year’s list seemed easier to compile. I quickly put together a pool or 25 or […]

Congratulations to the winner! If I get no response from the winner, I will move down the list until someone […]
Brian’s The Week In Smoke, Issue 42
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), […]
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of 2013
Ben’s Top 10 Cigars of 2013 It’s that time of that year where we put out our top cigars of the year. It always hard to try to put our favorite cigars together for a top ten list. There are so many really good cigars that it makes it hard to pick just 10 and […]
The Box-Worthies: Brian’s Top 10 Cigars of 2013
With 2013 now safely behind us it’s time for a top ten cigar list for 2013. I know what you’re thinking, “Top ten cigars? Whatever can that be?” Here’s how it works: What follows is a list of cigars that I most enjoyed smoking in 2013. I’ve numbered them for your convenience, but get this- […]
The Box-Worthies: Brian’s Top 10 Cigars of 2012
Making a top ten list is never an easy task, but I think it’s a worthwhile exercise to revisit the year, and spend some time thinking about its finer moments. I gave some thought to changing the way I do my top ten this year, like limiting it to only new releases. But then it […]
