Current Contest:
Check out Brian's review of the Gran Habano Azteca for details on how to win Cigars and Swag.
Contest: Win a $30.00 Gift Certificate to Fumee
While the month of May has come to a close, we have the month of June upon us for yet another contest. This time around the prize is a $30.00 Gift Certificate to Fumee World.
In addition to the prize, Fumee has extended a 20% discount for all Stogie Review readers which runs until the end of June. Simply enter SR2008 upon checkout and enjoy the savings.
If your not familiar with Fumee, you may remember Heather’s multiple guest spots on Dog Watch Cigar Radio as well as her No on Prop 86 Campaign in California. Back in October we informed everyone of the Fumee Grand Opening and since then Heather and partner Ralph have been working hard to expand the business.
To enter this months contest all you have to do is leave a comment on this article telling us your three favorite everyday cigars. I’d love to know what everyone enjoys on a semi regular basis, so please post away.
A winner will be selected at random and announced in early July. Participants must reside in the Continental US. One entry per person
Good luck and happy smoking.

Not trying to enter twice, but the though occurred to me: I’d like to see another one of these “What’s your favorite every day cigar” surveys where replies were limited to cigars you’ve smoked at least 100 sticks, for at least a year, and cost < $3/stick. Now we’re talking your solid, dependable, everyday cigar.

Just to add Current favorite cigar:
Don Pepin Garcia JJ White Belicoso
I will smoke at least one of these three cigars daily usually with my morning coffee. I rotate the Tatuaje with the Padron and when I have less time I go for the Special G. It used to be those astral short perfectos in maduro, I loved those things esp. the price, since they have gone I upgraded to the Oliva. So far it is the cheapest maduro small perfecto on the market right now.
If anyone knows where to get the Astral’s still or have a recommendation on another short Perfecto. (doesn’t have to be maduro but its a preference) I would love to hear it. thanks.
