El Primer Mundo Habano Criollo Maduro Torpedo

Recently a number of people have asked me about El Primer Mundo cigars. They’ve wondered if cigar company is still around. Cigar shops that carry El Primer Mundo cigars have been running pretty low on stock as of late and for a while, Sean Williams, the owner and a regular of numerous B&M’s in the Atlanta area had been pretty scarce. I had noticed all of this too and I was a little concerned that the tough economic times had…

Ask The Readers: What is a Premium Cigar?

If you have been into cigars for more than a couple of days, I’m sure you are familiar with the term Premium Cigar. This term gets thrown around alot in the industry and I thought it would be great to talk about it a little bit and see if everyone could help me refine my definition.

Just like I did with the article on Boutique cigars, I posted a daily discussion topic on the Stogie Review Fan…

Top 10 Cigars (2008)

Welcome to The Great Torpedo Edicion of Top 10 Cigars for 2008. In case you’ve been kidnapped by elves or in-laws and missed it, be sure to checkout Walt’s Top 10 and Brian’s Top 10. I was actually surprised that my list actually shares 3 cigars that are on Walt’s list. Really thought Brian and I would have more cigars in common but that just goes to show how far off in la la land Brian is. …

My Christmas Eve Tradition

Here I sit in front of my laptop on Christmas Day. As I type this, the clock reads 7:53 AM. I’ve already tore through my Christmas gifts, and my wife has done the same. While she is quickly wrapping up a desert to take to her parents house this evening, I’ve decided to take this brief moment to light a cigar and wish everyone a Merry Christmas.

Yesterday on the Stogie Review Fan Forums, I asked if anyone…

Brian’s Top 10 of 2008

I’m under the weather today, so I’m taking a page from Walt’s play book. I’m making my own top 10 list. Like Walt’s list, mine includes only cigars that I reviewed this year. Some of these cigars were new releases, but not all of them. In fact, I don’t even guarantee that these cigars were actually produced or even purchased in 2008. Confused yet? Good. Let’s count ‘em down.
