Ask The Readers: Choose Your Cigar Wisely

With something a little different in the works for this weeks review, I’m going to need to delay it for a couple of days. In its place, I thought it would be interesting to pose a situation for the readers of Stogie Review to respond to. Its sort of like our Daily Cigar Discussion on the forums, but this one will remain open.

Imagine if you will, you wake up at 7:00 AM on a beautiful Saturday morning. The…

Liga Privada No. 9 (Guest Review)

This guest review comes from our good friend
Rich Meade via the Stogie Review Fan Forums

Today I’m doing the Liga Privada No. 9 by Drew Estate.

This cigar was created for the President of Drew Estate, Steve Saka, During the creation of this cigar, 10 starting blends were…

La Aurora Escogidos

I got my hands on the first La Aurora Escogidos from a friend who worked for a time as a cigar rep for Miami Cigars, the U.S. distributor of La Aurora cigars. She told me she had something special for me, a cigar that’s exclusively available for people who tour the La Aurora factory in the Dominican Republic. It goes without saying I was intrigued. With a review in mind, I held onto that stick while I schemed to get…

Cigar Photos

A couple of weeks ago I picked up a new digital camera to help me along with the artistic photos that go along with my reviews. Being in a bit of a drought at the moment for post ideas, I’ve thought it would be cool to show off my progress as of late.

The photos below were taken with the idea of either posting on Stogie Review or on my Personal Blog.

Vegas Robaina

Video runs close to 20 minutes and my apologies for coughing in the video as I accidently swallowed some smoke. I did a bunch of small talk so after you watch the video be sure…

To Better Inform Cigar Consumers

Have you ever walked into a local shop or ordered a random cigar online and find that it was an excellent match for your personal taste? I know I have and I’m sure most of you have had the same thing happen. The next step for me was to look up the cigar online to learn a little about it. I like to know what the tobacco composition is, most of all, followed by some basic information on how the…
