Camacho Connecticut

Something new and definitely exciting for you this week. The Camacho Connecticut represents the first Connecticut wrapped cigar that Camacho has produced. Available in six sizes including the ever popular 11/18 size.

I have to tell you…I can’t put the Camacho Connecticut down. Its so legit. The Camacho Connecticut wins you over with is elegant smoothness and its winning flavor profile of woodsy, creamy, nutty and a toned down version of that familiar Camacho spice. All wrapped within…

Fuente Fuente Opus X (Short Ashes)

As the nigh began to wind down, I found myself a little pressed for time when it came to getting a short ashes review recorded for the weekend. I popped open my cooler and began to dig through the mess of bags to find the right cigar for the evening. I did more looking than selecting and found that I wasted a half hour and made no progress.

As I stood over my cooler asking myself “what do I have…

Rocky Patel Fusion (Guest Review)

This review comes courtesy of our good friend Nathan.
You may remember Nate from the American Front Porch, Porchcast.

The Setting:
Morning on a Saturday. It’s a balmy 80 degrees on the Porch, with a slight breeze. All in all a good day to enjoy a cigar, and today I chose the Rocky Patel Fusion. Birds are chirping, trees are gently swaying, and a fresh rain has fallen. It’s a day that just says “chill.”

I must…

Illusione ~mj12~

Dion Giolito has been a busy man. I don’t have an official count of all his new cigar offerings, but I know it’s around half a dozen if you count each of the Epernay vitolas. The cigar up for review today, the mj12, is one of those new offerings. In fact, I believe it’s the latest to hit the shop shelves.

The official word, confirmed by Dion on Twitter is that the mj12 is actually a…

National Nestor Miranda Cigar Day

While the holiday weekend was getting into full swing, I had an email hit my inbox that I thought was very interesting. Unlike many of the press releases that we receive at the Stogie Review, this one came with the chance for our readers to score a free cigar.

It seems that Miami Cigar Company wants to celebrate their 20th anniversary with a bang. On June 12, 2009, Miami Cigar is declaring it “National Nestor Miranda Cigar Day”. On…

Punch Rare Corojo (2009)

First and foremost, I hope everyone is enjoying their Memorial Day weekend. I hope along with your steak, ribs, burgers, hot dogs and endless cigars, you set aside a few moments and thank all those who have served and made the ultimate sacrifice. We’re a melting pot of people and we don’t agree on much, but the one thing we can all agree on is that we can never repay the debt that is owed to those who have…

La Flor Dominicana Salomon

Really need to thank my boy @ChiefHava for sending me the Salomon by La Flor Dominicana. Hopefully @ChiefHava gets back from Panama soon so we can resume our perpetual trading.

I was hesitant to smoke the Salomon. Most of Litto Gomez’s creations are known for their power and I’ve had some out of body experiences smoking his Chisel and his Coronado lines in the past. Looking at the sexy wrapper and the shear size of the LFD…

Rocky Patel Ocean Club

Man, and you guys thought I reviewed too many Pete Johnson creations! How about the Rocky Patel kick I’ve been on? Up to bat this Memorial Day weekend is the Rocky Patel Ocean Club. Those of you who follow my exploits over at My Daily Cigar, you got a preview of the Ocean Club while I was vacationing in Philadelphia the past week.

The Rocky Patel Ocean Club is a Holts Cigar Company exclusive so you will…

J. Fuego Delirium – Minuto (Short Ashes)

A couple of weeks ago I stopped into my local shop, just like I do every Friday, and came across some new stock. It seems that before Cigarfest got underway, Jesus Fuego was making the rounds to some of the shops in PA. While visiting my local shop, the owner sampled a few cigars and had a chance to speak with Jesus. In the end, the J. Fuego Delirium and 777 were added to the shops arsenal.

It…
