Baccarat The Game Dominican Rothschild

Up for review this week is a new cigar that seems to be flying under most people’s radar, the Baccarat “The Game” Dominican. Since Camacho announced the arrival of this addition to the Baccarat line at the end of July, I have heard next to nothing about it. In fact, the only people that seemed to be talking about the cigar where shop owners who were excited about the prospect of an unsweetened Baccarat cigar.

It seems that excitement hasn’t …

Ask The Readers: Does our definition of Full Bodied need an overhaul?

A couple of weeks ago, a few of us Twitter using, Pennsylvania cigar smokers were toying with the idea of getting together for a cigar. With a drive of about two hours separating all of us, we decided to meet in the middle and get together at an Oliva event being held at Olde World Tobacco.

When that day came, I met up with my father and we drove out to meet up with, Mike (Knightrid), Paul …

To enter the contest, …

Warped Private Blend Belicoso

This week I’ve decided to give the IPCPR goodie bag a rest, and go with another cigar from the Warped Cigars portfolio, the Private Blend. Since the favorable experience I had with the Anubis Maduro Corona Gorda earlier this year, I’ve been looking forward to trying one of their other lines. (You can also check out a guest review of the Abydos here.)

This time around I have a little more information about the cigar I’m reviewing. Here’s an …

Stogie Review Gets A New Look

As you may have noticed, Stogie Review has been given a new look. Over the past several months Jerry, Brian, and I have made passing mentions on how we needed to freshen things up and make the site cleaner and more organized.

Wanting to get away from the norm, we started looking at premium WordPress themes that would fit a cigar site such as ours. We found a variety of fantastic designs, but nothing that felt like it fit the …
