IPCPR 2011: Casa Fernandez
For us here at Stogie Review it was a lot of firsts for this year’s IPCPR. A lot of manufacturers who we’ve never interviewed before stepped up and welcomed us into their booths.

Find out what Andre has up his sleeve in …

While yesterdays focus was on quick videos to let our fans see the convention center through the eyes of our lens, today was all about quality video footage. Those videos will be posted in …
Hanging with Willy Herrera
Willy Herrera was kind enough to take a break from the hectic Drew Estate booth to tell us what he’s up to these days.

Stogie Stein
One of the interesting things Brian and I discovered on the show floor was the Stogie Stein ashtray. We thought it was pretty unique…what do you think?
