YQMA – Season 2 Premiere

We decided to kickoff Season 2 of Your Questions, My Answers on the fly after being guests on Stogie411. Its me, Brian and Walt shooting the shit and talking about random topics. We talk about IPCPR, Crowned Heads, other blogs, cigar events and Walt gets all fiery when we talk about Oliva/Nub/Studio Tabac all he was missing was a podium and a machette and he’d look like Dictator. Enjoy.

Perdomo Reserve Limited Cameroon Edition Petit Corona

Perdomo Reserve Limited Cameroon Edition Petit Corona

This week I continue to avoid the trendy big rings, instead checking out a brand new old Perdomo. Brand new in the sense that the Perdomo Reserve Limited Edition Petit Corona was introduced at this year’s IPCPR trade show, but old in the sense that this isn’t the first time we’ve seen the Perdomo Reserve Cameroon in this format. According to an old press release I found online, a slightly longer Petit Corona was introduced back in 2005. And …

Devil’s Weed Maduro

Devil’s Weed Maduro

Wrapper : Maduro
Binder : Dominican (guessing)
Filler : Dominican
Source : CigarBid

Today I have for you a look at the Devil’s Weed Maduro which is only available in one size, a chuchill (7.0″ x 50) from Cigar’s International.

If my memory serves me, the maduro was not out when the original Devil’s Weed was introduced and came about after CI bought them up.

Pre-Light

Starting out, this Devil’s Weed Maduro is pretty ugly. Big veins, …

Graycliff Chataeu Grand Cru (Humidor Diving)

Graycliff Chataeu Grand Cru (Humidor Diving)

Over the years I have managed to create a large collection of cigars. Much of my collection, if you want to call it that, is made up of pre-marriage, pre-mortgage, and pre-being-a-father purchases. I’ve always wanted to turn these cigars into content for Stogie Review but a lot of time has passed.

I came up with the concept of doing Humidor Diving videos. The idea being that I would wade through the mass of cigars and select something to feature …

Stogie Review visits the Stogie411 show

Thursday night was a great night when all of the guys from Stogie Review came on as guests on the Stogie411 show (Some came on a LOT later than others *cough* *Brian* *cough*). A lot of good information came out of it and tons of laughs. We had a great time.

Enjoy the show.

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

Week in Smoke – TGT Edition

Its great to be back to regular posts. IPCPR was fun and all but it was a bit draining encoding/uploading those videos so its great to be back with another episode of Week in Smoke. Lots of new cigars making their debut on Week in Smoke with a spattering of cigars making a repeat appearance. Some that I didn’t get, lots of pretty good but mostly some fantastic cigars. Some I smoked repeatedly and others I only smoked the one …

Tatuaje Black Label Petite Lancero

Tatuaje Black Label Petite Lancero

I’m back from IPCPR in Las Vegas (perhaps you noticed a mention of it or two in the past few weeks?) and it’s time to get back to doing what we do the other fifty-or-so weeks a year: reviewing cigars. But it’s a little too soon to break into the random samples I picked up at the show. In addition to the Vegas climate being about the worst there is for cigars, the sticks I shipped home took two weeks …

Tatuaje Series P – 2011 version

Tatuaje Series P – 2011 version

Wrapper : Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler : Nicaraguan Cuban Sandwich (long and medium filler)
Source : bought myself

After a brief hiatus due to the awesome IPCPR coverage I am back with a review of the new Tatuaje Series P in the toro size.

As many of you know, the Series P was reviewed before on Stogie Review by our own Jerry Cruz but we have an all new version that was released by Pete not too long ago.

This one …

IPCPR 2011 – TGT Impressions

Man, shooting and editing in HD takes a lot longer than it use. This was supposed to be published this morning but I had to figure out a way to get the video to a manageable size and not its 160GB behemoth that it started out as. Anyway, about 11 minutes of be babbling about IPCPR. A little more detail on who stood us up. Some will probably say that its classless to name names but whatever. I kept my …
