“A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.”
- George Sand, 1867

Hi and thank you for checking out the Stogie Review. My name is Jerry and I’m from Germantown MD where I live with my wonderful wife. I’ve been a cigar enthusiast since 1996 and average around 2-3 cigars a day. Early on, I started enjoying mostly full bodied cigars. As my palette has matured over the years, I’ve come to appreciate the soft qualities found in your mild-medium bodied cigars. I still love my full bodied cigars every now and then, but I’d say, 8/10 cigars are mostly mild-medium bodied.

You can see My Humidor but my go to cigars (cigars that my humidor is never without) not in any particular order:

* Montecristo White Label

* Punch Rare Corojo
* La Escepcion
* Partagas Black Label
* Maria Mancini

- John Galsworthy

Hello, and thank you for visiting our little spot on the web. My name is Walt and I live in the Reading area of Pennsylvania.

I’ve been enjoying cigars for only a short time, early 2005.

I started smoking cigars due to a friend. He inherited several hundred cigars from an enthusiast and was not sure what he was going to do with them all. He offered me some cigars to try, at which point I immediately took a liking to them.

I currently smoke a wide array of cigars trying to fulfill my quest to find that one cigar that is a perfect fit for me. Its been a very interesting journey so far and I am pleased to share my experiences with anyone reading this little blurb.

I only have a couple cigars I consider go to sticks and those would be:

* Oliva Serie V Lancero
* Oliva Serie G Maduro Belicoso
* Perdomo Reserve Champaigne

Hi everyone, I’m the latest edition to the cigar review staff at The Stogie Review. I’m an Oregonian that’s been transplanted into the rich cigar culture of Atlanta, GA. I’ve been smoking cigars since a buddy and I used to drive out to the Oregon coast in the middle of the night during college. (Back in 1997, give or take a year). I started reviewing cigars on my own blog (Brian’s Random Thoughts) in early 2007 and it quickly became an obsession. After getting some compromising pictures of the Stogie Review founders, I was welcomed aboard as a permanent reviewer here.

I don’t have a preference when it comes to body in a cigar, so long as the flavors are interesting and enjoyable. That and as long as it has a good draw. I’ve been smoking all sorts of cigars (even ACID’s occasionally), and have found that whatever is up for review usually determines what I’m smoking.

My current favorite smokes:

* Arganese Maduro Figurado and Chairman Double Wrap
* Oliva Serie V
* La Flor Dominicana Cameroon Cabinet
* H. Upmann Cabinet Seleccion
* Rocky Patel Vintages 1990 & 1992
* Winston Churchill Chequers
