I’ve decided to do something a little different this week. And different for me could mean just about anything, but in this case it means I’m resorting to a video review. My main reason for switching gears is because I just happened to drag my new video camera to a local Fuentes Crucet event to […]
Election Day Smoke
Due to some travel that had me out of town since last week (seasoned with a bit of poor planning on my part), I don’t have a review ready for this week. As I made the long drive back from Miami on Tuesday, I was wondering what my fellow cigar smokers out there were lighting […]
Gurkha Black Dragon Grand Especial
This cigar up for review this week is one I’ve been looking forward to trying for well over a year. Ever since the Houston RTDA in 2007, where I literally bumped into the cigar. I was walking along the skybridge to the convention center from the hotel across the street the first full day of […]
Vintage 1982 Cerdan Welles
It’s not everyday you get to smoke a cigar that’s nearly as old as you are. (OK, so I’m not quite that young, but hey, it’s not that far off!) So when we were offered the chance to review a cigar that was born in 1982, I jumped at the offer. The catch was that […]
El Rico Habano Maduro Torpedo
I’ve taken a break this week from reviewing new cigars to touch on one that comes heavily recommended by the Stogie Review fan forum‘s resident cigar poet and “Wife Chagrin Level” analyst, Ace. In the past, Ace and I have had a colorful history of differing opinions on a number of different smokes, most notably […]
Fuentes Crucet Habanero 87 Robusto
This cigar up for review this week is one I heard rumors about for weeks. As I made my rounds at the local shops, it seemed I was a few steps behind a new cigar rep that was introducing a cigar to the Atlanta market. The interesting thing is when I asked about it, people […]
Montecristo Vino Series Cabernet Robusto
Up for review this time around is a cigar that the guys at my local Tinderbox keep telling me I just have to try. Every time I’ve stopped in in the past month, one of the first things I hear is, did you try the new Montecristo Vino Series yet? So under a mountain of […]
Macanudo 1968 Robusto
Some time ago it was brought to our attention that we didn’t have a single Macanudo review on the Stogie Review. I was sure that couldn’t be right, given the popularity of the cigar with the market at large. But as I reviewed our cigar review index, there was not a Macanudo to be found. […]
Equus Limited Ligero Cameroon Gordo
Quite possibly the single most popular review on the Stogie Review website is Jerry’s notorious Equus Limited Ligero video review from a about a year an a half ago. (If you haven’t seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out now, it’ll help set the stage for this review.) To say Jerry […]
Habanos Puros Fuerte No. 4
The cigar up for review this week is yet another selection from RTDA. Yep, I said RTDA, meaning this is a cigar I picked up at last years show, before it became IPCPR. Well, to be honest, the cigars I smoked for this review didn’t actually come from the show. Instead, I saw these in […]
