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.

Filler : Nicaraguan Cuban Sandwich (long and medium filler)

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 …

Filler : Dominican Ligero

Today I have a first impressions of the Swag cigar made by Oliveros in the Infamous (6×54) size.

I was gifted this cigar from Mike Williams.

First thing I notice is the Swag is covered almost head to foot with bands and tissue paper. I dont mind if I am buying a box but buying singles, …

VegaFina – Toro

VegaFina – Toro

I have for you this week a cigar that seems to have different bands at different places and that cigar is the VegaFina. I am hoping the blend is the same but I really have no idea why the bands are different. I am starting to think they are in the middle of a change in the design and some places have older and some newer.

Blend for this is an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper with an Indonesian TBN …

Compact 1300-C Butane Jet Lighter

Welcome back for another accessory review. Today is going to be another inexpensive lighter, the Compact 1300-C Butane Jet Lighter.

I again, received two of these lighters from jjo along with a nice selection of cigars. I really enjoy doing these accessory reviews but I kept the video a lot shorter this time so as to not go over the 4GB mark and cause problems again.

Right off the bat, here is a link to buy these Compact 1300-C

Rocky Patel Mulligans

Rocky Patel Mulligans

Welcome back to a super fast review of the Rocky Patel Mulligans cigar. I wanted to get something posted for today and since I have smoked over five of these sticks, this is the one that got picked.

You will notice in the video that I may not have a chance to finish the whole thing but like I said, these are pretty consistent and I am very positive I can go on previous ones for the last bits if …

CAO America Anthem

CAO America Anthem

Wrapper : Connecticut maduro and shade barber poled
Binder : Brazilian maduro
Filler : Nicaraguan, Italian, American and Dominican Republic
Source : bought at my local shop

I am going to be doing the CAO America Anthem size for my weekend long celebration of Independence Day.

Right off the bat, these are very overpriced, in my opinion. This stick will run you around $25.00 while the other America sticks are multitudes cheaper. You could buy a three pack of bottlerockets …

  • I'm convinced at this point, the 1878 line from @pdrcigars is the 'Best Bang for your Buck' in the PDR portfolio. Some of his more expensive cigars just arent as good as this budget stick.
  • Smoking my first Flores y Rodriguez. The Flores, Id imagine, refers to Abe Flores of Pinar Del Rio.
  • IMO Enclosed Foot = "Sorry Sir, I couldn't be bothered to trip up that tobacco so I just wadded it up for you."
  • Box looks great, although it could have used more dry-time. Has a mild stain smell about it.
  • Got a @StudioTobac Sampler in the mail. Looks good, eager to smoke through them.
  • @LaAuroraCigars 107 Corona and @CAOCigars OSA cutter, together in harmony.
  • Have a bunch of things to wrap. Having a cigar to keep me company.
  • Nomad Cigars and Yuengling - 1
  • Have a busy morning ahead of me. It is such tough work but someone has to do it.
  • It is a little "Partagas Serie D No. 4" looking but I like the idea if small batch cigars from @pdrcigars
  • Nothing says Good Mornin' like an @EPCarrillo Elencos
  • Figures, 9 out of 10 were awesome and my last one has a lousy burn and produces virtually no smoke on the draw.
  • @jcruz @jonathandrew1 Same here and I guess you could call this Stogie Review Studios (North)
  • EP Carrillo New Wave Corona
  • Drew Estate Undercrown and Spyderco Native 4 - 1
  • Nub Connecticut 358 and Coffee - 1
  • Nub Connecticut 358 - 1
  • Sosa Underground - 1
