CAO MX2

Several months ago when CAO began advertising their X2 lines I became very curious and started to search them out at my local cigar shops. Unfortunately I did not have any luck finding one of the two sticks to try. After a few weeks of looking, CAO ran a quiz on their website which asked questions about their new CX2 cigar. I was fortunate enough to guess all the answer correctly and win a free CX2 Cigar.

I really enjoyed …

La Aroma De Cuba

Thanks again to Carlos in NJ as this is another one of the many cigars he sent me a few weeks ago.

When you watch the video you will see I was a bit torn by this cigar. I enjoyed the cigar and I’d recommend it. The problem is, I’m not sure if I’d remember to recommend it. Lots of good earthy and woodsy flavors that I enjoyed. Construction, burn rate and draw were are all superb. I think I …

Jericho by Camacho

A few weeks back I got an email from C-Bid about a sampler of Jericho cigars. The price was decent (around $30.00) so I decided to place a bid. After a few days I got an email letting me know that I had won my auction and that I was the owner of a Jericho Sampler.

The whole reason I decided to take the chance on these sticks was that I read an article in the Cigars International mailer a …

Episode 2 – Your Questions, My Answers (Video)

We’ve received a nice amount of questions and comments and decided to put together Episode 2 earlier than scheduled and for the most part we got the logistics worked out but combining both of our recordings into one almost seamless recording really tested my limited video editing skills.

In this episode Walt & I tackle questions about our stance on flavored/infused cigars as well as our opinion on how to store them. We also discuss tips on how to smoke …

Vasco da Gama Coronas

Huge thanks to Carlos aka Boofa for his very generous care package he sent me last week.

I gotta say, I enjoyed this cigar more than I thought I would. I actually thought the cigar would be harsh and I would label the cigar as a DNF. To my surprise I really enjoyed the flavor profile of a nice sweet taste on your lips with a mild wood/spicey taste that eventually develops into a deep woodsy taste. My only advice …

Rocky Patel Connecticut

First I have to apologize for the rush job on the video. I really wasn’t on my game tonight as it seemed all day long I was behind in everything I needed to do. Just the way it goes in my world of a father-to-be.

The Rocky Patel Connecticut came up in discussion during my review last week on the Montecristo White as being a more affordable option. I have to say that the Rocky Patel Connecticut is one of …

Camacho Select

If you are a regular visitor here at Stogie Review, you already know that I am a bit of a Camacho Fanatic. Over the past couple of years I have come to really enjoy a strong Camacho Cigar to cap off a long day.

After hearing about the Camacho Select, I was really excited to try this cigar. Unfortunately all of the local shops that I stopped in from time to time did not carry this particular cigar. About a …

Episode 1 – Your Questions, My Answers (20:35)

Okay so the title for this series is a little lame. Its something that will need to be brainstormed on but basically we receive a fair amount of questions and comments from YouTube, Skype, AOL IM and e-mail. I just wanted to take some time to share my answers to some of these questions.

Your feedback is appreciated and please correct me or add to any of the questions that I did my best to answer.

Hopefully next month when …

Montecristo White

While I was wishing for something white on Christmas here in Maryland, the closest I got to a white Christmas was enjoying my Montecristo White cigar.

This is the Toro sized Montecristo White and comes in at 6 long with a 54 ring gauge. The Montecristo White features an Ecuadorian wrapper, Nicaraguan binder and filler from both the Dominican and Nicaragua.…

Oliva Series G Maduro

A couple of days before Christmas, I had the opportunity to sneak away for about an hour or so and try to enjoy some time to myself with a good cigar. The cigar that I decided to go with at that particular time was an Oliva Series “G” Maduro.

While at JM Cigars in Exton, PA I came across a box of these in a Torpedo Shape. The box was full of rich, dark, oily cigars and I couldn’t resist …
