Tweets from the Cigar Expo

Last year Brian and I were fortunate enough to attend the 2009 Cigar Expo put on by Famous Smoke Shop. We had an absolute blast and I was eagerly awaiting the 2010 Cigar Expo. Unfortunately, neither Brian or I will be able to make it this year. The travel from Georgia to Pennsylvania is a bit much for Brian and I’ll be needing to stick close to home with my almost-ready-to-pop wife.

Even though we have to sit…

Stogie Review Update

Time was really tight this week, so instead of a video review, I decided to do a little Stogie Review update instead. In the video below I talk a little bit about some time off I’ll be taking when the baby arrives. In addition I also talk a little bit about what we have coming up on Stogie Review. Those things include Mike doing Cigar Expo coverage as well as expected IPCPR coverage for the annual trade show in New…

Contest: Win a Box of Pinar del Rio 1878 Cubano Especial Cigars

A few days ago I was on Facebook talking with Abe Flores of Pinar del Rio. We talked about a variety of things and Abe made mention of wanting to spread the word about his new line of cigars. I suggested that giving away a box would go a long way in spreading the word and he was more than happy to provide us with a box of PDR 1878 Cubano Especial Cigars to offer as a contest…

Stogie Review Live

Earlier this week I was browsing through my RSS Reader and saw that Google Wave came out of private beta. With it being open to the public came the option to embed a wave within a page for the world to see. That got me thinking about how we could utilize the service to benefit the Stogie Review Fans.

My initial thought was to use to let people see us working on reviews and taking notes. After getting…

Fan Forums Upgraded

Back in August 2007 we opened the doors to the Stogie Review Fan Forums. Now, I’m not going to make any outlandish claims like a certain forum conglomerate does but over the past two and half years its grown into an impressive community both in quantity and quality. Its definitely exceeded any expectations we had and unlike that conglomerate, I’m proud that we were able to build our community from the ground up. To keep up with that growth, we’ve…

SR 12 Days of Christmas – Day 9 Winner

We are now coming down to the final stretch of the Second Annual Stogie Review 12 Days of Christmas. In this phase of the contest, we asked everyone to submit Christmas Card style photos involving cigars. The only restriction we set in place was that there was to be minimal photo editing.

Last year we held this very same contest and received some really cool photos. If you haven’t seen them, you should take a minute to see what
