In this very special episode of Herfin’ Heads Ben does not confront a high school bully, while Brian also does not learn a thing or two from a hard-nosed Driver’s Ed teacher. Instead Ben and Brian journey once again into the realm of cigar reviews to discuss the L’Atelier Extension de la Racine ER13. Along […]

A couple of days later I received a package in the mail which contained 6 Torch Connecticut and 6 Torch Habano. Torch by Veritas Cigars […]
Inferno by Oliva
Have you ever found yourself shopping for cigars online and suddenly skeptical? Your mouse hovers over the “add to cart” button and you just don’t know if your should click. The cigar looks pretty plain, the price is low, but it is made by a manufacturer with a solid reputation. Will this just be another […]
Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial (2013 Release)
In 2008 Oliva expanded on its wildly popular Serie V Liga Especial. The Oliva Serie V Maduro Especial was born and it took Maduro Guys, such as myself, by storm. Cigars were only available in one size (A Torpedo at the time) and came in 10 Count Boxes. Production was limited and most shops in […]

Asylum 13 – Sixty
This has been a rough year in the White Household. With Christmas right around the corner, I’ve been sticking to the deal sights to try and stretch by cigar budget as much as possible. Doing this doesn’t provide much variety but I’ve been able to stock my humidor with some pretty good buys. A little […]
Casa Fernandez Aniversario Boheme
A few weeks ago I came home from work to find a package waiting for me. Inside the package was a note, t-shirt, and several cigar samples from Casa Fernandez. It has been quite a while since I’ve smoked a Casa Fernandez Cigar but I’ve had excellent luck with the lines. With my expectations set […]
Project 805 Andullo
A little while back we received an email from Kevin over at Ventura Cigar Company. Kevin wanted us to check out their Project 805 Andullo line. We were happy to take them up on the offer and a couple of samples were sent our way for review. In the sales literature provided with the Project […]
Henry Clay
‘Whats old is new’ has been a phrase I have been using a lot lately. I’ve been doing my fair share of revisiting some of the cigars that we smoked back in the early days of Stogie Review. The cigar smoker today is a different creature from a cigar smoker from 2006. Back in 2006 […]
