Sancho Panza Double Maduro
It is kind of funny that with IPCPR on the horizon and my last Week in Smoke mainly containing new releases that I turn to the Sancho Panza Double Maduro. With Walt recently reviewing the Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte I thought this would compliment his review. Plus, with us trying to get back to basics […]
San Lotano Oval Connecticut by AJ Fernandez
A few years back Cigars International Introduced the Man O’ War Line of cigars by AJ Fernandez. The Man O War Ruination was a smash hit and came highly recommended by Jerry Cruz. Ever since the Man O’ War, AJ Fernandez has become a household name among cigar smokers. As AJ Fernandez become more successful, […]
Herfin’ Heads: L’Atelier Extension de la Racine ER13
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 […]
Herfin’ Heads: Davidoff 2014 Year Of The Horse
In this very special episode of Herfin’ Heads, Ben and Brian take a look at the latest annual limited edition from Davidoff, the 2014 Year of the Horse, and Ben talks about the moment when he first “got” Davidoff cigars. Enjoy! For those of you who don’t take kindly to moving pictures and prefer your […]
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 […]
Herfin’ Heads: Sam Leccia – Black and White
In this very special Ebony & Ivory edition of Herfin’ Heads, Ben and Brian have a few laughs, cover both the Sam Leccia Black and White lines and learn a thing or two. OK, we probably didn’t learn anything beyond how wrong our expectations were for both lines. That turns out to be a good […]
1502 Emerald
It has been sometime since I’ve done a video review. Inspired by Walt who has made a return to doing video reviews I decided to do the same. I actually forgot how much fun it can be and not as labor intensive as I remembered it being. So this should be the first of many […]
Herfin’ Heads: Joya De Nicaragua Rosalones
In this edition of Herfin’ Heads Brian and Ben revisit a surprise from Nicaragua that just appeared on the American market: the Rosalones by Joya De Nicaragua. Ben lights up a new 650 Toro he purchased here, and Brian sets fire to 448 Consul he brought back from Cigar Safari. Will it continue to wow […]
CHATweetUp 2013: Nomad Cigars
Fred Rewey’s a guy I’ve been meaning to talk to for a while. The opportunity presented itself a few weeks ago at the Chattanooga Tweetup, in a walk-in humidor conveniently stocked with plenty of Nomad cigars. In this interview, we touch on the Fugitive II, the Esteli Lot 1386 and the upcoming box-pressed Sumatra S-307. […]
