This is the personal blog of Walt White. I am a Drafter/Designer living in Berks County, PA. I've got a fondness for Cigars, Photography, and Firearms. Take a look around and you may find something interesting regardless of how different your hobbies may be from my own.
A couple of weeks ago, I was in my local cigar shop, Kensington Tobacconist, when I got to talking to the owner about upcoming events. What I learned was that an event was in the works which was a little different from the norm. Rather than have an event which focused on a brand to [...]
A couple of weeks back I was fortunate enough to receive a surprise package in the mail containing a few cigars. The gracious gift came from Thomas over at Duque Cigars down in Florida. This week I decided to pull out the Cuban Crafters Medina 1959 and give it a whirl. My experience with Cuban [...]
Up on the chopping block for the most recent First Impressions video is a cigar that I acquired at Cigarfest 2009. The day before the big event, Jerry and I managed to get behind the curtain and see the expo center floor while manufacturers were setting up. As we were standing there talking with Sam [...]
While at this years Cigarfest, I was fortunate enough to get myself a number of cigar samples. One of those samples was the 5 Vegas Relic. This cigar managed to grab my attention the very first time I saw it in the Cigars International catalog. At first glance I was immediately reminded of how much [...]
On Friday I went through my my normal routine and headed to my local cigar shop. Not seeing the owner, I asked if he was out for the day. I got word that the Camacho Cigars rep was in town and the both of them were out to lunch. A short while passed and both [...]

While making the rounds, I was approached by a fan of Stogie Review. This person introduced themselves as Alex and began speaking to me about Dutch cigars. Alex went on to tell me [...]
After a little bit of a drought here content wise, I decided fire up the camcorder and record another First Impressions cigar review. This time I was craving something mild and creamy as a first cigar of the day. The first cigar that came to mind was one that Davidoff sent me a little while [...]
This week I take a first time look at the new AVO Limited Edition 2009 (LE 09) Compenero. This cigar was a gift from my local tobacconist. Once day while hanging out in the shop, UPS dropped off a package that contained several boxes of cigars. As he unpacked those boxes we were talking about [...]
If you have been following either myself, @jcruz, @dcamacho, @mountchuck, @tightash, or several other cigar buffs on Twitter, you probably know that we are all headed to Cigarfest 2009. Because the event takes place on Saturday, many of us are making a weekend trip out of it and planning on arriving today. Having attended last [...]
After breaking the Davidoff cycle with a Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ, I thought I would jump right back on the horse and burn through one of my three remaining Davidoff samples. This time I touched flame to a Davidoff Millennium in a Lancero format. The Positive: Excellent draw Good smoke volume Beautiful construction Smooth [...]
