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 [...]
A couple weeks back, Jerry and I were fortunate enough to score a couple of press passes to Cigars International’s annual Cigarfest. 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 [...]
Today I have a first impressions review of a cigar that many of you are probably very familiar with. That cigar is the Don Pepin Garcia Serie JJ. Due to the price of these cigars locally, and even the online price, I haven’t had a whole lot of interest in dropping the cash on one. [...]
As per the request of Johnny, this week I decided to take a quick detour from my tour of Davidoff of Geneva products and take a look at something less expensive. The cigar this week is the Primera de Honduras and is a product of Benny Gomez Jr. I was introduced to Benny at the [...]
Last weekend I had a little extra free time and decided to get ahead of the curve and record two First Impressions videos. Deciding to tackle another review in the morning with coffee, I opted to continue on my tour of Davidoff of Genva produced cigars. This time I take a look at the Zino [...]
In a continuation of last weeks First Impressions video of the Davidoff 6000, I decided to go right ahead and smoke the next cigar in the package I received from Davidoff of Geneva. The cigar being burned this time around was the Classic No. 2. The Positive: Consistent flavor profile that grew richer along the [...]
Last week I did a Cigar of the Week video on the Davidoff 6000. In that video, I made mention that a person from Davidoff was kind enough to send me a package. Within the package was a DVD that featured the history of Davidoff of Geneva and showed how much effort is put into [...]
For this edition of First Impressions, I take a look at the Davidoff 6000. This cigar was sent to me by Davidoff of Geneva a week, or so, ago without my knowing it was coming. Coincidentally, I conversed with an individual, who prefers to remain unidentified, who never mentioned having worked for Davidoff. This person [...]
photo credit: nanoprobe67 Here is Pennsylvania the weather has been making a gradual change over to the warmer side of the thermometer. Since getting our puppy Syrus, I’ve been spending alot of time outside over the past three days. Sometimes my time is spent tossing an air dog toy, walking the pooch, or the dastardly [...]
The Cigar of the Week, for this week, is the Joya de Nicaragua Antano 1970 in a Petit Corona format. This cigar is one that I have been smoking off and on for a couple of years now. It has always provided a full bodied, full flavored smoke that packs a punch. For an in-depth [...]
