Alec Bradley – Vice Press
Ed and I continue putting Alec Bradley cigars to the test over at The Stogie Review. The Vice Press starts off in the medium bodied range, but slowly builds into a full bodied, rich smoke.

Bering Puro Nicaraguan
I picked up this cigar at a local shop mainly because I never heard of it before. I have absolutely no information other then the fact that it is a Nicaraguan Puro, and is a product of Altadis. As always, I paired with a glass of water for the review, and offer you my thoughts. [...]

Back From the Big Smoke
Saturday night, Mashantucket, Connecticut, about 8 pm. I'm standing next to the Quesada Cigars booth at the Big Smoke at the MGM Grand at Foxwoods, puffing on a Coronado by La Flor Double Corona and talking to Hostos Fernandez Quesada. A guy walks up to me and says hello.

JFR Corojo
I picked up this cigar at a local shop near where I work. What caught my eye was the non-flashy packaging, weird looking foot (see pic below), and the nice pigtail cap. I figured it at least deserved a review. From what I’ve read on the Internet, JFR stands for “Just for retailers.” As always [...]
