My buddy Stace and I took a roadtrip to Tobacco World in Marietta Georgia for a Berger & Argenti event. Berger & Argenti is a company that has been around since 2009. It was a collaborative effort formed by Enrique Berger of Tabacalera Esteli and Michael and Albert Argenti. Berger & Argenti, has quickly been […]
Opinions here are of Cigar Coop and Cigar Coop alone I debated for about 12 hours whether to post an opinion on what I saw on The Stogie Review’s 20:15 Interview with Tatuaje’s Pete Johnson. After thinking about it, I felt another point of view needed to be documented here. First up, I am a […]
Back this past October, I did a Pre-Review on the Elogio LSV. Now that I have been able to repeat a sample of this, I feel I am in better shape to make a more qualified assessment. This is an Indie cigar that you might not see at your local retailer, but it is a […]
I must admit, yesterday when I previewed the Viaje WLP (White Label Project – St. Patrick’s Day) Candela, I had no intention on providing a review 24 hours later.

Back in January, I reviewed my first cigar from Sean Williams’ El Primer de Mundo line, the El Primer de Mundo Connecticut. I drew comparisons to how this cigar stacked up very well to my #8 Cigar for 2010 – the San Lotano Connecticut. It gave me a lot of respect for what this Indie […]

These are the Viaje WLP Candela – and the Viaje Exclusivo Short. Yes folks, we are in full swing of […]
The Chess Cigar Natural is made by a boutique Cigar Company based in Norway called Chess Cigars. I came across these guys at IPCPR and met their company President – a guy who goes by the name of “Hawk”. Hawk was an extremely nice guy who was incredibly passionate about his product. He believed in […]
No I’m not going to be reviewing the classic Ted Nugent tune, I’m going to review a cigar – yes folks this is the Wango Tango cigar. I would categorize the Wango Tango as an “value-priced Indie” cigar. After smoking the cigar, I’m still a bit indifferent to what my final verdict is. If I […]
For a while I’ve been intrigued with sampling the Paul Garmirian line. Paul Garmirian is a Indie cigar line that tends to fall into the more expensive category when it comes to cigars. At the same time, I have not had a lot of success locating this line of cigars in Charlotte, North Carolina. Upon […]
