Where some would write a review, others weave fascinating tales of journeys to far-off places. Some products just need that kind of passion.

Such is it as the Stogie Review, where Walt has turned a review of the Oliva Series G Maduro into what feels like a novella about the 75 minutes he spent with the flavourful, Nicaraguan torpedo.

When I hit the half way point it was like someone flipped a switch. The cigar went from good to great. The smoke became ultra smooth on the palate and the bitter chocolate faded while the flavors of coffee and nuts picked up. While the cigar went through its transformation, the Nicaraguan style spice began to slowly come back into the picture.

It’s how I’d imagine Hemmingway’s cigar reviews would be like. Except with video.
