Drew Estate Blackened S84 Toro - Blind Cigar Review
"It does a lot of things right with a fantastic with creamy smoke and great construction. The first and third notes were very bold and rich while the middle felt a bit muddled. It is a solid morning smoke and is strong enough to hold up to a strong drink. Worth a shot to see how how you enjoy it." -Alan (Eulogy)

Aganorsa Leaf Arsenio Toro - Blind Cigar Review
"Overall this was a very good cigar that I would happily smoke again. There were enough flavors to keep my interest with Caramel, salt, honey, peanut and coffee flavors. The cigar started out as a mild to medium and eventually ended up being more mild which was fine with me." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

Lovely Cigars No. 162 Churchill - Blind Cigar Review
"What started out as a promising but went south quickly. Relight after relight, touch up after touch caused for a near unsmokable experience. It is hard to judge a line of cigar by smoking one so I will revisit it another time to see if this was a one off experience or what this line will be." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

JRE Aladino Fuma Noche - Blind Cigar Review
"This is a cigar that really grew on me. For an evening smoke, I was hoping for something that had a bit more punch but the flavors were so crisp I fell in love with it. It isn't something that would stand up to a strong drink late at night but if you really want an amazing cigar with clean flavors this is it. " -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Ave Maria | Lionheart Earl
"Really well crafted and lovingly made cigar that is probably the polar opposite of what appeals to my palate. Very crisp, bright and dry flavors. In the early portion there were some fairly negative points offering bitterness and astringency. Overall a fairly mild cigar that may appeal to devotees of a more classic Connecticut flavor profile.

Wildfire The Revivalist Corona Gorda - Blind Cigar Review
"This was a cigar that offered up some good notes of salted nuts, warm baking spices, and the tartness of plums. It also hit a high note of pepper towards the end that hit with just the right amount of pop. While the notes were strong enough and moderately complex, the construction issues really took away from the experience. With all of this being said, I could see checking these out with a couple singles and see if it hits within your wheelhouse." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

"Incredibly tasty cigar. The flavors evolved and mingled perfectly till the end. Other than some construction issues I had, I would recommend this to anyone. Very flavorful, excellent smoke output, and a great burn is everything you look for in a top notch cigar. Perfect everyday cigar. " -Alan (Eulogy)
