Blind Cigar Review: Fonseca | Nicaragua Petite Corona

by Emmett | Apr 20, 2018 | 0

“There was a promising start with a nice mocha latte flavor. The flavors were balanced and not overpowering. However, as it moved into the second third the flavors mellowed and were hard to taste unless you took a long inhale and hold it. As the final third came, the flavors went south and became bitter. Not a great ending to a great start. If they could fix the final third and at least the flavors are still there it would be a great cigar.” -Eric (smalls29)

Blind Cigar Review: Curivari | Cyclope 554

by Zane G. | Apr 9, 2018 | 0 |

"This is a cigar I would definitely have again. It might even be a box worthy cigar for me. Definitely powerful but the flavour is complex and progressive enough that the power sits in the background. The fluffy ash and quick smoking time can lead you to believe it is a light cigar but o’contrair! Great after lunch or dinner stick (make sure you have food in your belly). The next one I have will be with a dark roast coffee " -Diana (ArmyRN)
