Blind Cigar Review: Caldwell | Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut Corona

by Emmett | May 22, 2019 | 0

“Something sweet, something spicy, mama this was a tasty cigar. Abet nothing terribly complex, this was a cigar I’d keep on hand for days I feel like something to punch me in the face with flavor. Sweet hay like aroma with a red and black peppery finish had me drooling over this one.” -John A. (Bostoneo)
