"What an excellent cigar! Three district flavor profiles and a nicely increasing strength have me wanting to buy these right now. This is as close to a perfect cigar as I’ve had in years...a real winner!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf) Read More

"This was a great cigar. It was mild to medium in strength which gave me some nice cream mixed with floral and chocolate flavors with a hint of nuts here and there, but mostly on the finish. I would definitely smoke this again. " -Mickey T. (irratebass) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: Padilla | Finest Hour Oscuro Robusto

"I really enjoyed this cigar, specifically the way it evolved. It was like a meal, starting with a smoky, peppered steak and ending with a warm cinnamon-dusted butter cake. This could easily become a daily smoke for me depending on price point." -Vance T. (Vance) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: El Artista | Puro Ambar Robusto

"For a cigar that looked odd from the get-go and had a highly unpleasant cold draw, it performed very well and acted overall like an “ordinary” cigar. Hooray! I liked the portfolio of flavors presented by this cigar throughout the smoking experience and, coupled with the excellent construction, I’d certainly smoke it again.

"I enjoyed this cigar. It felt solid, looked solid, and tasted great. Floral and roasted flavors I felt ran the show but a little pepper and citrus were in there enough to keep you interested." -Jake P. (Jake P.) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: Aguila | Sublime (Revisited)

"A very solid cigar until the final third. A great draw with nice smoke production and good floral and cedar flavors that transitioned into a nice earthy blend. Sadly it loaded up quite a bit in the final third ruining the profile. I would definitely try this cigar again and see if not having to touch it up would solve the final third bitterness." -Lauren S.

"Overall, a great-tasting medium-bodied cigar. However, the flaws in the construction and the tighter draw made this not as favorable as I had hoped. Not that it was bad, it just had so much more potential! " -John A. (Bostoneo) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: Gurkha | Real Toro

"This was a good cigar overall. Had the draw been less cumbersome, it would have been a treat. Nice transitions in flavor while maintaining much of the original flavors at the beginning with just a couple of additions and subtractions. I would buy this cigar in the hopes that the next one would not have the same multi-puffs necessary on the draw." -Randy B. (randobush) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: Southern Draw | Manzanita Toro

"I really enjoyed this experience. If there were no draw issues at the beginning I would have been even more enchanted with it. There were enough sweetness and shifting of core flavors that I never found myself bored and towards the middle, I found the smoke became almost honeyed in texture. I certainly recommend picking one up and could see myself keeping a fiver on hand." -Alan (Eulogy) Read More

Blind Cigar Review: Nat Sherman | Timeless Limited Edition 2019

"I feel like the flavor of this cigar might have been a construction or quality issue. By a couple of inches in the flavor was like I was licking a metal bar and heavy tar flavors mixed in making it pretty much unsmokable. I tried to fight through it but I believe something was just not quite right here. I would be interested in trying it again to see if I just ended up unlucky or if it is the cigar blend itself." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.) Read More
