L’Atelier Surrogates Big Ten Robusto – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall this was a good cigar. It started out with some wood/earthy flavors then transitioned into more creamy and floral notes and then transitioned again with coffee, and some spice to wrap it all up. It definitely keep my interest going from s medium, to a medium plus and then ending with a mild-medium. Would like to smoke more." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

"Everything about this cigar just worked for me. Burn, draw, and flavor profile were all in harmony. The size was perfect for the straightforward flavors that continued from beginning to end. I'm definitely going to be bummed if this is some limited release, that's for sure." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

"Some days are just better than others, and this was one of those days. Beautiful weather paired with good company and capped with a superior cigar make this a day to remember. I honestly can’t remember a cigar with such luxurious smoke. And the light pepper and baking spices on my palate were interesting and welcome. This one is highly recommended!" -Jason H.

"This is a highly intriguing smoke, the flavor profile is very diverse and exceedingly pleasant. While well balanced, the predominant notes of caramel, earth, cherries, and baking spice were most consistent, making this an excellent pairing for a dram of Buffalo Trace or Knob Creek." -Fred L.

"I love this vitola and how they are a perfect winter cigar. There weren't really any big flavor transitions but the flavors hit my palate in the sweet spot. Loved the black coffee, leather, earth and spice this cigar presented me. I would definitely recommend this to full bodied smokers who only have 30 to 45 minutes to enjoy a cigar. Very well done!!" -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Saga Golden Age Yamasá Gran Corona – Blind Cigar Review

"I feel like this cigar may have been a little young or ran into some issues during its aging. The opening has a strong sour flavor, and the finish is dry and chalky. It gave me classic signs of a young stick. While smokable, and I didn't have to put it down, the only flavor I could get between those two issues was a nice classic light earthy flavor. I'd like to try this stick again with six months to a year of age on it to see if that was the issue." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

"This was a very good cigar that performed great from beginning to end. Mild to medium in body but packed full of enjoyable flavors. This is a cigar that can easily be enjoyed any time of day. Lots of cocoa, leather, roasted nuts and some white pepper on the retro. I'd recommend this to new and old smokers alike." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Fratello The Lunar Connecticut – Blind Cigar Review

"The flavor was slightly light and one note, but it was a nice sweet floral and cedar flavor. The cigar had a good creaminess until the final third, which transitioned into a heavy, bitter bite. The cigar smoked fast and seemed light, so I'm unsure if it was underfilled or mix-filled. I would smoke it again at the right price, but it is not the most complex stick." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

"I somehow drew this short smoke out to almost 55 minutes. But I really enjoyed every minute of it. The heavy pepper and oak notes with the hints of citrus were a nice combination. If you are short on time or need a closer for the evening this cigar checked all the boxes for me." -Quinn (quinnpins269)

"Looking at a cigar like this, you kind of feel like you know what you're going to get. And sometimes it's nice when that holds true if it is something you typically enjoy. Good and hearty, with rich bold flavors make for a great session in the cold weather. I'm glad I got the opportunity and look forward to discovering what it is, so I can smoke it again to pair with a delicious coffee stout. It feels like they would be made for each other and I'm happy to find out for you." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)
