Accessory Review: Kenco | Blank Cigar Bands

Blank cigar bands are something that we use quite a bit of here at Blind Man’s Puff. We remove the bands that cigars are shipped with and then use blank bands with a review number on the cigars that then get sent out to the reviewers. Over the course of a year we end up using more than 750 blank cigar bands.

Accessory Review: Xikar | HP3 Triple Flame Lighter

Xikar released the HP3 Triple Flame Lighter in 2018 as a followup to 2017's HP4 quad flame lighter we reviewed and loved here. The lighter uses an in-line configuration of triple flames with the outside jets angled 8 degrees toward the center so they converge into one big flame. The HP3 comes in 4 finishes: Burnt Yellow, Daytona Red, Matte Black and G2. My sample is the Daytona red. The HP3 also features a large adjustment wheel, pull-down ignition, and EZ-View Fuel Window. MSRP is $99.99.

Editorial Review: G.A.R. | Deli Custom Blending Experience

Overall, I REALLY enjoyed this experience. It gave me an opportunity to do something that, until now, was only a dream. And the great thing is, anyone can do it. There are a few things I would add or improve, and hopefully those things will be changed in the future if this becomes more popular. Those few shortcomings are far outweighed by the awesome experience and attention to detail in presentation. I want to thank Natasha and George again for giving me the opportunity to review this product, I really enjoyed the experience and definitely recommend this to all the intermediate and advanced smokers out there.

Overall, this is a great piece of traditional, yet modern, cigar clothing.

Accessory Review: Whiff Out – Ashtray Deodorizer

At this year’s IPCPR in New Orleans I ran into Michael of Whiff Out on the show floor and then at one of the cigar after parties. Michael talked about how amazing Whiff Out worked and said I should try it. A few weeks after the show I got in contact with him and he was kind enough to send me some samples to review and try out.

Accessory Review: Tommy Bahama | Overnighter Travel Case

Overall this case is wonderful. It exceeded my expectations in aesthetics and performed well functionally. This case is perfect for taking to the beach or your local cigar bar, and people will ask you about it. Given it's pricetag, this may not be for everyone, but given it's quality and great appearance and the accessories included, it's worth it to me.

Accessory Review: Commonwealth | Cedar Spills and a Giveaway

I used approximately a dozen spills for this review and I have to say that every spill burned consistently. I used both lighting methods I outlined above and never found that the spill overpowered the cigar flavors. When I had the spillbox out on the kitchen counter, my wife saw it and said “That’s pretty cool looking,” so I guess you can say that the ladies dig it as well.

Accessory Review: Xikar | 5 x 64 Turrim

When I first saw the pictures of the Turrim lighter from Xikar, I thought it was nice, and sleek looking, and I liked that they emphasized how much fuel it could hold, but I had NO IDEA until I received this thing in the mail how big it actually is. And that’s not to say that it’s size it a bad thing either,
