Blind Cigar Review: Espinosa | Reggae DREAD

"This is a damn good cigar. It was slightly milder than I typically prefer but the interesting mix of flavors kept my attention and didn't leave me wanting more. I'd recommend this to anyone who likes a cigar that is just south of medium strength and would also have no issues handing one to my friends who seldom smoke. This one is worthy of smoking to the nub and is worthy of a place in my humidor." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

"This was a pretty long smoke for a robusto, taking almost an hour and a half to complete. I enjoyed this one a lot and intentionally smoked it slow and cool. Very nice flavors and great performance. I'll be seeking this one out again for sure. " -Dave W. (mdwest)

"Dinner was done and the air was finally starting to cool when I went out to give this cigar a try. I was blown away initially by the huge flavors this cigar produced and I couldn't have been luckier to have waited until early evening to smoke the cigar. It is quite intense, and I'm sure a lot of people would call it harsh. I couldn't imagine smoking this earlier in the day." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

"This was an interesting cigar with many flavor shifts. I wish the final third would have stayed cool enough to finish because I feel that this has a chance to be something special. I'll definitely revisit this again once the reveal is complete." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

"Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this Cigar. The first third had me on the fence but as I smoked a cigar developed with a few transitions and complexities that were thoroughly enjoyable, especially the last half of the Cigar which was very smooth and flavorful. Thumbs up!" -John A. (John A.)

Cigar News: Cigar Dojo Announces Protocol K9 with Cubariqueño

Cigar Dojo and Cubariqueño have announced a collaboration in the creation of a new cigar, the Protocol K9.

Eric Guttormson's brother-in-law is a K9 officer so it's only fitting that their collaboration would center around a K9 theme.
