Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Nica Rustica Belly

“This larger vitola benefited from a nice change up of flavors. Although there were no stars, the subtle nuances held my interest for ninety minutes. My biggest issue was an inconsistent and loose draw that made it difficult to pull out a wider range of tastes. I would try this one again based on the flavors.” –Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Chinnock Cellars | Terroir Torpedo

"I really enjoyed this cigar, the flavor shifts were outstanding and the spice kept me on my toes. I would definitely buy at least a five pack of these. The performance technically was almost perfect, I never had to think about it after lighting it. The dynamic flavor profile may not be for everyone or all the time, but for me it was a fun ride." -Emmett (rhetorik)

Drew Estate 20 Acre Farm Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"There are some that would call this your grandfather's Connecticut cigar. I personally am not a fan of that flavor profile but I know the majority of the smoking community are. So this would be a winner for the fan of a cigar that is heavy on the cedar, vegetal, and pepper notes. This could make a great everyday cigar for that fan base and should find a home in many humidors." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Drew Estate Herrera Estelí Miami The Raji – Blind Cigar Review

"Smooth and perfectly balanced was the name of the game for this cigar from beginning to end. The transitions in flavor profiles were subtle yet plentiful enough to keep my palate engaged while the contrast of bitter and sweet complimented each other in such harmony that was not overly complex or obscure. Every puff was thoroughly enjoyable and even though it was almost a two-hour smoke, I didn't want it to end." -Noah S. (Noah)

Quick Cigar Review: Herrera Esteli | 2014 Edicion Limitada Lancero

I feel like the other vitolas are just passable, but this one is one to take note of. I would say that the cigar started out at medium-full strength and then eased back to medium for the final two thirds. I highly recommend that you seek these out.
