Every year we put together a list of our Top 25 Cigars of the Year. Our list is a bit different from some other lists, it is not simply a rehashing of our top scores from the year, or one person’s opinion. We gave each of our panelists 10 votes to cast how they please for what they enjoyed the most in 2019. The order of their votes matter, so their #1 pick is worth twice as much as #10. The cigars do not have to have been reviewed by Blind Man’s Puff, but the panelist must have smoked it.

by Zane G. | Sep 21, 2018 | Alan, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Churchill, Diana, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Emmett, Featured, Habano, Matthew T., Natural, Nicaragua, Steve Saka | 0 |

“All around a great cigar. The flavor profile could have had a bit more of an evolution, but the core flavors were quite enjoyable though out and the retrohale provided a nice change from the standard draw. The creaminess of the smoke could have been a little more consistent as parts of the cigar produced thick creamy clouds but a lot of the time it was a little but thin. Overall a very good cigar that I would definitely smoke again. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Todos Las Dias Double Wide Belicoso

by Emmett | Aug 22, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Diana, Double Belicoso, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Featured, IPCPR, John A., Mickey T., Nicaragua, Ryan H., Steve Saka | 0 |

“I liked the overall mix of flavors although I really could have used more sweetness hanging around in the second and last thirds. This is a predominantly leather an mineral taste cigar with the beginning offering a nice splash of pepper and spice and the cocoa and chocolate notes bouncing in and out. I think the vitola is perfect and if it was any longer I would have had enough. Tasty and interesting to say the least.” -Diana (ArmyRN)
