Blind Cigar Review: Villiger | San’Doro Claro Toro Revisited
“I am not a big fan of overly mild to mild-medium cigars. This one made me change my outlook. From the initial appearance and feel to the smoke throughout each third, this cigar was definitely one for everyone. Whether smoking in the morning with coffee, lunchtime with a soda or lemonade, or after dinner with some scotch or bourbon, this cigar will deliver a tremendous experience to enjoy. Grab these and just sit back and relax.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | 1962 Corojo Robusto
“Even though the final third was bitter and poor tasting, overall it was a good cigar. Not much in the way of flavors other than a nice woody taste and a wonderful campfire smell. The beginning had some nice spicy notes and a wonderful peppery tingle on the lips, but that did not last too long. In the end his would pair nicely with a good whiskey or even a string espresso.” -Eric (smalls29)

Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | 107 Cosecha 2006 Corona Gorda Especial
“I just couldn’t get passed the strong bitter taste I obtained through the first third. I was hoping it would transition away and something else would come alone. It really was a chore to smoke this cigar all the way through. If I had purchased this myself It would have been pitched.” -Zane G. (Zane)

Blind Cigar Review: JRE | Aladino Robusto
“This cigar was fantastic and kept my interest throughout the entire experience. Exhale was delicious cream, sandalwood, and the perfect amount of spice and sweetness. Citrus and slightly bitter ripe cherry twang flirt in and out of the profile. The retrohale provided varying levels of black pepper, wet cedar, cream and bubblegum. I will be buying a ton of these cigars if readily available and putting them in my regular rotation.” -Matt C. (Big Matt)

Blind Cigar Review: Cordoba y Morales | Platino Sumatra: Reposado en Cedro Toro
“Although not my favorite flavors, this was an extremely enjoyable cigar. Long, slow and cool burn that was second to none. The expertise of which this cigar was rolled made it fantastic all around. If the price is right, I could see picking up a fiver of these in the future. I would be interested to see what a little rest could do to the flavors.” –Adam B. (Bushboy)

Blind Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana | Air Bender Maduro Chisel
“I wanted to rate this cigar higher. The beginning and middle had some really nice flavors coming through. The smoke output on each draw was plentiful. The oily wrapper and chisel tip made it easy to smoke. All that, and then the final third hit a brick wall. Relights galore and harsh flavors just made the overall rating from me fall off a cliff. I would hope this stick was an anomaly in an otherwise solid blend. If I had stopped after the second third I would be happy.” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

Blind Cigar Review: Guáimaro | Corona
“Sample 612 is a very good cigar across the whole board. Exhale was dominant barnyard, dark earth, coffee, strong oak, and chocolate notes. The burn and construction were great. I will be picking up a handful of these when I figure out what this cigar is.” -Matt C. (Big Matt)

Blind Cigar Review: Fratello | Oro Robusto
“The beginning was very nice and enjoyable. The predominant flavors were wood and nuts. There were hints of sweet cherry wood and some earthy tones. The flavors remained nicely balanced up unto about the final third. At this point it became bitter and sour. I consider this one an old fashioned cigar. I think it would pair nicely with a scotch or spiced rum.” –Eric (smalls29)

“This one was really different, and that is a good thing. No more of the same old flavor profile here. Some unique flavors mixed with a great burn and tons of smoke output, that makes this a cigar I want to try again. I will be glad to find out what this one is.” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)
