Blind Cigar Review: Ventura Cigars | PSyKo Seven Robusto

"The cedar has become the dominant flavor in the second third. The spice has gone away nearly entirely and I've gotten a bump-up in strength, a little buzz. The finish is now very short. Every third or fourth draw I get a vegetal note." -Brian (B-daddy)

Blind Cigar Review: Ventura | Archetype Strange Passage Robusto

“This is a cigar that I would gladly smoke again. While the flavors may not have gone through a roller coaster of transitions, they were consistent and well balanced. The retrohale was not bitter or harsh, and really complimented the flavors on the palate. It burned well and produced great smoke. I look forward to finding out about this cigar.” –Matthew T.

Blind Cigar Review: Ventura | Archetype Sage Advice Gordo

"This cigar definitely had personality. It started off with a nice balance of espresso and chocolate with a very nice, mellow after-taste. The second third became more of a strong espresso with hints of chocolate, much like a chocolate brownie after-taste. Finally, it took on the personality of a strong, bold cigar that was basically a strong cup of coffee. There were nice notes of chocolate throughout but became very strong at the end. The construction was solid and the draw, while very easy at first, became just a not tight about half way through. All in all this was nice cigar that would pair well with any strong drink." -Eric (smalls29)
