by Emmett | Dec 13, 2018 | All, Crowned Heads, Jon Huber, News, Nicaragua | 0 |

This Thompson Cigar exclusive has a Mexican San Andres wrapper like the Jericho hill, but that is where the similarity ends. It uses an Ecuadorian Sumatra binder and filler from Nicaragua and the Dominican Republic. It will come in 20 count boxes in three vitolas: 4 3/4 x 52, 6 x 54, and 5 x 56 all parejo shape. The price ranges from $5.95-$7.95.

Blind Cigar Review: Ohana | Friends & Family Corona Gorda

“This was a wonderful experience. The flavors were nice and constant and never strayed in to bitterness and yuck. The cedar flavor was there from begging to end. The best part was the slightly sweet taste left on the palate. The aroma was that of a cedar log burning in the fireplace that made this one even more enjoyable. Definitely one for the humidor. ” -Eric (smalls29)

“This wasn’t the most progressive smoke in the world for me but it was very pleasant. I enjoyed the flavor notes and especially the last third where the smok tobacco came more into play. This cigar was very relaxing to me as it was smooth, minimal if at all pepper notes, cocoa, some floral and other earthy flavors were consistent and tasty.” -Diana (ArmyRN)

Blind Cigar Review: Aganorsa Leaf | Buena Cosecha Corojo Torpedo

by Emmett | Dec 3, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Featured, IPCPR, Natural, Nicaragua | 0 |

“I really enjoyed this cigar. It was a great 1st smoke of the day, which it was for me. There was a bit of honey sweetness mixed with tea, coffee and just a hint of spice at the very end of the smoke. It stayed cool/light bodied the entire smoke, and never got above medium in strength. ” -Mickey T. (irratebass)

“I really enjoyed this cigar. It had just enough transitions to keep me interested and just kept getting better as I went along. There was a lot of creamy coco, brown sugar, leather, hay, and woodiness notes that all worked together in a really nice way. I would suggest trying one for yourself. ” -Jeff (ExpendableYouth)

“This was a good cigar, but that’s about all I can say about it. It was solid, start to finish, with just enough going on to keep me interested but not amazed. In the end I’d say that it’s just as forgettable as it is nub-able. That said, I’d still have another!” -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

“This is a cigar I would smoke any day. If you are looking for a nicely flavored cigar without any pepper this would be a great smoke. The earthiness along with the smooth and creamy profile was very pleasant. There was a great blend of coffee, cocoa, hint of leather, baking spices and leafy floral. I really enjoyed this and recommend this cigar for any level of cigar smoker. ” -Diana (ArmyRN)
