Blind Cigar Review: AJ Fernandez | Last Call Maduro Flaquitas
“Overall a pretty damn good cigar. If you like dipping into the spice cabinet realm this one is for you. I detected notes all over, from cinnamon to nutmeg to all spice to cumin. Tasted like I was smoking a Thanksgiving dessert. Very warm and nice flavors. Due to the strength, I would recommend this as an after dinner smoke and pair with a bourbon or blended whiskey and a piece of pie.” -Adam B. (Bushboy)

Blind Cigar Review: Joya de Nicaragua | Silver Ultra
“Great good stuff here. I wanted a bit more power early on, and it finally delivered in the finale. Super chocolaty in the early going, developing to a nice rich espresso finish at the end. If there was any problem here it’s that it was maybe just a little too polite to start. I’d still be happy to smoke a ton more. ” -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: Black Works Studio | S&R Corona Gorda
“Good smoke. I definitely enjoyed the earlier phases more than the finish. The early sweet and creamy profile was really nice, and the spices dancing around the background were a lot of fun. Worked really well for a lazy late Sunday smoke with my fifth or sixth cup of coffee. ” -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: Cubariqueño | Protocol Official Misconduct Toro
“This one ran the spectrum of boldness. It started out with a medium bold taste that grew very bold and biter and then became mild in the final third. I was happy with the consistent flavors of wood and nut throughout which helped maintain some of the enjoyment of this smoke. The second third saw some bitterness come in but it wasn’t so bitter that I wanted to out it down. I was surprised by how it mellowed towards the end. Still, all in all, a very nice experience.” -Eric (smalls29)

Blind Cigar Review: Cornelius & Anthony | The Gent Robusto
“Even though this one finished with a bitter taste, overall I still find this a good cigar. The beginning was promising with notes of hickory and sweet cherry, the cherry faded in to the back ground over time moving to a bold and bitter taste. All in all the flavors held for the most part and finished strong and bitter. To me all of this gave the cigar some good personality.” -Eric (smalls29)

Blind Cigar Review: Foundation | The Tabernacle Havana Seed CT #142 Corona
