Blind Cigar Review: Balmoral | Anejo XO Rothschild Masivo

"Cedar dominated my sample, but the chocolate held it's own to create a smooth finish. The leather that developed halfway through did a nice job of of balancing the flavors. While the additional coffee and allspice created some other dimensions that made this a solid cigar." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Cubariqueño | Protocol Official Misconduct Corona Gorda

"This was an enjoyable cigar from start to finish. There were constant surprises in the profile from the pre-light all the way to the nub. It progressed the way I like for cigars to smoke. It started out with very pleasing flavors, and developed more, and different ones as it went along. The strength started out close to medium, and slowly progressed to finish solidly as medium full. This would pair well with bourbon or rum, and smokers with a little experience will get the most from it." -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Liga Privada No. 9 Robusto

"From the initial lighting, this was simply an outstanding cigar that I hated to see end. I would definitely buy a box or bundle of these as I'm sure they'll only get better over time. It reminded me of some ultra premium brands that surely deserves a place in every humidor out there. Can't wait to see which one this is." -Milton (mjohnsoniii)

Aganorsa Supreme Leaf Gran Robusto – Blind Cigar Review

"I can say with complete transparency that this cigar was a solid performer overall and that the flavors were very enjoyable. I love leather, baking spices, and nutmeg flavors in a cigar but with a bit more punch. I was hoping for more cocoa or chocolate flavors or perhaps some coffee notes. I'd definitely try this cigar again and could perhaps enjoy this with a morning coffee. A great overall smoking experience. " -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

La Flor Dominicana Solis (Pre Release) – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall, this was a wonderful straight-forward cigar with a medium to medium plus body, providing wonderful notes of almonds, leather, sweetness, and some pepper here and there. A few touchups were required to the wrapper, however, overall construction and burn were on par with a premium cigar. Clocking in with a smoke time of 90 minutes, you’ll need ample time to sit down & sip on this smoke. I’d recommend trying this one out, it may become your new favorite!" -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Partagas | Heritage Robusto

"I really enjoyed this cigar. The flavors were plentiful and full and right in my wheelhouse. The aroma of this cigar is the reason I started to smoke cigars. Something about the smell reminded me of my childhood (I realize this sounds corny, but it is true). I will definitely be smoking more of these in the future and just hope the price tag is kind to the wallet." -Adam B. (Bushboy)
