Blind Cigar Review: Draig | Cayuquero Corona

"If it weren't for the draw, this would have been an enjoyable cigar. As it was, I didn't smoke it nearly as far down as I would prefer for a premium cigar, particularly for a review...it was just too much work, unfortunately. Maybe the next one will be better!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Quick Cigar Review: Viaje | Stuffed Turkey Dark Meat 2018

Overall, it does what you expect from a great cigar. Profile changes, solid flavors throughout, great smoke output, solid draw, and rich creamy smoke. The burn was spot on throughout requiring no touch ups or relights. The construction was top notch from the appearance of the wrapper, solid feel, tight strong ash, and perfect draw. It's a surprisingly long smoke for its size too, taking me a little over two hours. Certainly worth picking up a few if you can find them.

Blind Cigar Review: Caldwell | Blind Man’s Bluff Connecticut Corona

"Something sweet, something spicy, mama this was a tasty cigar. Abet nothing terribly complex, this was a cigar I’d keep on hand for days I feel like something to punch me in the face with flavor. Sweet hay like aroma with a red and black peppery finish had me drooling over this one." -John A. (Bostoneo)

"This was a thoroughly enjoyable smoke that I could recommend to anyone that enjoys medium bodied and flavorful cigars. The flavor profile of light brown sugar, spices, and figs were very enjoyable as they each took turns highlighting themselves. Definitely a box where the smoke that I would buy multiples of!" -John A. (Bostoneo)

La Gloria Cubana Serie S Robusto Gordo – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall this turned out to be an exceptional cigar. The flavors did not transition much with the exception of the coffee that came and went and came back. The creaminess of the smoke and the temperature made for an extremely enjoyable cigar. The strength and body never climbed any higher than mild to medium, but once again, with the smoke texture of the cigar, it made for an overall very enjoyable experience." -Angel M. (Angel)

Blind Cigar Review: Gran Habano | Corojo #5 Gran Reserva 2012 Corona Gorda

"This cigar was the tale of two cigars. If you are a smoker that only keeps the smoke on your palate, you would classify this cigar as one dimensional. Blowing some of the smoke out of your nose bring a delightful pine needle effervescent that makes this a well rounded cigar. I had to take points away do to the burn issues but overall it would be a good cigar that would be enjoyed by most people and would make a good everyday cigar." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Top 25 Cigars of the Year – 2021

Every year we put together a list of our Top 25 Cigars of the Year. Our list is a bit different from some other lists, it is not simply a rehashing of our top scores from the year, or one person’s opinion. We gave each of our panelists 10 votes to cast how they please for what they enjoyed the most in 2021. The order of their votes matter, so their #1 pick is worth twice as much as #10. The cigars do not have to have been reviewed by Blind Man’s Puff, but the panelist must have smoked it. To qualify for a vote, the cigar must have been released in 2021 with a few exceptions:
