Blind Cigar Review: Cohiba (Cuba) | Siglo VI

Overall, this was a very good, smooth and velvety smoking experience. The first and second third's core flavors of sweetness, earthiness and floral notes was delicious. The last third was unfortunate as it was mainly just dry wood and black pepper. Hopefully, more age will change that. I would recommend this to someone that enjoys a lot of Cuban cigars. The cigar is fairly nuanced without having the spice to beat you over the head. I would easily seek out a fiver of these." -Jiunn (jliu)

Blind Cigar Review: Punch | Rare Corojo El Diablo

"I didn't hate the flavors of this cigar and it preformed very well technically; I just found myself becoming bored of the flavor profile. It was also a little awkward to smoke due to its very large size and boxed pressed shape." -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: La Palina | Red Label Robusto

"This cigar was good in my opinion. It was nothing over the top and it was not yard bound after the first third. There were nice subtle flavors that a lot of smokers will enjoy. Again, not my cup of tea, but a good smoke nevertheless. Enjoy if you can and expect a nice lighter stick." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: ACME | Premier San Andreas Robusto

"This cigar offered some nice rich flavors while allowing a near perfect balance of more delicate ones to shine. The yeastiness of fresh bread with some occasional chocolate, coffee and baking spices kept the cigar interesting. Cedar and leather also played a key roll. The only downside was the harshness that developed near the end." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Esteban Carreras | Black Cross Corona

"Overall, I really enjoyed this stick. Like I have said earlier, it had that perfect balance to it. There was a good amount of spice that did seem to pick up as the smoke when on, but throughout it still remained a nice, smooth, creamy smoke. I would be interested in what other sizes this cigar comes in. I would like to smoke this again once I find out what it is." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)

Blind Cigar Review: Padrón | Dámaso No. 12

"This cigar offered a fairly solid smoke. The milder flavors transitioned nicely for the first two thirds. Once the leather left during the final third, the cigar developed a bit of harshness while the remaining flavors failed to achieve much of a balance." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Ramon Bueso | Genesis Habano Torpedo

"I enjoyed this cigar overall. It was a beautifully rolled cigar with no blemishes and a solid flavor throughout. The nicotine level became a little overwhelming for me towards the end but would be fine if I was in the mood for a strong stick. I wish that there was a little more variance in flavors throughout the cigar, but it was a pretty brisk smoke for its size." -Alan (Eulogy)
