by Zane G. | Apr 10, 2019 | Alan Rubin, Alec Bradley, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Daniel S., Dave, Diana, Featured, Honduras, Isaac M., Robusto | 0 |

“If someone is looking for a flavor bomb thats a bit on the high side of medium strength, this would be a good choice. It is a rich and bold cigar that is definitely in your face from beginning to end. ” -Dave W. (mdwest)

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

by Zane G. | Mar 8, 2019 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corona, Dave, Featured, Foundation Cigar, John A., John I., Mickey T., Nicaragua, Nicholas Melillo, Ryan H. | 0 |

“Magnificent cigar in my absolute favorite vitola. The flavor profile hit all of my weaknesses, pepper, coffee, chocolate, and an ongoing background tease of spices from the Indian/North African flavor palette. Loved this smoke, and I want a bunch more of them as soon as possible. ” -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: Gran Habano | Blue In Green Churchill

by Zane G. | Mar 6, 2019 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Churchill, Connecticut, Dave, Featured, George Rico, Gran Habano, Honduras, John A., John I., Mickey T., Natural, Ryan H. | 0 |

“A great mild medium two hour smoke when you have the time to sit back and enjoy a near masterpiece. I wish there was a bit more transitions at the halfway point, however the first and last third really shined and kept my attention to its various rich flavors. I would probably put money down on a box with a great blend like this to see how it progresses over tome for sure!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Ohana | Friends & Family Corona Gorda

by Zane G. | Dec 12, 2018 | Adam B., All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corona Gorda, Dave, Derek, Eric, Featured, Habano, Mickey T., Nicaragua, Oscuro, Rosado | 0 |

“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)

Blind Cigar Review: CAO | Zacalo

by Emmett | Sep 4, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, CAO, Dave, Diana, Double Toro, Featured, John A., Mexican San Andres, Mickey T., Natural, Nicaragua, Rick Rodriguez, Ryan H. | 0 |

” It started off as a tasty cigar, however it plateaued about halfway through into a steady flavor profile. The back half remained a pleasant profile but lacked complexity. Draw, construction, and burn were exceptional for this sample considering the size. Not something I’d run and grab every day but definitely smoke one here and there when I crave a large stick. ” –John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Todos Las Dias Double Wide Belicoso

by Emmett | Aug 22, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Diana, Double Belicoso, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust, Featured, IPCPR, John A., Mickey T., Nicaragua, Ryan H., Steve Saka | 0 |

“I liked the overall mix of flavors although I really could have used more sweetness hanging around in the second and last thirds. This is a predominantly leather an mineral taste cigar with the beginning offering a nice splash of pepper and spice and the cocoa and chocolate notes bouncing in and out. I think the vitola is perfect and if it was any longer I would have had enough. Tasty and interesting to say the least.” -Diana (ArmyRN)

Blind Cigar Review: Hiram & Solomon | Traveling Man Toro

by Zane G. | Aug 15, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Featured, Hiram and Solomon, John A., John I., Mickey T., Natural, Nicaragua, Ryan H., Sumatra, Toro | 0 |

”Overall this was a decent Cigar that would be appropriate for any time of the day regardless of how many you have already had. While not being terribly complex or diverse flavor profile, it did have a good consistent flavor throughout the session. I found it was hard to hold an ash as it consistently wanted to fall into my lap around the 1 inch mark. Smoke it again? Probably. ” –John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: L’Atelier | Identité Mélange Spécial No.2

by Emmett | Aug 13, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corona Gorda, Dave, Featured, John A., L'Atelier, Mickey T., Natural, Nicaragua, Pete Johnson, Ryan H. | 0 |

“One of the best cigars I have reviewed so far this year. While it started a little slow, it finished like a champion, and improved from beginning to end with every puff. I’m ready for a box purchase after just one cigar. ” –Dave W. (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Carolina Blue | Maduro Toro

by Zane G. | Aug 10, 2018 | Alan, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Dominican Republic, Featured, John A., Maduro, Mexican San Andres, Mickey T., Ryan H., Toro | 0 |

“This was a very full bodied cigar. I know that I am more sensitive to nicotine and pepper than most, but it wasn’t overpowering or unpleasant for me. If I hadn’t just eaten before I’m not sure if my opinion would be the same. The flavors were rich but didn’t have a real evolution throughout. If you’re a fan of rich full bodied cigars this is a great choice, but I would need to be prepared to smoke something this powerful again. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | Preferidos Diamond Broadleaf Toro

by Zane G. | Aug 6, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Connecticut Broadleaf, Daniel S., Dave, Dominican Republic, Featured, IPCPR, John A., La Aurora, Maduro, Manuel Inoa, Mickey T., Ryan H., Toro | 0 |

“Overall this was a solid performing smoke. A bit full bodied and strong for sure, make sure you have something in your stomach before smoking this bad boy, it will hit you going into the second half. Flavors were spot on for a full bodied smoke and diverse enough to make it interesting. Try one out, may be your next full bodied goto!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

by Zane G. | Jul 25, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corona, Dave, Featured, John A., Matt H., Natural, Nicaragua, Ryan H., Steve, Warped | 0 |

“This cigar produced an excellent smoking experience. Flavors were well balanced, and frequent changes in profile kept me interested from the first puff until the last one. This one is worthy of making a box purchase later. ” -Dave W. (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Gran Habano | S.T.K. Black Dahlia Robusto

by Zane G. | Jul 18, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corojo, Dave, Featured, George Rico, Gran Habano, Honduras, John A., Mickey T., Robusto, Ryan H., Steve | 0 |

“This was a great smoking cigar. The variance and complexity of flavors offered were amazingly tasty and made it hard to not just want to hotbox this thing because it was THAT good. That being said, I’ll defiantly recommend this cigar to any smoker as it is a mild to medium stick with uddles of semi sweet flavors. I need a box… stat. ” –John A. (Bostoneo)
