Blind Cigar Review: My Father | Connecticut Corona Gorda

"Although the wrapper was a little darker than most Connecticuts, I believe this was one. It was medium bodied the whole way through, and had lots of flavors. I really enjoyed this cigar form start to finish. It could be smoked at any time of the day. The quality of the construction and the tobaccos is very high, and I appreciate that. I would definitely buy a box of these." -Emmett (rhetorik)

Blind Cigar Review: Stogie Boys | RIOT 45

"I was excited by the earthy tones of the first third and was equally disappointed with the complete change of direction in the middle. The final third, however, was a well balanced version of what I would've preferred with a cedar and grass profile. I would gladly smoke another one in the future." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

"This is a stick worthy of making a box purchase on after only experiencing one. I'm typically not much of a lancero guy, but this was a great stick, and one that I am very anxious to smoke again." -Dave (mdwest)

"Overall, the cigar was a pleasant experience with a decent level of complexity. The predominant flavors are that of leather, tobacco and cedar. There is also a decent amount of pepper that persists throughout the cigar. I would definitely smoke this one again, but no super premium." -Sandeep (Djangos)

Blind Cigar Review: Hammer + Sickle | Icon Toro

"Why is it when I buy a Connecticut stogie, which is pretty rare for me, that they never quite come close to this sample? Which is why I'm not real fond of Connecticut stogies. But this guy was a paradigm shifter for me. Loved every inch of it, except when I scorched my finger taking it to the nub. This is one I'll be looking out for to add it to the rotation in the future!" -Robert (NavyPiper)

"I found this cigar to be great. It started out spicy but mellowed out to a nice earthy flavor with very good construction. I would have preferred a thicker smoke, but it wasn't bad. I will definitely try this cigar again." -Craig (WyldKnyght)

"Great flavor transitions kept this cigar interesting. The final third was completely different from the others. I appreciated the way the blender stayed true to a basic profile without having me chase a lot of other flavors." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Maya Selva | Flor de Selva Maduro No. 15

"This was a fun cigar with interesting notes you won't find on your typical full-flavored stick. I'd recommend smoking this when you have some time to decipher the full range of flavors it offers - maybe not for the novice smoker. And while there were a few hiccups, I'd certainly smoke another, given the opportunity - maybe a longer acclimation period would help sort out its flaws." -Jordan (Cigar Dojo)

"Never judge a book by it's cover is how I would describe this cigar. It is definitely one of the ugliest cigars I've seen, yet it is also one of the most enjoyable ones I have had as well. Can't wait to see what this was." -Craig (WyldKnyght)
