Blind Cigar Review: Paul Stulac | Red Screaming Sun Robusto

"The first 2/3's would cause me to smoke this cigar again if offered. It was a pretty beefy cigar that would work well following a big meal. The flavors were OK but not a lot of interest. The final third was a let down for me." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Bodega | Reunión Digestivo Corona Gorda

"I can't wait to find out what this cigar was, so I can buy some. I HIGHLY recommend it. The flavors were so complex, it was hard to keep track of. The transitions were prominent and well timed, delivering a different featured flavor in each third, while keeping the same core in the background. This was a pretty strong cigar though, so probably not for the novice, but if you are a true cigar smoker, buy this." -Emmett (rhetorik)

Blind Cigar Review: Puros de Ballard | The Leaf by Oscar Connecticut Toro

"Lovers of milder to medium cigars are going to love this one. Even though not very complex in the first and middle thirds, it picks up and compensates in the final third. I usually enjoy a little more pepper and more spice so I was a little disappointed in that. More sweeter flavors would have been welcome, but then again this was not a maduro. Overall, a good cigar that I will definitely want to visit again." -Sandeep (Djangos)

"Nubbed it. I have not smoked a cigar this interesting in a while for BMPs. This has the early lead for BMP cigar of the year for me. It helps with the flavors are in your wheelhouse, but I really enjoyed the flavor changes and complexity of flavors. I will be awaiting the reveal on this cigar." -Jason (bigslowrock)

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | Fugitive II

"This cigar definitely showed signs of being an excellent cigar. There were multiple flavors that came and went but didn’t really stick around long enough to really enjoy them. It was very good, but I think it could have used more rest to be great. I’d love to grab a couple (or few) to let rest for a few more months to see what would become of them. I’m almost sure that it would make a world of difference." -Milton (mjohnsoniii)

Blind Cigar Review: Padilla | Vintage Reserve Churchill

"This was a cigar that was right in my wheelhouse. The look, flavor and performance were just right for me. One note was that I did catch just a little nicotine buzz from this stick...nothing too much, just enough to make it fun! When I find out what this is I'll recommend it to my friends!" -Jason H.

Blind Cigar Review: Chinnock Cellars | Terroir Torpedo

"I really enjoyed this cigar, the flavor shifts were outstanding and the spice kept me on my toes. I would definitely buy at least a five pack of these. The performance technically was almost perfect, I never had to think about it after lighting it. The dynamic flavor profile may not be for everyone or all the time, but for me it was a fun ride." -Emmett (rhetorik)

"Creamy cedar with light pepper joined by splashes of coffee around the halfway point. It blends really well with the nutmeg and cocoa flavors in the tobacco providing a nice balance and a pleasant smoking experience." -Ron (shuckins)
