” 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)

Quick Cigar Review: Cohiba | Majestuosos 1966

by Emmett | Apr 22, 2016 | All, Cohiba (Cuba), Cuba, Double Toro, Emmett, Featured, Quick Cigar Reviews | 1 |

For the most part, this tasted like a Cohiba, and not the best one I’ve had. I had expected a lot more from a special edition. The flavors were not all that complex and the transitions were moderately noticeable. Perhaps with some more time this would be something special, but for the moment, I doubt it will justify the hefty price tag it will take to get one.

Blind Cigar Review: Marrero | Tico Pigtail

by Aaron | Sep 11, 2015 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Collaboration Review, Costa Rica, Double Toro, Featured, Habano, Joel Vazquez Marrero, Kent, Marrero | 0 |

“This is a fantastic cigar with well balanced flavors and a smooth rich texture. The sweet notes in this cigar range from honey, to caramel, to a vanilla cream, which really makes the cigar come to life. These sweet notes pair well with hearty tobacco and oak notes. Construction is top notch and the draw evens out into a smooth draw with just enough resistance. This cigar may be a bit too much for beginners, but it is a necessity for experienced cigar enthusiasts. This was an amazing cigar experience and I could easily put this cigar into my regular smoking rotation. Once I know what this cigar is, I am going to hunt down a box.” -Dave (Cigar Jukebox)

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: Room101 | El Mas Chingon No. 3

“I enjoyed this cigar. It was a bit one dimensional, but it was pleasant. Due to its size, I would have trouble finding time to smoke this as an every day cigar, but when I am reading a book outside or playing poker with friends I think this would be great cigar because it doesn’t require a lot of attention.” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | C-276 Toro Grande

“Normally, “one dimensional” would be used as a way to complain about a cigar, but in this case it is not. The one dimension presented was very good. Flavors were solid and construction was great. I’d be interested in picking some more of these up for sure.” -Dave (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Don Lucas | 20th Anniversary Robusto Gordo Aniversario

by Aaron | Jul 3, 2015 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Craig, Dave, Derek, Dominican Republic, Don Lucas, Double Toro, Featured, Kent, Ron | 0 |

“I’d park this firmly in the “good” camp. It was pleasant, and I wouldnt mind smoking another, but it’s not something I’ll chase. I would be minorly interested to see how a smaller ring gauge would improve the overall experience, but to be honest, I would only pursue that if someone else recommended it. As it stands, this doesn’t stand out to me at all.” -Derek (StogieNinja)

Blind Cigar Review – Revisited: Royal Gold | Kismet Fate

by Aaron | May 20, 2015 | All, Augusto Reyes, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corojo, Craig, Dave, Dominican Republic, Double Toro, Emmett, Featured, IPCPR, Revisited, Robert, Ron, Royal Gold | 0 |

“An interesting cigar to smoke, with flavors that jumped around fairly often and kept the smoker on his toes.” -Ron (shuckins)

Blind Cigar Review: Maya Selva | Flor de Selva Maduro Tempo

“The cigar was surprisingly great. Had a good complexity. Though the ring gauge was daunting initially, the flavor profile stayed on par and was very enjoyable.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: Carlos Toraño | The Brick BFC

“As I said earlier, box pressed cigars are not usually my go to cigar. However, this was a nicely made cigar and it smoked very well. If some of the more expensive cigars tasted like this and were this easy to smoke it would justify their prices. This was a very good cigar!” -Paul (pmr1010)

Blind Cigar Review: Don Lopez | El Gran Emperador

by Aaron | Aug 18, 2014 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Craig, Dave, Don Lopez, Double Toro, Emmett, Featured, Habano, Maduro, Nicaragua, Robert, Ron | 0 |

“The flavor profile was nice, but was a bit more muted than I would have liked. More defined or bold flavors would have certainly been appreciated. Not by any means a bad experience, but not one that really wowed me in any way either. Not sure I would be interested in giving this one another go anytime soon.” -Dave (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Emilio | AF1 Gran Toro

by Aaron | Jul 4, 2014 | AJ Fernandez, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Derek, Double Toro, Emilio Cigars, Featured, Gregg, Mexican San Andres, Nicaragua, Robert, Ron | 0 |

“I’m curious to see the reveal on this stick. While I would have really liked to have seen some more complexity and changes in profile in such a long smoke, the flavors were very nice and it was a pretty low maintenance stick. Assuming the price is right, it might make a nice “daily” smoker.” -Dave (mdwest)
