Blind Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana | Air Bender Maduro Chisel

by Emmett | May 8, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Brazilian, Dominican Republic, Featured, Gregg, Habano, IPCPR, La Flor Dominicana, Litto Gomez, Matthew T., Sandeep, Steve, Torpedo | 0 |

“I wanted to rate this cigar higher. The beginning and middle had some really nice flavors coming through. The smoke output on each draw was plentiful. The oily wrapper and chisel tip made it easy to smoke. All that, and then the final third hit a brick wall. Relights galore and harsh flavors just made the overall rating from me fall off a cliff. I would hope this stick was an anomaly in an otherwise solid blend. If I had stopped after the second third I would be happy.” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

Blind Cigar Review: Quesada | Sons of Freedom Maduro Torpedo

“Flavors were very consistent, which is a good thing, it didn’t burn hot or anything like that at all. Very tasty all the way through, and would say it was a medium, but eventually became a medium-full.” -Mickey T. (irratebass)

Blind Cigar Review: Kafie 1901 | Don Fernando Maduro Torpedo

“I did not mind this cigar at all. It was fairly one noted, but that blend of leather and cashew work synergistically together to hit all of the right keys. I wouldn’t mind having one of these in the future paired with some espresso.” -Kent (Throck)

Blind Cigar Review: Montecristo | Pilotico No. 2

by Emmett | Oct 21, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Eric, Featured, Grupo de Maestros, IPCPR, Jason H., Matt C., Matthew T., Montecristo (DR), Natural, Nicaragua, Sumatra, Torpedo | 0 |

“This cigar was never in my wheelhouse, but I am happy I got the opportunity to smoke it. This cigar expands the palate from prelight to the nub of what a premium cigar can offer in terms of flavor. Maybe my palate is broken.. I have no idea, but the exhale/retro was interesting delivering the wet wood, peat, earth, citrus, salt and flighty cream. I would happily have a few of these on hand to enjoy with some rye whiskey.” -Matt C. (Big Matt)

Blind Cigar Review: Ramon Bueso | Olancho Vintage Torpedo

by Emmett | Sep 30, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Featured, Gregg, Habano, Honduras, Matt C., Natural, Ramon Bueso, Ramon Bueso, Sandeep, Torpedo, Wes | 0 |

“This is a cigar that I could see myself giving to a novice or a seasoned cigar smoker. The seasoned bloke will enjoy the change in pace of flavors presented on sample 529 and the novice will become introduced into the world of what a premium cigar can offer. This is a cigar that could be smoked and enjoyed after several other offerings as the profile is bold and evident. Construction was top-notch and however many hundred or thousand hands it touched before coming to fruition, it was worth it.” –Matt C. (Big Matt)

Blind Cigar Review: Martinez | Flatiron #2

“This was a really great cigar to smoke during my annual camping trip. Wasn’t to light and wasn’t a pepper bomb. Perfect mix of flavors paired well with a few glasses of scotch by the campfire. These will not disappoint. Enjoy.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: Fratello | Boxer

by Emmett | Aug 24, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Featured, Fratello, Gregg, Habano, Kevin S., Kyle, Mickey T., Natural, Nicaragua, Omar de Frias, Torpedo | 0 |

“Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this cigar. Performance and construction were great and the smoking experience was most enjoyable. Although not overly complex in the tasting department, the flavors I experienced were very enjoyable and tastes my palate could easily relate too. I would certainly not be ashamed to pass this stick out to guest and experienced aficionados who I smoke with on a regular basis. Anxious to see what this stick is so I can pick some more up.” -Kyle (kaleehb)

Cigar News: MBombay Announces Gaaja

by Emmett | Jun 21, 2016 | All, Connecticut, Costa Rica, Featured, Natural, Torpedo | 0 |

MBombay’s/ Bombay Tobak’s latest brand, Gaaja (Pronounced : Gaa-ya), will be released on July 1st, 2016. In Sanskrit language “Gaja” (Pronounced: guj ), means elephant. They had been working on the blend of Gaaja for more than 4 years. The process involved in logistics and long fermentation of tobacco from countries like Peru and Paraguay, really tested their patience. They had to wait for 3 vintages of the Hybrid Connecticut wrapper leaf for the perfection they wanted. As the elders say, “patience pays off”; hence Gaaja.

Blind Cigar Review: Underground Cigar | NFG Maduro

by Emmett | May 16, 2016 | Adam B., All, Dave, Featured, Kent, Maduro, Matt C., Matthew T., Nicaragua, Torpedo | 4 |

“I enjoyed this cigar immensely. It had a great appearance and aroma alongside rock-solid construction and subtle, delicate flavors. This would be a great accompaniment on a hot, summer day.” -Kent (Throck)

Blind Cigar Review: Montecristo | Espada Estoque

by Emmett | Jan 13, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Export, Featured, Gregg, Grupo de Maestros, IPCPR, Kent, Montecristo (DR), Natural, Nicaragua, Robert, Ryan, Torpedo | 0 |

“The minimalist flavors of tobacco and leather during the first third provided an enjoyable start to the cigar. The transition into the second third was nice with the addition of some char, coffee and grassy notes. Unfortunately not much more developed leaving me wanting an additional dimension or two.” –Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Nica Rustica Belly

by Emmett | Jan 1, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Connecticut Broadleaf, Drew Estate, Emmett, Featured, Gregg, IPCPR, Jonathan Drew, Nicaragua, Sandeep, Steve, Torpedo, Willy Herrera | 0 |

“This larger vitola benefited from a nice change up of flavors. Although there were no stars, the subtle nuances held my interest for ninety minutes. My biggest issue was an inconsistent and loose draw that made it difficult to pull out a wider range of tastes. I would try this one again based on the flavors.” –Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Foundation | El Güegüense Torpedo

by Aaron | Dec 16, 2015 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corojo, Emmett, Featured, Foundation Cigar, Gregg, Kent, Nicaragua, Nicholas Melillo, Robert, Ryan, Torpedo | 1 |

“I absolutely loved this cigar. This was one of the best cigars I have reviewed this year, if not the best. Whatever it is will be a contender for cigar of the year for sure. The flavors were plentiful, balanced and interesting. Construction was top-notch. I highly recommend everyone try this cigar, and I will buy a box. Highly recommend this.” -Emmett (BMP_Emmett)
