Blind Cigar Review: Tre J | Vicarias Black Robusto
“I kept saying that this was not a bad cigar but also never found anything that was overly special about it. This would make a great cigar for yard work or walking your dog. Good flavors can be found, at times, but not overly complex that it will keep you from whatever you are trying to accomplish. I could see myself smoking it again but wouldn’t spend to much time seeking one out. ” -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Blind Cigar Review: Brick House | Maduro Toro
“This is actually an easy cigar to sum up. If you like full bodied cigars that burn slow and deliver the straight forward flavors of earth and black pepper, then you will probably enjoy this cigar. If those flavors aren’t your jam and you’re inclined to smoke something with a little nuance or transitions… smoke something else. ” -Matt Cade (CadeTNCC)

Blind Cigar Review: Brick House | Maduro Mighty Mighty
“This is a big cigar that’s not big on flavors or complexity. With a ring gauge this large, if I’m going to spend over an hour and a half smoking a cigar I would ideally like to experience more flavors and transitions.” -Allison T. (The Yoga Ash)

Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | 1985 Maduro Robusto
“Any cigar that does not become bitter near the end is a good one. The spices for most of the time were a nice blend of cinnamon and nutmeg with a great spice tingle. Towards the end the black licorice came in but was not over bearing. All in all this is one that will pair well with a single malt scotch. It would be a nice addition to my humidor.” -Eric (smalls29)

Blind Cigar Review: CAO | Orellana
“While this cigar is far from pretty, it didn’t give me nearly the experience its outward appearance perhaps alluded to. Straight forward flavors and mostly solid construction with a very nice aroma.” -Matt Ca. (Cade)
