Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Umbagog Bronzeback – Blind Cigar Review

"This is a really attractive cigar to begin with, and after the first few puffs, I realized I was in for something good. This cigar gave me ample transitions and a significant change in power from beginning to end, which fit my day perfectly. I’d gladly smoke more of these whether it be a hot day or cold day. I’ll happily recommend this cigar to my smoking friends." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Espinosa 601 La Bomba Warhead IX – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall this was a good cigar, although it did start off better than it finished for me. The chocolatey sweetness at the beginning would have been phemonimal if it was present the whole way through. All in all, the flavors that were present were good. The shape of the cigar is neat, and while medium-full, it is still not crazy strong, though it should not be enjoyed on an empty stomach." -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Red Meat Lovers Club Ribeye (2023) – Blind Cigar Review

"Looking at a cigar like this, you kind of feel like you know what you're going to get. And sometimes it's nice when that holds true if it is something you typically enjoy. Good and hearty, with rich bold flavors make for a great session in the cold weather. I'm glad I got the opportunity and look forward to discovering what it is, so I can smoke it again to pair with a delicious coffee stout. It feels like they would be made for each other and I'm happy to find out for you." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Polpetta – Blind Cigar Review

In 2019, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust introduced their first event-only cigar, the "Polpetta". By 2023, it was adapted into a regular production cigar. The Polpetta, rolled at the Nicaragua American Cigars S.A. factory, was well received by our panel for its earthy coffee notes, spice, dark chocolate, hint of leather and excellent draw. Constructed in a Rothschild vitola shape, it now sells for $7.30 each.

Macanudo Vintage Maduro 2013 Robusto – Blind Cigar Review

"This was certainly an interesting cigar. The profile had dramatic changes every third which was great but not all of the were my cup of tea. I found the draw to be a little spongy and the cap way too small but neither were deal breakers for me. Certainly a unique experience and worth a try." -Alan (Eulogy)

"I somehow drew this short smoke out to almost 55 minutes. But I really enjoyed every minute of it. The heavy pepper and oak notes with the hints of citrus were a nice combination. If you are short on time or need a closer for the evening this cigar checked all the boxes for me." -Quinn (quinnpins269)

"Great cigar from beginning to end. This cigar was full of flavor. Notes include tea, black pepper, popcorn, hickory, lavender, pork, and clove. I wanted the enjoyment to continue. Perfect draw, burn, and construction. Minor touch ups were needed, but didn't interfere with the pleasure. This cigar is one I'd share with my friends. I'll seek this out and add it to my humidor." -Sean F. (fullermaine)

"Simply put I really enjoyed this cigar. The vitola and profile is the one that I reach for in the humidor. It had some great bold notes to it but still had some sweetness throughout. The strength sneaks up on you towards the end. So make sure you had some food and maybe a Mexican coke nearby." -Quinn (quinnpins269)
