Dapper Desvalido Disla Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"I enjoyed this cigar and look forward to seeing what it is so I can smoke it again. Though the opening black coffee flavor was almost too bitter for me, it transitioned into a smooth and spicy blend. By the final puffs that were very much reminiscent of Mexican chocolate, I hated having to finally put it down. " -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

Blind Cigar Review: Rodrigo | Boutique Blend G4

"The cigar with its ever changing flavor profile provided a complexity that I have not seen in a while other than in Ta'ts and LP's. I would recommend this and plan on getting a few for my humidor to age." -Sandeep (Djangos)

"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)

"I really enjoyed this cigar and would definitely add it to my routine repertoire. I’m not a big pepper fan but the amount of pepper in this cigar was perfect. Not overpowering but well balanced with the other flavors to create a cigar that consistently kept my attention but was also relaxing and smooth. This is a great cigar for either an intermediate or experienced cigar smoker." -Diana (ArmyRN)

"This was really a nice smoke for me that came at just the right time...mellow flavors (albeit plenty) that nailed my palate perfectly today. I typically like more fullness in the strength, but this was a nice switch. Perfect for the morning, or for the first of a couple smokes. Personally, I'd like a few more!" -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

Platinum Nova Leo 11 Edition Limitada Nicaragua – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall, this blend has the potential of being a big hit. Whilst it created large plumes of smoke, the construction was big on the loose side, creating burn issues where the cigar’s exterior had a hard time staying lit. Wonderful medium-bodied notes of oak, vanilla, various peppercorns, and malty sweetness provided an intriguing profile that kept me coming back for more. While the construction issue may be a one-off, I would recommend trying this stick out." -John A. (Bostoneo)
