“I really enjoyed this cigar. It had just enough transitions to keep me interested and just kept getting better as I went along. There was a lot of creamy coco, brown sugar, leather, hay, and woodiness notes that all worked together in a really nice way. I would suggest trying one for yourself. ” -Jeff (ExpendableYouth)

Blind Cigar Review: Carolina Blue | Maduro Toro

by Zane G. | Aug 10, 2018 | Alan, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Dominican Republic, Featured, John A., Maduro, Mexican San Andres, Mickey T., Ryan H., Toro | 0 |

“This was a very full bodied cigar. I know that I am more sensitive to nicotine and pepper than most, but it wasn’t overpowering or unpleasant for me. If I hadn’t just eaten before I’m not sure if my opinion would be the same. The flavors were rich but didn’t have a real evolution throughout. If you’re a fan of rich full bodied cigars this is a great choice, but I would need to be prepared to smoke something this powerful again. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

“Overall this was a solid performing smoke. A bit full bodied and strong for sure, make sure you have something in your stomach before smoking this bad boy, it will hit you going into the second half. Flavors were spot on for a full bodied smoke and diverse enough to make it interesting. Try one out, may be your next full bodied goto!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Quick Cigar Review: Foundation | Menelik

by Emmett | May 14, 2018 | All, Corojo, Featured, Foundation Cigar, Maduro, Nicholas Melillo, Robusto | 0 |

Draw, burn, and construction were spot on and should be a mile marker what the quality of how a cigar should be rolled and constructed. The flavor profiles of chocolate, coffee, and leather appeared to be the dominate flavor profiles throughout the cigar which provided a nice relaxing experience. While I did not pair it with anything, a mocha latte or hot chocolate would pair wonderfully with this cigar as they would compliment each other immensely. Complexity was not in full force, however the profile was enjoyable enough to keep me happy throughout the duration of the session. Definitely something you should pick up if ever given the chance to attend a Foundation event!

Blind Cigar Review: Crowned Heads | Headley Grange Black Dog Dobles

“This was a not a flavor profile that fit my wheelhouse. Having said that, for someone who likes hazelnut and some black licorice this will be a decent cigar for them. I didn’t like the bitterness of the cigar but it did progress into a tartness that wasn’t distasteful to me. I would have thought the cigar would be stronger than it was given the types of flavors but it remained a medium to full, on the more medium side for me. A decent smoke for a specific palette.” –Diana (ArmyRN)

by Emmett | Mar 2, 2018 | Alan, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Featured, IPCPR, Isaac M., John I., Maduro, Nicaragua, Pennsylvania Broadleaf, Robert Holt, Robusto, Southern Draw, Stefan | 0 |

“Really impressive cigar, the initial blast of flavor was exceptional. The sweetness toward the middle became a little bit monotonous, but the deep rich flavors throughout the final were excellent.” -John I. (John I.)

by Zane G. | Feb 16, 2018 | Adam B., All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Daniel S., Derek, Diana, Featured, Jeff, Jeremy Jack, Maduro, Mexican San Andres, Nicaragua, Robusto | 0 |

“This was a great cigar. All of the favors really stood out and were crisp and clean. The profile changes happened often enough that I never got bored and was always looking forward to the next third. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a medium-full cigar with a lot of character. ” -Jeff (ExpendableYouth)

“As ugly as this cigar was, it goes to show that you can’t judge a book by the cover. The flavors were so good. There was complexity, and yet consistent notes that pulled everything together. I would gladly reach for this cigar again. ” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

by Zane G. | Feb 9, 2018 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Corona Gorda, Crowned Heads, Don Pepin Garcia, Featured, Habano, Jon Huber, Maduro, Nicaragua | 0 |

“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)
