Blind Cigar Review: E.P. Carrillo | Edición Limitada 2011 “Dark Rituals”

"This was a great cigar with nice bold flavors and great performance technically. My only complaint was that I wish the final third had offered a bit more, but that's minor and I would certainly have some more. I could easily recommend this as a medium bodied late evening smoke with great dark espresso flavors and wood background." -Emmett (rhetorik)

Quick Cigar Review: Saga | Blend No. 7 Perfecto

Saga is a brand from Corporación Cigar Export, which is run by the Reyes family. The naming of this line is very simple as the end result was from the 7th blend that they tried, so they applied the name to the cigar. The cigar has a Brazilian Cubra wrapper, Dominican binder and Central American and Dominican filler.

Blind Cigar Review: Arandoza | White Robusto

"More pepper showed up as it neared the end, bringing both strength and heat to the cigar. The oak flavor faded a bit, taking the cocoa with it as the coffee and leather flavors moved toward the front and provided a great finish to the cigar." -Ron (shuckins)

Editorial: Thoughts on IPCPR 2014

I thought I would take an opportunity to put down some of my thoughts and observations from the IPCRPR 2014 show that was held in Las Vegas this past week. Just to be clear, these are my thoughts and opinions and do not necessarily reflect those of Blind Man's Puff or any other member of the team here.

Blind Cigar Review: Romeo y Julieta (Dominican) | Habana Reserve Churchill

"I don't normally smoke much in the way of "big" cigars. Anything that takes longer than about 90 minutes to smoke usually wont keep my attention. This cigar did a pretty good job of keeping me interested though and was nice to smoke. I don't know if its close enough to my normal "likes" for me to run out and make a purchase on, but I would certainly re-visit it down the road and give it another shot." -Dave (mdwest)

Quick Cigar Review: Boutique Blends | La Bohéme Pittore

This was a very nice cigar. There were a core set of flavors that made many transitions throughout. Lots of pepper in the initial third along with cedar and cream. Some sweetness went in and out and the mineral flavor that showed up in the second half of the cigar was a welcome addition. The performance was fantastic and allowed me to just focus on the flavors. A good amount of strength along with the fuller body would make me recommend this as an evening cigar after a meal or as a second or later cigar in the day.

Quick Cigar Review: Maya Selva | Villa Zamorano El Gordo

I have to say that for a $3.50 cigar this could easily be a daily smoke if you find the flavors in your wheelhouse. Lots of interesting transitions through each of the thirds. Performance was fantastic and really just capped off an excellent smoking experience. I would highly recommend that you pick some up and see if they are a fit for your humidor.

"This was a pretty good cigar overall...I think a little more rest would smooth out the harsh spots and make this a great cigar. I would be glad to own another, or even a fiver to let rest and revisit." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)
