Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | Barrel Aged by Karl Malone Robusto

"Pretty solid medium bodied cigar. Not fully my cup of tea, but there were aspects of it that I certainly enjoyed. The transitions from the early portion to the mid portion as well as the mid range to the finale were also really elegant. The final portion was really the best part for my taste, and it wasn't really a chore to get there." -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: Aging Room | Bin No. 2 C Major

"Loved it, perfect way to wind down after a day of screaming kids and dealing with broken cars. I don't drink much so I compare flavors to what would pair well with my drink of choice which is coffee, and let me tell you, this was a perfect match. Only issue I had was, I wanted another. Great smoke, great experience." -Joseph S. (Bearded Bastard)

Blind Cigar Review: J.C. Newman | Diamond Crown Black Diamond Marquis

"It’s a straight forward inoffensive cigar, with few transitions and not a lot of complexity by anyone’s definition. But with solid construction and those very prominent core flavors I found myself enjoying it. Retrohaling is a must with this one!" -Matt Cade (CADE)

"This is a cigar I really want to buy several boxes of. From start to finish it was a winner. Flavors were on point and complex. Construction was impeccable. I'd give this an 'Extraordinary'. Definitely multi box worthy." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Blind Cigar Review: Villiger | La Libertad Robusto

"This cigar is a grower not a shower. Don’t let the sub optimal appearance deceive you, there’s interesting flavors here that develop over the course of 75 minutes. Even the cracking of the wrapper in the final third didn’t take away from smoking experience. All I ask is that a cigar doesn’t bore me and this stogie isn’t boring by a long shot. The lesson - don’t judge a book by its cover folks." -Matt Cade (CADE)
