Sindicato Artista Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"On one hand this cigar is a master class on how to roll a cigar but it falls short in providing a good smoking experience in my book. I feel like it would benefit from some rest time. I would love to revisit it after 30, 60, or 90 days to see if it could push out some of the sharper flavor profile. Only time will tell. " -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Cayman Cigar Co. Sovereign No. 2 Corona – Blind Cigar Review

"I really enjoyed this cigar as a peppery cigar lover. The mix of the various pepper flavors and a sweet cedar and oak just blended perfectly on the palate. While not the most complex cigar the flavor was great and seemed to be perfect in this corona length. I will absolutely try to revisit the cigar in the future." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

Big Sky Bitterroot – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar, although milder than I'm used to, was a very impressive performer with the construction and the flavors presented that worked so well. I'd try this again as a morning cigar or one I'd try with a fresh palate to really discern the flavors and aromas. I'd recommend this to new and seasoned smokers alike." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Sancho Panza Extra Fuerte Robusto – Blind Cigar Review

"The creamy sweet milk chocolate notes that slowly evolved into a more bitter dark chocolate by the end along with the classic leather and earth background notes made a very old-school quality Maduro. There was some great complexity and interest with the nuttiness, molasses, baking spices, and hint of cinnamon that upped this blend to another level. I'd be interested to try this in a larger size to see if more time allowed for even more transitions." -Lauren S.

Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Mi Querida Black SakaKhan – Blind Cigar Review

"If it weren't for the fact that this cigar had me woozy, I'd rank it higher. I'd love to see this in a smaller vitola, perhaps a robusto or Corona Gorda. If you love these powerful cigars and have a couple of hours to kill, this cigar is definitely for you. Rich bold flavors with a ton of strength. Not sure I'd smoke this again, especially in this vitola. Anxious to see what this was. Happy holidays to all of our readers out there!!" -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Hiram & Solomon Châbal Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"Overall I did enjoy this blend and would smoke it again. The opening was a bit underwhelming with the pure mineral flavor, but as it warmed up and the toast and roasted nut flavors kicked in it became more enjoyable. The occasional citrus note did add a bit of interest which also helped." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

Codio The Clock – Blind Cigar Review

"From start to finish this cigar billows out a ton of smoke. Great complex dark flavors. Starts strong smokey molasses and hickory. Then middle and end notes of coffee and cocoa come in to develop some complex darker flavors. Retrohale started light black pepper and musty flavor with it converting to the end more intense black pepper and no musty flavor. " -Chad M. (Chad Tchad)

J.C. Newman Perla Del Mar Maduro Double Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"I would have rated the cigar higher if not for the last third. I feel like it ran out of steam. The flavor profile of the first two thirds was great with the dark rich notes but soon turned to just another run of the mill smoke. It is a shame really, the end was clearly not what the blender intended this cigar to be. I would give it another shot down the road." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Macanudo Inspirado Jamao Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"This is one of those cigars that might create problems with some smokers. The flowery ash and uneven burn might cause some to relight it too many times. This would change the flavor profile for most. If they can get past all of this they might enjoy the smoking experience. All that being said, this cigar is a “Don’t judge a book by its cover” kind of cigar. You should try it out and see what you think." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Artista Harvest Robusto (Pre Release) – Blind Cigar Review

"I loved the flavor of this blend despite the few issues I ran into while smoking it. The earthy graham cracker flavor with a hint of opening chocolate set the tone. Then the introduction of the cinnamon and baking spice put the flavor into a unique and delicious experience. I smoked it until I couldn't hold it and wished it had been a longer cigar. I'm hoping a future trial of whatever this stick is would not have the opening draw and ending burn issues I ran into." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
