Drew Estate Blackened S84 Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"It does a lot of things right with a fantastic with creamy smoke and great construction. The first and third notes were very bold and rich while the middle felt a bit muddled. It is a solid morning smoke and is strong enough to hold up to a strong drink. Worth a shot to see how how you enjoy it." -Alan (Eulogy)

Lampert The Gatsby – Blind Cigar Review

"Though this cigar started a little unbalanced, it definitely kept getting better as I got through it. With a moderate level of complexity, and smooth transitions, it held my interest pretty well. I’d smoke one again, and honestly think that a bit of rest might even out the first third a bit. I’ll be curious to see who produced this blend." -Chris M. (Chris)

"This is a cigar that really grew on me. For an evening smoke, I was hoping for something that had a bit more punch but the flavors were so crisp I fell in love with it. It isn't something that would stand up to a strong drink late at night but if you really want an amazing cigar with clean flavors this is it. " -Alan (Eulogy)

"This was a very enjoyable cigar from start to finish. There was a decent amount of complexity. The transitions flowed seamlessly, and the flavors were solid. I don’t always go for oak (or any wood) heavy cigars, but the balancing flavors did their job well. This is one I could easily rotate in on occasion. You definitely need a good chunk of time to enjoy this one." -Chris M. (Chris)

"Something about this cigar blend was a superstar for me. I often found myself smoking too fast because I was enjoying the blend so much. Leather was the star backbone of the blend from the first puff until the last. There was some great complexity first, with cedar sweetness and a slight white pepper on the retro. Then, some hazelnut and subtle baking spice notes as the blend progressed. I would smoke this again and look forward to discovering what it was." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

Saga Golden Age Yamasá Gran Corona – Blind Cigar Review

"I feel like this cigar may have been a little young or ran into some issues during its aging. The opening has a strong sour flavor, and the finish is dry and chalky. It gave me classic signs of a young stick. While smokable, and I didn't have to put it down, the only flavor I could get between those two issues was a nice classic light earthy flavor. I'd like to try this stick again with six months to a year of age on it to see if that was the issue." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)
