Lovely Cigars No. 162 Churchill – Blind Cigar Review

"What started out as a promising but went south quickly. Relight after relight, touch up after touch caused for a near unsmokable experience. It is hard to judge a line of cigar by smoking one so I will revisit it another time to see if this was a one off experience or what this line will be." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Fratello Vice Versa (Mild) – Blind Cigar Review

"I love the times where a cigar offers up a simple experience and it fits just right for my palate. This was a slow burning and long session of two and half hours, but I enjoyed every moment of it. The amazing part was it finished with a complexity that caught me off guard and was a nice little reward. Satisfaction was achieved here today." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

Davidoff Chefs Edition 2021 – Quick Cigar Review

I have always enjoyed the idea/premise of the chef's editions. Everyone loves a good cigar pairing be it a pairing with bourbon, whiskey, beer, or even my favorite. Coffee. One thing we do not get a chance to do is pair cigars with food as it's not easily done in today's world. I was excited to see the chef's for this year's edition as it has Masa Takayama on the panel who by all rights is very much a true cigar smoker. You can't google his name without stumbling across him with a cigar. I have had the pleasure of smoking the chef's editions the last few years and this hands down is the best yet.

Crowned Heads Mother Church JR 50th Anniversary – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar was a most excellent after dinner cigar. It embodied almost exactly what you'd want from a dessert cigar. No I'm not talking about that artificial sweetness you get from flavored cigars, but instead I'm talking about the richness and perfect body that hits just right. On top of that, it is so well made that I found myself admiring it while smoking it. Definitely the highlight of my day and would not be opposed to picking up more." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

Fratello Vice Versa (Full) – Blind Cigar Review

"I wanted to really give high praise for this cigar. When doing a blind review and coming across something so familiar, it almost gets your hopes up too much. The anticipation and buildup can end up having the opposite effect of one you'd expect. Fortunately, this wasn't completely the case for me. Sure, there were some issues related to construction, but I do feel like it was able to overcome them and give me an experience I would not mind repeating. With flavors like salt, sweet tobacco and marzipan blending together in harmony, this worked out well for me." -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

Oscar Valladares McFly Churchill – Blind Cigar Review

"I enjoyed this cigar it kept giving me notes of sweet tobacco, coffee, German chocolate cake, and even some cream soda at the end. This cigar started out nice with the sweetness then let up and brought in the wood and earthy notes, but the sweetness never left and even returned at the end. I will let you know dear readers that this does require some time commitment. I wouldn't suggest you smoke this cigar in the elements unless it's a nice spring or fall day." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

German Engineered Cigars NN01 – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar was simply phenomenal. An incredibly unique flavor profile that maintained a perfect balance throughout and was supported by a flawlessly constructed cigar and perfect draw. The flavor transitions were massive in the first third and, although the evolution showed down the further it smoked, the flavors of honey, green apple, buttered toffee, and cream were bright, crisp, and balanced. I would absolutely seek this cigar to smoke again." -Vance T. (Vance)

"The flavors were plenty good just a few unwanted notes that didn't go well with the rest of the profile. Draw was great, construction on the other hand and burn suffered greatly. Depending on price point I would smoke again." -Ryan H. (Ryan H.)
