Blind Cigar Review: Villiger | La Vencedora Churchill
“Just in terms of flavor this was actually a very good cigar. The smoke output was creamy, the draw was nice if I held it just right, and it burned well even with an almost destroyed wrapper. The size was very large though and with the lack of profile changes did make it a bit one dimensional.” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Alec Bradley | Nica Puro Churchill
“This is a cigar that is for sure “meaty”. The flavor profile, while not overly strong, persey, is solid. Right at the top of the Med/Full range in strength and body. Smoking this made me want to prep a Tomahawk steak for the grill. This would be a good pairing with a steak dinner for sure, as well as a nice smoky Single Malt. It produces copious amounts of smoke that you can “chew”! It is a big, cigar, so make sure that you set aside a good 2 hours to smoke it. Definitely a cigar for more experienced smokers, and something I will definitely keep in my humidor” -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

Blind Cigar Review: Vallorani | Trump 2020 Churchill
“This to me was just a fantastic smoke. Super rich and chewy all the way to the end. The musty tobacco aroma played nice with the beginning flavors from the cigar. It just felt right in your hand. The roasted flavors mixed with the chocolate and molasses was amazing.” -Jake P. (Jake P.)

Blind Cigar Review: Ventura | Archetype Dreamstate Churchill
“I really enjoyed this cigar and was quite taken with the baking flavors that I experienced. This was a really relaxing cigar for me. Perhaps because the notes of butter, fresh dough, cinnamon, cedar, pecans and toasty tobacco, gave me the sensation of hanging out in an old fashioned kitchen with cookies baking in the oven. ” -Diana (ArmyRN)

Blind Cigar Review: MLB Cigar Ventures | David P. Ehrlich PLM Series Churchill
“Definitely an easy going smoke. Medium to full bodied flavors of oak, leather, light black pepper and a bit of sweetness made for a nice enjoyable smoke. It seemed like eternity to finish this long sized cigar, so I did get a bit bored and would probably enjoy it in a smaller format. Not bad at all, give them a try!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana | La Volcada
“Phew, after smoking this I need a nap… it was strong! Quite a bit of flavors going on at the start but this mellows out into a standard flavor profile as the pure strength of this smoke overwhelmed what other complexities there could have been. If you want a full full full flavored and nic buzz, hey try this out would ya? I enjoyed it, but not something I could smoke quite often!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Ventura | Case Study CS/01 Churchill
“I tend toward fuller bodied cigars generally, and much smaller vitolas as a rule, but I enjoyed the hell out of this beast for the full ride. I lit this late on a Saturday morning, and it paired wonderfully with a couple extra cups of dark roasted coffee well into the early afternoon. I’d strongly suggest that you do likewise. ” -John I.

Blind Cigar Review: Dram | Cask No. 3 Churchill
“I really really really enjoyed this cigar. I have no guesses what it is because it hasn’t reminded me of anything I have had before, but if the price is right I will definitely be picking some up. The flavors were changing and complex, especially for a churchill. the flavor profile was right up my alley and if the other reviewers had a similar experience, I expect a high score.” –Emmett (BMP_Emmett)
