Blind Cigar Review: Padilla | Reserva Habano Torpedo

"The initial pepper was nice, but faded away too quickly. The oak flavor was nice and the transition to some creaminess was enjoyable. The retrohale transitions were nice as well. This is something I could see smoking again, but not something I would chase after." -Aaron (aaron72)

I was looking to blend a mild cigar and, during my research, I came across the sweet Connecticut wrapper on the Jaxx LT.”

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | S-307 Toro

“This cigar was so good, I would pick up a box of these in a heartbeat, two if it’s a limited edition. I’m guessing from the look and feel and the spice flavor profile that this is a Sumatra wrapper, my favorite. I’m not sure I’ve ever scored a cigar this high blind so I’m excited to see how the other reviewers see it. If everyone else had the same experience, this could be the highest scoring cigar ever, and it would deserve it. Kudos to whoever made this.” -Emmett (rhetorik)

Blind Cigar Review: Asylum | Straight Jacket Robusto

"I enjoyed the first third the most and hoped that that flavor would continue throughout the cigar. The spiciness was nice. The last two thirds transitioned to a less desirable, but not bad flavor. This would be a good cigar as the last cigar of the day or one to have after a meal. This is something that I would smoke again." -Aaron (aaron72)
