Room101 Johnny Tobacconaut Robusto – Blind Cigar Review

"This was an enjoyable cigar from start to finish. Nothing stood out in the flavor profile, but it was all solid. This would be a great day starter, as it could easily be smoked on an empty stomach. I will be adding these to my usual rotation for sure! " -Kevin A. (Kevin A.)

Blind Cigar Review: Espinosa | Murcielago Robusto

"This was a pretty long smoke for a robusto, taking almost an hour and a half to complete. I enjoyed this one a lot and intentionally smoked it slow and cool. Very nice flavors and great performance. I'll be seeking this one out again for sure. " -Dave W. (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Iconic Leaf | Recluse Amadeus Habano Reserva Lancero

"If I were to make my own cigar, it would look much like this. It was almost painful to put this cigar down. The savory qualities kept me coming back to it, distracting me from other things (like the kiddo crying about her ball rolling into the street.) It wouldn't be hard to put this cigar into regular rotation, and when this is posted, I'll probably find a box. While there wasn't a whole lot of transition in flavors, what flavors it has keeps you coming back for more." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

CAO Arcana Mortal Coil – Blind Cigar Review

"Holy hell, three hours to smoke a Toro? Sure was! And it was a great one at that. It had great flavors, good transitions, and kept my interest going, somehow, for that long. The entirety of this cigar is better than its components. Each third, when broken down, doesn't score as well to me as the entire experience. This isn't a cigar I could smoke on a daily basis because, frankly, I don't have three hours every day to enjoy a cigar. However when I find such occasion you bet I will fire this one up again.

Blind Cigar Review: Black Label Trading Company | Bishop’s Blend Corona Larga

"This cigar was, well, outstanding to me. This is something I could enjoy at any time and could even be something that I'd smoke very regularly. The flavors caught my attention at the beginning and the constant evolution kept me coming back for more. It was a surprisingly long smoking cigar with made it that much better." -Isaac M.

"Though a milder cigar, the flavors were interesting enough to keep me satisfied throughout the experience; I wouldn't hesitate to smoke another one of these, given the opportunity. Would pair well with medium-roast coffee or a nice porter or lager. " -Nate H. (SineQuaNon)

Blind Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana | 25th Anniversary

"I enjoyed this quite a lot. Nice change from my usual flavor preferences as well as being out of my comfort zone in terms of vitola. Served as a nice reminder to get out of your comfort zone once in a while. There's a great big world of cigar opportunities out there and it's nice to step out of your normal routine from time to time. This cigar stayed pretty much in the medium realm throughout in terms of strength and complexity. The display of really nicely refined baked good flavor, floral qualities, finishing with rich dark woody notes offered a nice range of experiences. Aside from some mid-smoke missteps in construction this was a real joy of a cigar. " -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: AVO | Syncro South America Ritmo Toro

"In terms of flavor, this would likely be a good introductory cigar for a novice. The flavor profile is light, accessible and pleasant. Creamy, floral and mild mannered with a bit of a kick toward the end. Anyone with an interest in experiencing cigars would likely be impressed. The construction problems would be a drawback for a newcomer however." -John I. (John I.)

"This was a very good cigar with excellent burn and flavor transitions. I would definitely smoke this one again. At first, I thought this was going to be a quick smoke, however, it continued to burn well beyond what I expected. Pair with coffee, English Brown or Lightly pleated Scotch. " -James H. (Keikan Jim)

Blind Cigar Review: Fratello | Arlequín Prensado Toro

"Fairly one dimensional with a flavor profile hovering around sweet and leathery. All of that was nice enough, but definitely a milder cigar than I generally prefer. I wouldn't be to quick to seek out more of these, but it would serve as a decent enough experience for a cigar novice. " -John I. (John I.)
