Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Liga Privada 10 – Year Aniversario Toro

"This was a really nice practically full bodied cigar with rich flavors and enough nicotine to show you who's boss... That being said, the flavors were not something to destroy my palate and the finish was short enough that I could have smoked another cigar and still been able to enjoy it. I'm ready to purchase a few of these to keep on hand." -Jason H. (Jokey Smurf)

J.C. Newman Diamond Crown Maximus Robusto No. 5 – Blind Cigar Review

"This was a great cigar that changed on a few occasions. At times it was light and sweet then it would switch it up to a more darker, spicy, and rich profile. This is why blending is so important. When done right it can take you on a journey. This would make a great after-dinner cigar while you sit and reflect on the events of the day. I will be grabbing a few, once I know what it is, to have on hand to end my days with. " -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton T&T | Muestra de Saka Nacatamale

"Overall a very pleasant stick. Once it started mellowing out a little bit the cigar became a very nice smoke. This is one I'll be looking at more closely after the reveal, and would consider a box purchase on if the price is right. " -Dave W. (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Southern Draw | Rose of Sharon Desert Rose Lonsdale

"This is surely a solid choice for anybody looking for a mild smoke with a great body. I think it was the body that impressed me the most. It really gives full body on the palate but the flavors are still fairly light as is the strength. This could easily be an "any time" cigar that I will enjoy again. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

Blind Cigar Review: Maya Selva | Villa Zamorano Reserva Robusto

"This was a decent cigar although the lemon citrus notes almost became too much for me at one point. I enjoyed the woodiness and the hints of leafy vegetation and mild nuttiness that was there from time to time. I’d definitely try this cigar again, to re-evaluated the overall flavors and note any flavor changes with an improved draw." -Diana (ArmyRN)

Blind Cigar Review: La Aurora | Barrel Aged by Karl Malone Robusto

"Pretty solid medium bodied cigar. Not fully my cup of tea, but there were aspects of it that I certainly enjoyed. The transitions from the early portion to the mid portion as well as the mid range to the finale were also really elegant. The final portion was really the best part for my taste, and it wasn't really a chore to get there." -John I. (John I.)

Blind Cigar Review: Warped | La Colmena Black Honey

"Very solid cigar across the board. It won't change your life or make you feel as if you'd been touched by the hand of God, but it is a well constructed and tasty smoke. It doesn't require much effort to tease out and identify exotic flavors, or significant transitions, but what is there is very up front, and enjoyable. " -John I. (John I.)

"This Cigar was a fine smoke however it was not very complex and had a consistent flavor profile from the second third on. The draw was spot on and near perfect. I would probably purchase a five pack of the Cigar to keep in my humidor." -John A. (John A.)

Blind Cigar Review: HR | Blue Petite Edmundo

"Really good cigar. Solid core flavors, great initial flavor blast from the closed foot, and some interesting transitions along the way. There were a few minor construction issues, it wasn't tremendously nuanced and it got a little flat toward the end, but there's still good stuff happening here. I'd smoke a ton of these. " -John I.

Tatuaje 20th Anniversary Grand Chasseur – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar started out great. It had a remarkable flavor combination of graham cracker and leather that I would have otherwise wouldn't have seen coming. The burn was outstanding with nothing but a kiss of flame at the beginning to kick off a couple hours of enjoyment. Sadly, there was little flavor transition through the cigar until the flavors seemed to fall apart in the final third. I will likely give this cigar another shot, but not without at least a few months time in the humidor to rest." -Isaac M. (The Nothing)
