ACE Prime Fiat Lux by Luciano Intuitions – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar is all about the delicate transitions! There were quite a few of them in this small cigar. If you are looking for a kick in the teeth, this cigar is not for you. But, if you like light, delicate, and sweet flavor notes this is for you. Would pair perfectly with your morning coffee or any rum-based cocktail. I'm sure a few of these cigars will find it into my personal humidor and hopefully yours too. Enjoy" -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Aging Room Rare Collection Scherzo – Blind Cigar Review

"From beginning to end this cigar performed like a rock star. The transitions in flavors from section to section kept my interest and the flavors were exactly what I look for in a cigar. Cocoa, baking spices, leather, and salted nuts all worked in unison to create a truly enjoyable experience. I would definitely recommend this cigar to anyone. Thanks for the chance to smoke it!" -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Alec Bradley Nica Puro Rosado Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"Until that last third I would have said that this was a fairly linear cigar with minimal transition. The last third saved it a little bit but I’m not sure most people would have stuck around for it. I would have been one of them. If you are a fan of a light, liner cigar this will be for you. I’ll be interested to see what this cigar is so I can give it another shot." -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

Artista Harvest Robusto (Pre Release) – Blind Cigar Review

"I loved the flavor of this blend despite the few issues I ran into while smoking it. The earthy graham cracker flavor with a hint of opening chocolate set the tone. Then the introduction of the cinnamon and baking spice put the flavor into a unique and delicious experience. I smoked it until I couldn't hold it and wished it had been a longer cigar. I'm hoping a future trial of whatever this stick is would not have the opening draw and ending burn issues I ran into." -Lauren S. (Lauren S.)

"I have to say, that personally, this cigar hit every high note. All flavor notes were balanced and complimented each well. The size might intimidate some but if they give it a shot they will be pleasantly surprised like I was. I really hope that people give this cigar a chance. I will for sure be seeking this out once I know what it is. " -Estevan Z. (TheRealBanzi)

ACE Prime The Sergeant – Blind Cigar Review

"This cigar is meant to be smoked. Allowing it to sit for long causes the flavors to dissipate. Keep it hot and it will deliver. And that is where the problem comes. You have to keep on this cigar to keep the flavors rolling. I think if I had kept on this cigar, puffing at much faster than my normal rate, not only would I have found more enjoyable flavors, it would have also significantly shortened its already fast smoking time. While I quite enjoyed the first third, the rest of this cigar just couldn't satisfy. " -Isaac M. (The Nothing)

AJ Fernandez New World Dorado Toro – Blind Cigar Review

"Really nice flavor package. The only thing that keeps me from sending the ratings to the top of the scale is the overall dryness of the smoke, the unbalanced pepper on the retrohale, and the draw that was to the loose side of perfect. But all things considered those deductions are a bit nitpicky. I’ll definitely be buying more of this." -Bill C. (Bill)

"This cigar was one of the best cigars I've tried in recent memory. I loved the vitola and the flavors I got, from espresso to dark chocolate to leather and some black pepper thrown in for good measure. Each one hit my palate in the sweet spot. Very anxious to see what this is so I can buy some for myself. Thanks for the opportunity!" -Kevin J. (maninblack77)

Artista Midnight Robusto (Pre Release) – Blind Cigar Review

"This was a rich earthy coffee cigar with side flavor notes or cabinet spice, cherry stone fruit, and nutty flavor. The cigar has a strong mouthfeel that coats the palate. Huge smoke bomb of a cigar producing a ton of smoke. Retrohale was at first super spicy red pepper and cinnamon and then calms down towards the end of the smoke." -Chad M. (Chad Tchad)

"This cigar, although milder than I'm used to, was a very impressive performer with the construction and the flavors presented that worked so well. I'd try this again as a morning cigar or one I'd try with a fresh palate to really discern the flavors and aromas. I'd recommend this to new and seasoned smokers alike." -Kevin J. (maninblack77)
