Blind Cigar Review: My Father | Fonseca Cedros
“Overall, this was a VERY consistent flavored stick throughout the entire experience. Omnipresent notes of leather exist the whole time, which minor deviations throughout, most notably the nutty presence at the end, which was yum. Burn and construction were spots on the entire time without any flaws at all while the draw slightly learned on the loose side. Not a bad stick, one of the better ones I’ve had lately, however, it didn’t overly impress me and was a slightly better for an average cigar on the market today.” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Gurkha | Nicaragua Series Toro
“If the end didn’t fall a bit flat I’d say this is a very well done cigar. The notes are very classical to me and it smoked effortlessly. I wouldn’t recommend running out and buying a box but if I wanted a solid smoke while having a chat or playing a game I think it would do nicely. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Perdomo | Reserve 10th Anniversary Box-Pressed Maduro Epicure
“Overall a very delightful stick with many enjoyable profiles I lean towards. The first third was the absolute best part of this stick, while the remaining second half was pretty stagnant in terms of complexity, this is still one of the better sticks I have reviewed lately. Burn and construction were top-notch, especially for this pressed cigar. Definitely a pickup and try stick, this could be in my rotation easily.” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust | Sobremesa Brûlée Blue
“Hot damn that was good is what is coming to mind when I think back on the experience. Just ticked off a ton of boxes for what I look for in a top tier cigar. The flair, flavor, creamy smoke output, and just the right hit of nicotine all make this a winner for me. Easily falls in my top ten for the year. Can’t recommend this enough.” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Diesel | Estelí Puro Robusto
“I know plenty of people that would love this cigar from beginning to end. I personally just had that little trouble with the last half of the last third and it is really hard to find a word the best describes the turmoil the only word I could come up with is bitter but that isnt a fair description of the situation. Because the profile was balanced throughout the whole experience, maybe just too full for me would be a better description.” -Ryan H. (Ryan H.)

Blind Cigar Review: Crowned Heads | Four Kicks Capa Especial Corona Gorda
“At first, I really didn’t know if I was going to enjoy this one. The flavors were very good but the finish in the first third was throwing me off. Once the finish settled though, I really enjoyed this one. I’d definitely smoke this one again. The perfect pairing for me would be nice smooth bourbon or dark beer.” -James H. (Keikan Jim)

Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | BOTL 2020 Lancero
“I am usually not a huge fan of Lanceros. However, this one could convert me. Box worthy for sure if the price was right although I expect this to be a super premium.” -James H. (Keikan Jim)

Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Herrera Esteli Habano Edicion Limitada Lancero
“It is a great lancero. The flavors were bold and crisp with enough strength to provide body and depth. I realize that I forgot to mention this earlier but the smoke output was fantastic and the ash had a constant plume of smoke coming off of it. It’s an easy recommendation for me and worth picking up a fiver. ” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: Joya de Nicaragua | Número Uno Le Premier
“This cigar is my gig. Nice mild-medium bodied profile flavors of oak, vanilla, cream, custard, sweet milk caramels and the slightest bit of pepper to give this cigar great character. With unmatched smoothness, this is a cigar I could enjoy time after time after time. If this cigar remains consistent across multiple samples, I would definitely recommend buying these buy the box as it was truly a fantastic smoking experience!” -John A. (Bostoneo)

Blind Cigar Review: Drew Estate | Undercrown Shade Corona Pequeña
“This was an excellent cigar for the size and time commitment. Sometimes you just need a cigar for 40-50 minutes but still want a kick in the teeth. I definitely got that here. I’d be interesting in picking more of these up to add to my rotation.” -Doug S. (Unpossible_1)

Blind Cigar Review: Cohiba | Royale Toro
“Overall, a decent cigar with very good flavors, body, and some decent complexity. I’d smoke this one if it is affordable as an everyday smoke, but not something I’d load up on boxes with. Definitely worth checking out though!” -John A. (Bostoneo)
