Blind Cigar Review: Villiger | San’Doro Claro Toro Revisited

by Emmett | Jun 14, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Eric, Featured, IPCPR, Mickey T., Natural, Nicaragua, Steve, Villiger, Wes | 0 |

“I am not a big fan of overly mild to mild-medium cigars. This one made me change my outlook. From the initial appearance and feel to the smoke throughout each third, this cigar was definitely one for everyone. Whether smoking in the morning with coffee, lunchtime with a soda or lemonade, or after dinner with some scotch or bourbon, this cigar will deliver a tremendous experience to enjoy. Grab these and just sit back and relax.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: La Flor Dominicana | Air Bender Maduro Chisel

by Emmett | May 8, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Brazilian, Dominican Republic, Featured, Gregg, Habano, IPCPR, La Flor Dominicana, Litto Gomez, Matthew T., Sandeep, Steve, Torpedo | 0 |

“I wanted to rate this cigar higher. The beginning and middle had some really nice flavors coming through. The smoke output on each draw was plentiful. The oily wrapper and chisel tip made it easy to smoke. All that, and then the final third hit a brick wall. Relights galore and harsh flavors just made the overall rating from me fall off a cliff. I would hope this stick was an anomaly in an otherwise solid blend. If I had stopped after the second third I would be happy.” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

Blind Cigar Review: Inca | Secret Blend Imperio

by Emmett | Apr 17, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Featured, Gregg, Inca, Mickey T., Mitchell Orchant, Sandeep, Steve | 0 |

“This was a very middle of the road smoke for me. There were no inspiring moments during the smoking experience. Very bland with a daunting size. I am not a bigger ring gauge cigar guy, but for the build, this cigar was better than most larger sticks.” -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

“I really enjoyed this cigar. Even though it was a bit one dimensional, it had very good flavors and it’s size made for a nice quick smoke. I would definitely smoke another one of these if I was given an opportunity.” –Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: J. Fuego | Connoisseur Originals

by Emmett | Mar 27, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Craig, Featured, Gregg, Honduras, J. Fuego, J. Fuego, Natural, Steve, Sumatra, Wes | 0 |

“This was a really nice cigar. After the first few draws, the cigar really picked up and the flavors came through. They were rich and full flavors that had a medium body and complexity. The cigar smoked well and was very easy by just lighting and going. I was initially worried about the look of this cigar, but it smoked quite well.” –Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)

Blind Cigar Review: Martinez | Pasión 654

by Emmett | Mar 22, 2017 | Alan, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Derek, Featured, Martinez Cigars, Natural, Ryan, Steve, Toro, USA | 0 |

“The construction really held this cigar back. It was loose, spongy to the touch, and difficult to draw from. The flavors, while not great, were average and it did build to a nice finish.” -Alan (Eulogy)

Blind Cigar Review: H. Upmann | Yargüera Lonsdale

by Emmett | Mar 10, 2017 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Derek, Eric, Featured, Grupo de Maestros, H. Upmann, Honduras, IPCPR, Jeff R., Lonsdale, Natural, Steve | 0 |

“Overall, this was a great cigar. The transitions were interesting, I loved the move from pepper and spice to rich and creamy. It’s not one that stands out as mind-blowing, but it was enjoyable throughout, and I would very much enjoy smoking more.” -Derek (StogieNinja)

Blind Cigar Review: Herrera Esteli | Toro Especial Tubo

by Emmett | Dec 9, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Drew Estate, Featured, Gregg, Habano, Herrera Esteli, IPCPR, Kent, Natural, Nicaragua, Sandeep, Steve, Toro, Willy Herrera | 0 |

“This cigar offered up a nice balanced mix of cedar and coffee throughout. Some cocoa, orange zest and leather kept me engaged while the bookend pepper was a nice addition. Maybe not a special occasion smoke, it’s certainly one to keep on hand.” -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: Foundry | Time Flies 550

by Emmett | Dec 2, 2016 | Adam B., AJ Fernandez, All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Featured, Foundry, Habano, IPCPR, Jeff, Natural, Nicaragua, Robusto, Steve | 2 |

“The roller did an excellent job with this one. Both great to look at and a great performer. I don’t think construction could be improved on.” -Dave W. (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: La Gloria Cubana | Serie RF No. 13

by Emmett | Nov 28, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Featured, Habano, IPCPR, Natural | 0 |

“One draw issue aside, this was an excellent smoke, one I really, really hope in on the bargain side of things so I can stock up, but I’m guessing it’s likely a premium. Overall it was well constructed, burned great, had excellent thick smoke output, and really well balanced flavor. One I will definitely seek out again, regardless of price! Highly recommended.” -Derek (StogieNinja)

Blind Cigar Review: Jas Sum Kral | Red Knight Lancero

by Emmett | Nov 9, 2016 | All, Blind Cigar Reviews, Dave, Featured, Habano, Jas Sum Kral, Lancero, Matt C., Matthew T., Natural, Nicaragua, Steve | 5 |

“Aside from a couple minor touch-ups, the burn was good throughout. Considering how oily the wrapper was, that was pretty impressive. The ash was somewhat flaky, but it’s a lancero so that was expected.” -Matthew T. (A Huge Nerd)

Blind Cigar Review: Kafie 1901 | Don Fernando Maduro Torpedo

“I did not mind this cigar at all. It was fairly one noted, but that blend of leather and cashew work synergistically together to hit all of the right keys. I wouldn’t mind having one of these in the future paired with some espresso.” -Kent (Throck)
