Blind Cigar Review: Camacho | Nicaraguan Barrel-Aged Toro

"I don't always reach for the cigar with the herb and spice notes, however this one was very enjoyable. The flavors stayed away from an overwhelming spice flavor, and just teased the palate with welcomed flavors. Overall this was a great smoke that will be enjoyed again after the reveal. The strength allows this cigar to be enjoyed by the novice and the connoisseur. " -Adam B. (Bushboy)

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

"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: Inca | Secret Blend Imperio

"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)

Blind Cigar Review: J. Fuego | Connoisseur Originals

“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)

"This was a good looking cigar that was enjoyable for the first two thirds. The final third fell a bit short as the cigar got hot and bitter. Would be interested too see what some age does to these. " -Zane G. (Zane)

Blind Cigar Review: Hoyo | La Amistad by AJ Fernandez Robusto

"Overall this was a good smoke. I think this would not be a good first cigar of the day, but if you had a full day of smoking this would be a nice 2nd or 3rd stick of the day. Just beware it does pick up the spice in the final 1/3rd and through the whole 2nd third, but becomes a nice pleasant smoke at the end." -Mickey T. (irratebass)

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

"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)

The ultimate in our Pasión experience, the 654 is the boldest of this incredible line. Featuring an aged blend of Nicaraguan long filler tobaccos and wrapped in a spicy Nicaraguan leaf, this medium to full bodied cigar was crafted specifically for those who demand the ultimate in flavor, smoke and enjoyment. It’s bold, easy draw gives way to the characteristic complex, spicy notes with strong peppery hints.

Blind Cigar Review: Martinez | Pasión 654

"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)
