Blind Cigar Review: Esteban Carreras | Chupacabra Toro

"The appearance of this cigar is extraordinary. The wrapper color is dark brown, slightly mottled, but evenly applied with no big veins. The pigtail cap and closed foot are the icing on the cake. The wrapper has no tooth and is pretty soft to the touch." -Emmett (rhetorik)

Blind Cigar Review: Exactus | Puro Ambar Short Coloso

"Overall, the cigar started off pretty good for me. After it lost most of the spice, which was early on, it seemed to stay the same during the last two thirds. It became pretty mild overall, but was a nice creamy smoke with some sweetness. It was just OK for me, nothing spectacular." -Wes (SosaCub4Life)

Blind Cigar Review: Nomad | C-276 Toro Grande

"Normally, "one dimensional" would be used as a way to complain about a cigar, but in this case it is not. The one dimension presented was very good. Flavors were solid and construction was great. I'd be interested in picking some more of these up for sure." -Dave (mdwest)

Blind Cigar Review: Esteban Carreras | Habano Toro

"Slightly burnt caramel on the palate with baking spices on the retrohale were the initial flavors to greet me. A light coffee lingered. Muted vanilla, oak and a touch of cedar combined with the caramel and baking spices. Not much spice on the retro after the first 1/2 inch." -Gregg (McGreggor57)

Blind Cigar Review: La Gran Llave | Connecticut Robusto

"This was a fantastic cigar. There was a lot going on with it. It was very creamy with cedar notes along with a sugary sweetness that lingered on my lips and to top that off there was a yeast doughnut flavor on the retro! C'mon! Pick up a box now! I just know this would have paired wonderfully with a cup of coffee on a Sunday morning. " -Mickey T. (irratebass)

Blind Cigar Review: Man O’ War | Ruination Robusto No. 1

"This is a very good cigar and it is very good because it is unique. The first half of the cigar exhibited oak, peat and moss and other very enjoyable flavors. The retro had a flirting chocolate and a cream kaboom in the 3/3. Age this cigar and dollars to donuts you'll be rewarded. Dank flavor cigar. 88-90 right now. 90-92 with age potential. " -Matt C.

"As a whole, this cigar was a very pleasant wine and crackers smoke. The initial cocoa and finish of the leather notes was very enjoyable. Most things about this cigar had high end status about them. The flavor profile was quite enjoyable and the light and go and no worry was excellent. Great job to the cigar company that put this out. Grab some if you can because you will enjoy." -Steve (ThaGreatWazoo)
