This year, we decided to give you a tour of the show through the pictures we took while we were there. Some are of new items, and some are just things we thought were interesting. These manufacturers were not sharing booth space, we just combined them into a single slideshow due to the number of pictures we had from each.

·"This was about as close as I have come to smoking the perfect cigar. I mean, it's hard to call the flavors perfect because everyone has a different preference, but this one was right up my alley. It was medium strength, but full flavored. The draw, burn and construction were impeccable. This may be my favorite cigar I have reviewed. I am blown away." -Emmett (BMP_Emmett)

"Pre-light I thought this was the perfect cigar for a morning smoke. I stand by the voices in my head. While the pepper in the first and final third overshadowed the other notes a bit, I could still pull out some other flavors. The balance was a little off but I think enjoying it with a cup of coffee may add what the cigar was missing." -Gregg (McGreggor57)
"The flavor transition was fantastic. Peppery, sweet and toasted... all my favorites. I will definitely be buying more of these after the reveal. Very good cigar and I could see myself enjoying these at any time of the day. Each pull left me wanting to immediately take another. Had to pace myself a bit." -Adam B. (Bushboy)
"Excellent cigar. Although not in my typical flavor wheelhouse, I appreciate a rich and powerful cigar. This will be great to smoke a couple of after a grilled fatty steak (like a bone in ribeye). This will probably also hold very well to whiskey, cutting some of the chili bite. I'd seek out a fiver." -Jiunn (jliu)

·“One word: Excellent. From its appearance, its aroma, its feel, the amount of smoke it produced, to its flavor profile…my palate went on a fun rollercoaster ride. I thoroughly enjoyed this blend. Whoever blended this cigar deserves a raise.” –Jeff R. (JR)

·"Regardless of the chocolate flavors disappearing, this was still an enjoyable cigar. The entire experience was like drinking a mocha. You start off with wonderful flavors of semi sweet chocolate and coffee only to have the chocolate slowly fade away. Over time the coffee became stronger and in the end you are left with the bitter coffee flavor and after-taste. I would love to have this one again and smoke with a mocha or flavored latte." -Eric (smalls29)

·"Very solid cigar across the board. It won't change your life or make you feel as if you'd been touched by the hand of God, but it is a well constructed and tasty smoke. It doesn't require much effort to tease out and identify exotic flavors, or significant transitions, but what is there is very up front, and enjoyable. " -John I. (John I.)
