Cigar Review: Pospiech Powstanie Wojtek War Bear 2021

Initial Thoughts It’s a good thing we don’t have to know how to pronounce Pospiech Powstanie Wojtek War Bear 2021 before we can smoke it.

Cigar Review: Blackbird Rook Sumatra Robusto

Initial Thoughts: One thing I like about Blackbird Cigars is their color scheme for their labels. You never have to remember what cigar you liked (or disliked) from them, all you have to do is remember the color. Today’s cigar is the sky-blue Rook from Blackbird Cigars. The first thing I noticed about the Blackbird Read more…

Initial Thoughts: Today we continue our series of blind cigar reviews, where our goal is to provide you with a totally objective, completely neutral review of a cigar.

Cigar Review: Crowned Heads Mil Dias Edmundo [Second Chance]

Initial Thoughts: Today’s review is another blind cigar review, the second one thus far. Going into the review, Ellory didn’t know what the cigar was, what tobaccos were in it, or who manufactured it. The first thing I noticed about this cigar (the Crowned Heads Mil Dias Edmundo) was its aroma. In fact, that’s probably Read more…

Initial Thoughts: Today marks the first time we’re doing something new in the cigar industry. We’re reviewing a cigar without knowing what it is, who made it, how much it costs, or what’s in it.

Cigar Review: 1502 XO Churchill Limited Edition

Initial Thoughts: Sometimes we smoke cigars that taste like they’ve just come off an assembly line. Other times, like today, we review a cigar that has a wrapper that’s old enough to vote and pose in an adult magazine. Sporting an 18-year-old “undisclosed” wrapper, the 1502 XO Churchill Limited Edition is today’s cigar for review. Read more…

First off, the Illusione Rothschildes is a good-looking cigar. Although it’s fairly short, it Read more…
