Initial Thoughts: One of the best things about joining a cigar of the month club like CIGRco, Luxury Cigar Club, or Good Cigar Co, is that you get access to new and different cigars each month. And that’s the case with today’s cigar, the PSyKO Seven Nicaragua, that I received from CIGRco in September 2019. This Read more…

Cigar Review: Espinosa Comfortably Numb #1
Initial Thoughts: One of the first things I noticed about the Espinosa Comfortably Numb #1 was that its label was backward, or upside down. While most cigar labels read left to right (with the foot being on the right), this one requires you to flip the cigar over. After cutting and lighting the cigar, the flavors Read more…
Cigar Review: Varina Farms Breakfast Blend Toro
Initial Thoughts: Varina Farms is a relatively new name in the cigar world. I don’t know exactly when they got started, but I see reviews of their products going back to at least 2013. That said, they’re 100% new to me. I got the Varina Farms Breakfast Blend Toro in the July box from CIGRco, and Read more…
Cigar Review: Man ‘O War Ruination “Robusto” No. 1
Initial Thoughts: The first thought I had about the Man ‘O War Ruination was, “Wow, this cigar smells amazing!” This cigar is a blend coming from AJ Fernandez, and it has an Ecuadorian Sun Grown wrapper that just looks amazing. Although my cutter didn’t make a perfect cut, I’m excited to see what this cigar delivers. After Read more…
Cigar Review: Balmoral Serie Signaturas Dueto Ovacion
Initial Thoughts: I was excited to dive into the Balmoral Serie Signaturas Dueto Ovacion (what a mouthful!!), until I saw the name Ernesto Perez-Carrillo on the label. See, I’ve smoked two of E.P. Carrillo’s “Cigar of the Year, 2018” and neither left me with positive feelings about the brand. However, the Balmoral Dueto is a collaboration Read more…
Cigar Review: Gurkha Chairman’s Select Grand Robusto Perfecto
Initial Thoughts: I’m no stranger to Gurkha Cigars. Here on CigarScore.com, I’ve reviewed the Gurkha Royal Challenge, the Gurkha Ghost Asura, the Gurkha Cellar Reserve Platinum Solara, and the Gurkha Heritage. And it’s no secret that they never score very high on the CigarScore scale. However, as with every new cigar, I went into the Gurkha Read more…
Cigar Review: Henry Clay Limited Edition 2018
Initial Thoughts: When I picked up this Henry Clay Limited Edition 2018 out of my June 2019 box from CIGRco, I was pretty skeptical. The cigar didn’t feel premium it was very stiff, and it was from a brand I was unfamiliar with. My first impressions of the Henry Clay aren’t good. However, I’ve heard that Read more…
Cigar Review: The Griffin’s by Davidoff
Initial Thoughts: When I first grabbed this cigar out of the May box from CIGRco, I was like, “what the heck is a ‘Griffins’?”. Well, this golden cigar is from the Davidoff factory in the Dominican Republic. The Griffin’s by Davidoff has a golden wheat-colored wrapper that has a slight peach-fuzz to it. The first puffs Read more…
Cigar Review: Archetype Cloaks Robusto
Initial Thoughts: I love it when cigar brands have fun with their product. And to see Ventura Cigar Co. name their latest line of cigars after a Fantasy series gave me a laugh. Today I’m smoking the Archetype Cloaks Robusto that I got from CIGRco. One of the things I noticed about this cigar early on was Read more…
Cigar Review: H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Toro
Initial Thoughts: H. Upmann has been making cigars for over 165 years. To say they’re a “classic” cigar brand would be fairly accurate. So, when I got the H. Upmann 1844 Reserve Toro in my tube from CIGRco, I was pretty excited. CigarScore: Brand: H. Upmann Line: 1844 Reserve Size: 6 x 54 Cut: V- Cut Read more…

Cigar Review: Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff Habano
Initial Thoughts: To date, the Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff is my third cigar from Caldwell, and this is one of their most famous blends. And this cigar is HUGE! Coming in at a sixty ring gauge, this six-inch-long cigar is on the bigger side (if you don’t count those gimmicky cigars that look like baseball bats). Read more…

Cigar Review: Diesel Hair of the Dog Toro
Initial Thoughts: I love watching the cigar community share their photos and videos on Instagram and Facebook. I enjoy seeing what you guys are smoking. So, when CIGRco sent me the Diesel Hair of the Dog Toro, I was pretty stoked! This cigar is wrapped in a light tan Ecuadorian Sumatra leaf. It’s got a Habano Read more…
Cigar Review: Caldwell The T. Connecticut Corona
Initial Thoughts: I’ve been hearing about Caldwell cigars for a long time, so when I got The T Connecticut in my box from CIGR.co, I was pretty excited. The Caldwell The T. Connecticut Corona is a long, thin cigar that is so light in color, it’s almost green. Honestly, it might be the lightest (in appearance) Read more…
