Blind Cigar Review: LH Aniversario Limited Edition Toro

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: Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4 Toro

Going into this review, I knew almost nothing about the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 4. However, I did review the Espinosa Comfortably Numb Vol. 1 back in 2019, and I don’t remember being all that impressed. That said, over the past few years, Espinosa has made some amazing cigars, specifically the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro Corona Read more…

Cigar Review: Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust Sobremesa Brulee Wagashi Toro

Some people might say “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Well, with the Sobremesa Brulee, Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust didn’t take that advice and created yet another variation, the Wagashi. Wagashi is a traditional Japanese confection made of mochi, anko (azuki bean paste), and fruit. In Japan, kashi is the word for sweets or Read more…

Cigar Review: Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Toro 2024

One thing we like to do with the Adventure Club is explore multiple vitolas of the same cigar to see how the length and ring gauge of a blend changes the flavor. While this is a review of the Room 101 Johnny Tobacconaut Toro from 2024, we’ve also reviewed the Johnny Tobacconaut Perfecto from 2024, Read more…

Cigar Review: Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Robusto

Initial Thoughts The Tatuaje 10th Anniversary Capa Especial Robusto was a great looking cigar with a medium brown and very oily Ecuadorian Habano wrapper leaf. The closed foot promised to offer a blast of flavor. One thing common among Tatuaje’s cigars is that their wrapper leaves have a wonderful aroma, and the 10th Anniversary’s was Read more…

Cigar Review: Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua Toro

What do you get when one of the oldest names in cigars hires one of the oldest families in tobacco to make a cigar? You get the Romeo y Julieta 1875 Nicaragua. If I’m being perfectly honest, I don’t smoke a lot of Romeo y Julieta cigars. They a brand that seems to have fallen Read more…

Cigar Review: Perdomo 30th Anniversary Maduro Robusto

When Nick Perdomo decided to celebrate his 30th year in business, he decided to put a 15 year old wrapper on each cigar. This rare wrapper is one of the reasons these cigars are hard to find. You can shop Perdomo 30th Anniversary cigars here and see our in-stock and ready to ship inventory here. Read more…

Cigar Review: Foundation The Tabernacle Corona

In several reviews over the past six years, we’ve talked about different a cigar can taste from one vitola to another. Also in the past, we’ve done reviews of the Foundation Tabernacle Toro and Tabernacle Lancero, two vitolas I didn’t love. But when I tried the Tabernacle Havana Seed CT #142 as a corona (which Read more…

Cigar Review: RoMa Craft CroMagnon PA Knuckle Dragger Petite Robusto

RoMa Craft Cigars is known for making some pretty strong cigars. With today’s cigar, the RoMa Craft CroMagnon PA Knuckle Dragger, RC has swapped the Connecticut wrapper leaf for a Pennsylvania Broadleaf. Will I be up for the challenge this strong cigar will present? Let’s find out. Initial Thoughts The RoMa Craft CroMagnon PA Broadleaf Read more…

Cigar Review: Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Maduro 56 Toro

When we first smoked and reviewed the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Maduro Corona Gorda back at the end of 2023 we were caught off guard with by how much we enjoyed that cigar. In the months since, we’ve reviewed the Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut and Habano. And, after the success of the KS Maduro, Espinosa has released Read more…

Cigar Review: La Gloria Cubana 8th Street (2023) Corona Grande

Initial Thoughts Around here, we love our limited edition cigars, and the La Gloria Cubana 8th Street Corona Grande is just that. Made to celebrate the storied history of cigar making on Miami’s 8th Street, a.k.a. “Calle do Ocho,” the LGC 8th Street was made at the El Titan de Bronze factory, right across the Read more…

Cigar Review: C.L.E. Eiroa Jamastran Robusto

Initial Thoughts The Eiroa Jamastran Robusto is a cigar we’ve been looking forward to for a long time. And, when this cigar went out in the Adventure Club, a subscriber actually thanked us for introducing them to this cigar. Behind the thin paper surrounding the cigar, the Eiroa Jamastran Robusto is medium brown in color. Read more…

Cigar Review: Rocky Patel Flor de San Andres Toro

Initial Thoughts Not to be confused with the Rocky Patel San Andreas, the Rocky Patel Flor de San Andres is something very different. While both have a Mexican San Andres wrapper, that’s about where the similarities end. The Rocky Patel Flor de San Andres is a somewhat dry-looking cigar with a slight box-press to it. Read more…

Cigar Review: Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano Robusto J

Initial Thoughts It’s not often that we get to review every blend in a line of cigars. While today we’re diving into the Espinosa Knuckle Sandwich Habano, I also recommend you check out our reviews of the Knuckle Sandwich Maduro, which took a few minutes before it became delicious, and the Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut, a Read more…

Cigar Review: Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco Corona Extra

Initial Thoughts Joya de Nicaragua means the “jewel” of Nicaragua, and they’ve been making cigars for years. In our experience, their cigars often come in at great price points, and they’re often quite good. But today’s cigar, the Joya de Nicaragua Cinco de Cinco is, I believe, one of their most expensive cigars, and a Read more…
