Blind Cigar Reviews
Today, I’m reviewing the Rare Finds Blend 1011-42, a cigar crafted by Henke and Klaas Kelner exclusively for The Tobacconist of Greenwich. This cigar, aged 3-5 years, hails from the Dominican Republic, continuing the legacy of quality tobacco from the Kelner family, renowned for their work with Davidoff and their own Kelner Cigars, S.A.S. in […]

Finding a brand that strikes the perfect balance between quality and affordability is a rare gem.

Interestingly, it’s worth noting that the Montecristo brand has a dual existence, with the Cuban version […]

I’ve been able to smoke all the editions thus far and they have all be well received in their […]
