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 […]
In the world of cigar accessories, it’s often a choice between low-priced, subpar tools and high-priced, high-quality ones. Finding a brand that strikes the perfect balance between quality and affordability is a rare gem. LIHTUN, a sub-brand of Xifei Cigar Accessories, offers a selection of innovative cigar tools that are built to last without costing […]
Budget friendly brand Penn Standard is cigar using a Pennsylvania Broadleaf maduro wrapper. I haven’t smoked this brand before and I tend to shy away from “budget” smokes as they tend to be under fermented or underfilled. I’d rather spend more on better tobacco and enjoy the time I have to smoke. That being said […]
The Montecristo Platinum Robusto is meticulously crafted in La Romana, Dominican Republic by Altadis, a subsidiary of the British conglomerate Imperial Brands. This brand boasts a rich heritage, traditionally renowned as one of the most coveted Cuban cigars globally. Interestingly, it’s worth noting that the Montecristo brand has a dual existence, with the Cuban version […]

Rocky Patel is once again on to a new blend: the 2/26. RP is, of course, a brand that has gotten a lot of hate in recent years from cigar smokers for releasing “too many blends” – the problem with this obviously being that so many of their blends are so damn good. Recent releases like the Freedom […]
Bloomberg announced today that he plans to pursue more pipe-dream regulatory action in New York City. He plans to pursue a tobacco product display ban, along with legislation that would enforce the measure. This after a judge struck down Bloomberg’s large sugary-drink ban, calling it “arbitrary and capricious.” I’m no lawyer, but that sounds like legal lingo […]
