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 […]
When Davidoff announced they were rereleasing the discontinued Davidoff Signature number one I was anxiously awaiting to try it.

It’s a large double perfecto with an Ecuadorian wrapper Mexican binder with Dominican and Nicaraguan fillers respectively. I’ve been able to smoke all the editions thus far and they have all be well received in their […]

Nat Sherman has a long history of patriotism, from the recent event celebrating the NYPD to hosting personal visits from Mayor Giuliani. In my opinion, there is not a […]
A group of cigar retailers announced yesterday a partnership to create “Sindicato Cigar Group LLC,” a cigar company that according to their Facebook page is “by the retailers, for the retailers.” What this will mean in terms of their vision and their product quality, I don’t really know. But the announcement certainly brings with it […]
The management at Iconic Leaf announced the release and some details of of the Iconic Leaf Recluse Draconian. Iconic Leaf is a cigar company headed by J.R. Dominguez that seems to have a fixation with innovation, especially when it comes to sizes. The company’s first release, RECLUSE, is available in ten sizes, three of which […]
The makers of Montecristo announced recently that it is recently a figurado vitola in its wildly popular Montecristo No. 2 line. We should make clear for beginners that this press release refers to the Cuban Montecristo – not the Dominican cigars you see at convenience stores. February 26, 2013 (Havana, Cuba) — Heard of a […]
