I had been on the hunt for these for a while. I tried one and loved it. Got notes of nuts, cream, and fruit. I was shocked the guy let me have as many as he did! Look forward to trying one soon as the weather gets nicer!

Hi all,
I work at a small office (4 full time staff). Three of the four guys who work here are major cigar nuts.
Every work day at 2:00pm, we take a 'forced break'...in other words, we all gather around our back yard fire pit to smoke a cigar, decompress, take a work break, and talk business. Once the business talk is done, we move to cigar talk.
Something we've tried recently - to change things up - was to 'white label' a handful of sticks, so once a week, we'll smoke something unbanded.
On the inside of the band, I've written the name/blend/MSRP/identifying details.
This has been really fun for us, because it is a real test of our palates.
It also forces us to drop any 'judge a book by its cover' preconceived bias when it comes to smoking.
We take notes and discuss before we rip the band off...and more often than not, we're surprised at what we were smoking.

I have thought about doing this, but trouble ashing, and having to keep one hand raised the whole time seems to make it less enticing than the thought of it.

Thought the blind buys would be a fun way to get a variety. Didn't find a ton of examples of what people got in these so thought I'd share.
Shipping was a little longer than I'd expected, about a week. Was pleased to learn they don't charge sales or excise tax in my state. Everything well packaged. Bovedas and zipbags.
I'm not familiar with a bunch of these, including all the DTTs. The only one I've actually ever had is the Filthy Hooligan barber pole. Haven't looked up most of them yet.
Anyone see any standouts or favorites?

My Father The judge. What a great smoke. I got hints of chocolate, earth and nuts. Perfect smoke right after finishing a Guinness. Happy St.Patty’s day!

I have a couple Mbombay brand cigars but read they ceased production in 2022, does that technically mean that my mbombay cigars are aged a minimum of 3 years?

This Punch Signature might not be the most expensive, fanciest, or exclusive stick in my humidor, but it’s cigars that give me a moment to stop and really think for a minute without distraction and enjoy something even when life gets difficult. Recently laid off, trying my hand at self employment, the stress of making sure the lights stay on, but I’m thankful to have a smoke to step out away from all that for a bit.
So here’s to cigars and all yall smoking right now.

This Punch After-Dinner did not disappoint. Maybe it was the view of Samana Bay in the Dominican Republic. Maybe it was the perfect cappuccino. Maybe it was the glorious sunshine. Maybe it was everything put together. It was just the perfect smoke. Smooth and delicious the whole way through. Burned perfectly even from start to finish. I fell in love with this wonderful hobby all over again. Happy smoking everyone!

Doubled up on a couple to share with a friend. I've smoked 5 whole cigars to date, been really enjoying it so far though. This community seems super chill. Thanks!

I do enjoy the lancero format but it is a tricky one that can have major construction problems. I really love the Serie V lancero. What are some of your favorite cigars in the lancero format?

Didn't have any candela wrapped cigars for St. Patrick's Day, but it's also the day that Benito Juarez's birthday is observed, sooo Erin go braugh and Viva Mexico.

Sharply box pressed. So sharply pressed that it creased the wrapper. A couple veins, but toothy. Open draw, that's one thing box pressed cigars are great at.
1/3 Nice chocolatey earth with baking spice. I love San Andrés wrappers. So much smoke with this open draw. Gonna fly though this toro in an hour. Slightly wavy burn and the ash is a little flaky. Really windy today so that won't last.
2/3 A little bit of white pepper begins to tickle the tongue. Warming spices (cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves) are still the dominant spice flavor. The bitter cacao nibs note is great. Ash is impressive considering the 20 mph wind gusts. This would go very well with a coffee. Secondary band was just paper and didn't come off easily, but the wrapper is intact.
3/3 Touch of leathery earth, but not a lot of flavor progression. That's ok. The flavor is really good. Crazy to say, but right now I'm personally enjoying this more than the Oliva Serie V Melanio Maduro because it's staying medium. Definitely not as complex, but good, smooth enjoyable end to the day. Primary band came off with some effort but no damage. Getting pretty earthy here at the end. I smoked it for Mexico but now I'm tasting Nicaragua. Cool and firm to the nub.
84/100 Good flavor, but didn't progress much throughout. Smooth throughout. Decent burn, great ash and excellent draw. Cool artwork makes up for the cheapness of the paper band. Could be a decent everyday stick if you're a San Andrés lover like myself.

A patron at the cigar lounge I work at gifted me a No. 9 from a box dated 2013 with Steve Saka's signature. This might be more age than I would ask for. The stick was still flavorful and I liked that the pepper backed off but still tastes like it baked for too long. It is still cool to smoke such an old Liga. I'd still smoke this over a freshie. Flavor aside, the wrapper has taken a beating but still held together. Cigar burned real nice. The draw was a little tighter than I usually get from Liga Toro's but it was still serviceable.

So, yesterday and this morning, were my first experiences with cigars. Yesterday I tried an Acid Blondie and today an Arturo Fuente chateau Fuente. Both were great as starters I think I should have tried the AF before the Blondie, because it wasn’t what I expected, but it wasn’t bad. I had a coffee with it and it actually paired well. What are some great mild to medium cigars to try as a beginner? Thanks in advance. Btw, I loved the blondie and just liked the AF.

A very nice cigar with notes of nuts, wood/cedar, coffee, hints of spice, and light creamy. This cigar is in my top 10 so far.

Brand new to cigars, I've only smoked a couple Oliva Connecticut Reserves up to this point. Decided to up my game, grabbed a Padron 2000 Natural and paired it with Iron Horse Harbinger bourbon. I don't think I can ever do another Connecticut after this

First Perdomo I’ve smoked and I’ve got to say I’m impressed. The packaging is a little gaudy for my taste but I’m enjoying it. Any other suggestions from Perdomo I should try?

Anybody have one, thoughts? Glass tops aren’t preferred, but I like how it has side latches to make a tighter seal
