Cigars Unbanded

Episode 137 puts Cigar #4 from the July Cigars Unbanded x Small Batch Cigar mystery sampler to the test as the panel works through another true blind review. The unique vitola delivers a flavorful, nuanced experience filled with citrus zest, cedar, baking spices, creaminess, floral notes, and a touch of nuttiness before becoming more wood-forward in the final third. The conversation also recaps the recent El Mago interview, celebrates the launch of Garrison Cigars' exclusive "Artifact" blend, shares travel stories, community unboxings, and raises awareness for a charity supporting first responders with PTSD. As always, the cigar is judged solely on its smoking experience before the reveal, where the community ultimately lands on a solid B-tier rating.

Episode 136 features cigar #3 from the July Cigars Unbanded mystery pack, delivering a balanced profile with notes of chocolate, toasted oak, baking spices, nuts, and a long creamy finish.

Along the way, the panel discusses what makes the perfect cigar lounge, from ventilation and comfortable seating to humidor selection, coffee bars, and member culture, before wrapping up with a reveal of the mystery cigar and a look at some exciting new cigars added to the review queue.
