As I prepared for this review, I took a minute to look back on our most recent reviews of Alec Bradley cigars. To say that we weren’t impressed with the Filthy Ghooligan or the Safe Keepings would be a fair assessment. So when a fiver of their new anniversary...

Last year Villager Cigars announced that they were updating their La Capitana line with all new packaging and a new recipe as well. Moving away from utilizing all Nicaraguan tobaccos, the latest release features an Ecuadorian Connecticut-seed wrapper over a Nicaraguan binder and fillers from both Nicaragua and the...

I first reviewed the original Boondock cigar way back in 2019 and, boy, was I ever hard on it. Not the cigar itself thankfully – it was fine – but rather the “film” it was inspired by. I shoveled so much shit on 1999’s “The Boondock Saints” that there’s...

I was somewhat surprised to find that the only variation of the Deliverance line of cigars that the TNCC has reviewed to date was the Deliverance Porcelain way back in 2021. That’s a very good cigar that has really grown on me over the last few years. Other than...

Don Emmanuel is a relatively new company on the premium cigar scene and this is the first opportunity we here in The Corner Of No Hope have had to sample their wares. In 2021, Eladio Díaz left his role as Davidoff’s Dominican production chief and blender to start his...

Going in to this review, I couldn’t remember if the Tuesday Night Cigar Club had ever featured a La Flor Dominicana cigar in the past. “If only there was some way to verify that!” I thought to myself. So I submitted a request with the TNCC’s IT Department and...
