The CRAFT Maquette Series began two years ago as a way for RoMa Craft Tobac to showcase some limited blends and give their loyal fanbase a firsthand look at some creations that fall outside the company’s core lines. Or that is my understanding of it. I was excited to...

We have enjoyed both of Drew Estate’s Blackened releases here in The Corner Of No Hope. The original M81 Maduro to the Core scored a highly respectable 91 and the subsequent S84 Shade to Black scored an even more impressive 92. Blackened Cigars is a passion project that brings...

Earlier this week, the Tuesday Night Cigar Club (TNCC) received what is most likely our last package of cigars submitted for review this calendar year. Steve Saka’s Dunbarton Tobacco & Trust (DTT) is one of the companies that traditionally sends samples of a select number of their recent releases...

We here at the TNCC have always enjoyed the Namakubi line from Room 101 (yes, I’m aware that it’s technically Room101 but for search engine purposes I’m typing it how I want to). Our first taste of the blend was way back in 2016 when we featured the Namakubi...

I am one of the many unlucky sonsofbitches who never got an opportunity to smoke the original Pork Tenderloin release back in 2010. I was just beginning what would quickly evolve into a very deep immersion into the world of premium cigars and Tatuaje wasn’t a company yet on...

We have featured two previous collaborations between Erik Espinosa and celebrity chef Guy Fieri here in The Corner Of No Hope – the Knuckle Sandwich Habano (rated 92) back in 2022 and the Knuckle Sandwich Connecticut (rated 91) last February. Both were enjoyable cigars, so this year’s “Chef Special”...

We’ve reviewed a handful of offerings from My Father Cigars over the years, including many Tatuajes that were rolled at the My Father factory in Estelí, Nicaragua. The majority of these cigars were very good if not great. The company recently established their first factory in Honduras and this,...

Prior to today, I’ve only smoked two Sinistro cigars. The first experience was way back in 2018 or possibly 2019, it was either at a Connecticut or a Kentucky lounge (I think) and the cigar was The Last Cowboy (I’m pretty sure). You see, the TNCC boys were wiped...

Back in the early days of summer, I lit up my very first Plasencia cigar and reviewed it. The Cosecha 151 La Musica was a complex, memorable Honduran puro featuring a ton of nice transitions and excellent construction. I couldn’t have scripted a better personal introduction to the Plasencia...
