Blind Man’s Puff gave a pre-release sample a final rating of 90 on October 11, 2021, calling it medium and finding leather, cedar, honey, cinnamon and cream.

Who It’s For

- Robusto smokers curious about a brand launched in 2021.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-Mexican leaf, aged three to five years before rolling
- 90 from Blind Man’s Puff (October 2021)
Cons

About the Revolutionary Edition

After a 2021 debut, Cigar Coop reported, it was paired in 2022 with the 6 x 54 Tierra Blanca as the Revolutionary Edition, marked by an orange secondary band.
Pairing and Storage
Casa 1910 suggests añejo tequila with it, per Cigar Coop’s 2022 PCA report. Otherwise, our cigar pairing guide points medium cigars toward bourbon, a balanced red or espresso.
