I have said for some time that the Accomplice line from Principle Cigars is one of my favorite bang-for-your-buck lines. Each of the blends in the lineup are unique and exciting. I am not considering the Decienne by the way, as it is a limited release anniversary blend - though it is also a unique and great blend. This morning I lit up a Corojo Robusto for review.  Country of Origin: Dominican Republic Factory: Undisclosed Wrapper: Dominican Corojo Binder: Dominican Filler: Dominican Vitola: 5 x 50 Robusto Price: $8.00 MSRP Link to Purchase: The Cigar Farm (Use code “WW10” to...

The Dark War Witch was released in late 2021 by Black Star Line Cigars as a follow up to the War Witch. This year the Dark War Witch is getting a limited edition line extension in the form of the “Pig” - a 4 3/4 x 60 Perfecto. The Pig is limited to 200 boxes of 10 and maintains the Dark War Witch Blend. Upon announcement I was immediately excited to try the blend in a different size, as I am a big fan of the Dark War Witch. Country of Origin: Nicaragua Factory: Agricola Ganadera Norteno S.A.

The Paper Crane is the newest Limited Edition release from Oveja Negra Brands’ Black Works Studio portfolio. This cigar features the unique Desflorado wrapper leaf - a leaf owner James Brown has admired. I am always happy to try Connecticut Shade cigars blended by James, as they always seem to hit my palate well. Available in a 6 x 48 Toro and a 5 x 46 Corona, this review will be of the latter.

The Brothers of the Sabre line was born out of Jeremy Casdagli’s fascination with Napoleon’s attempt to conquer Europe. This line pays homage to the generals on all sides and the blends are intended to be representative of the character of whom they honor. This Forrader line was named after Prussia’s Gebhard Leberecht von Blucher and is touted as having “deceptive strength”. I have not smoked either of the current Brothers of the Sabre blend, but am eager to change that with this Forrader Robusto!

The Black Star Line Cigars Mr. Fahrenheit is crafted at Tabacalera Isla in the Dominican Republic. A portion of the proceeds from each Mr. Fahrenheit sale goes to Ignite The Spirit, a Chicago firefighter charity. Aric Bey, creator of Black Star Line cigars, is a Chicago firefighter by trade and an avid cigar enthusiast. Mr. Fahrenheit perfectly bridges these two aspects of his life. I have enjoyed this cigar a few times already and figured this time I would review it.
