Cigar reviews: I have been totally off the grid for reviews this year. They will be no best of list for 2021 as it would not be fair to the cigar world. My mind has been elsewhere in regarding writing cigar reviews.
What I will do for now is to give you an overview of two cigars I actually did review but will only give you the bullet points about the blends.
If I can get my act together for 2022, will start producing the usual amount of reviews I have done in the best.
