Name: Caldwell Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro Toro
Country: Honduras
Shape: Parejo
Size: Toro (6 inches x 52)
Strength: Medium
An okay cigar. Not too complex. It had a nice draw throughout, but the burn wasn’t flawless. I paired the first half with a 12-year-old Scotch and the second half with oghi.
To be honest, I had higher expectations, and the Blind Man’s Bluff Maduro Toro didn’t meet them.

Type: Red Wine
Grapes: Merlot, Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon
Year: 2019
Country: Lebanon
Region: Bekaa Valley
Date Consumed: 6 November, 2022
Strong and full-bodied. Bold and powerful. Aged in French oak barrels. Tannic. Raunchy.
This is a wine that has a lot of character. I could smell the red fruits and taste the berries. I could also detect some earthy and leathery notes.
It deserves 86/100.

A good blend. Ruby red. Standard Lebanese wine. Hard not to like. But nothing memorable about it. It was the third bottle we opened on Sunday during family lunch. I’d give it a 73/100.
