Cigars, Vapes & Herbal Smoking Blend Reviews
About Us
Our Passion for Fine Smoking Experiences
Welcome to the premier destination for thoughtful, honest reviews of cigars, vapes, and herbal smoking blends. Founded by a team of passionate enthusiasts with decades of combined experience, we’re dedicated to helping you navigate the complex world of premium smoking products.
Our Story
What began as casual conversations among friends with a shared appreciation for fine cigars has evolved into a trusted resource for smoking aficionados worldwide. Our journey started in 2017 when we noticed a gap in the market – there were plenty of review sites focusing solely on cigars or exclusively on vaping, but very few addressing the full spectrum of smoking experiences.
We believe that appreciation for one smoking form often leads to curiosity about others, and our diverse team reflects this philosophy. Our reviewers come from backgrounds ranging from traditional tobacconists to modern vape shop owners to herbalists specializing in botanical blends.
Our Review Philosophy
We approach every review with three core principles:
- Authenticity – We purchase all products we review anonymously at retail prices. We never accept payment for positive reviews, and we always disclose any products that have been provided as samples.
- Expertise – Each reviewer specializes in their area of expertise. Our cigar reviews come from certified tobacconists, our vape reviews from experienced technicians, and our herbal blend reviews from botanical specialists.
- Accessibility – We believe quality smoking experiences should be available to everyone. We review products across all price points, always highlighting exceptional value when we find it.
