COMMON QUESTIONS

Quick answers about this part of Blind Label Cigar. For the full list, see all our FAQs.

How does Blind Label Cigar review cigars?

Norm smokes each cigar and scores it out of 100, and every claim is checked before it's published. Cigars that pass carry the BLC Verified badge.

Are Blind Label Cigar reviews sponsored?

No. We don't take money for scores and we don't invent blend data. We don't sell cigars either, so there's no reason to inflate a review. If something is flawed, we say so.

What does BLC Verified mean?

It means Norm smoked that cigar himself, scored it himself, and checked every fact before it shipped. If a record is still being verified, the badge says so.
