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, then fact-checks every claim against at least three trusted cigar sources 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 that cigar was smoked and scored by Norm Farrar and fact-checked against three independent cigar sources. If a record is still being verified, the badge says so.
