Blind Man's Puff · Dec 29, 2021 · September 2021

Reinier Lorenzo showed off a new cigar at the PCA trade show in 2021: HVC 10th Anniversary. As the name suggests this cigar celebrates the 10th year of the HVC brand being in business. This cigar was reviewed blind (no bands) by a panel of at least 4 reviewers. They did not know what they were smoking beforehand. The scores are an average of all the reviewers' scores with outliers removed. All of our cigars reviewed are shipped to the panelists with Boveda packs to ensure optimal smoking experience. The blend for HVC 10th Anniversary uses a new tobacco in the filler, corojo 2012. Along with that the blend uses a corojo 99 wrapper, Nicaraguan binder, and Nicaraguan corojo 99 and criollo 98 in the fiiller. The cigar is rolled at the Aganorsa Leaf Tabacos Valle de Jalapa S.A. (TABSA) factory like the rest of the line in the HVC lineup. The HVC 10th Anniversary comes in just one size, a 6 1/2 x 50 toro. Production is limited to 2,000 boxes of 10. Each cigar carries an MSRP of $15.

HVC 10th Anniversary

Halfwheel · Dec 1, 2021 · September 2021

As I mentioned in the introduction, the HVC 10th Anniversary is more about one of the tobacco leaves in it than the anniversary that it celebrates. It's an interesting cigar that has some familiar notes of Nicaraguan tobaccos, and won't be unfamiliar to smokers of cigars made from AGANORSA Leaf tobacco, yet not longer after lighting it will also be new and different, something that I have to attribute to the corojo 2012 in the filler. It is definitely a richer, more vibrant flavor, even if in this instance it oversteps more times than I would like, going from full flavor to irritating for much of the profile. Yet even with that, the experience still manages to be enjoyable, certainly enough to show the promise of the leaf. Maybe a bigger ring gauge with a different blend of tobaccos to soften the strength would do the trick, though that is a discussion I will leave to those tasked with blending the tobaccos. What I will say is that there's a good chance this cigar helps show that corojo 2012 tobacco has a place in the cigar industry, and one that might be looked back on as one of the first examples of a tobacco you could well be seeing much more of in the not-too-distant future.

Once again, HVC puts out a good cigar with the HVC 10th Anniversary that delivers a range of flavors and nuance keeping me engaged for the majority of the review experience. I will add this to the pile of blends Reinier Lorenzo has put out that I would happy to return to.
