What does the Reviewer Pack include?

Every month you will receive 4 Premium Cigars. We will also send you a link to rate the cigars using our 4 Category System with a 1-10 Rating Scale. Quarterly we will average the ratings out and publish them in the Ash Quarterly Magazine.
Why choose you?

We are not a turn and burn operation, we don't receive cigars and ship them the next day. We receive the cigars and hold them a minimum of 4 weeks before shipping out. During that time we have partnered with Boveda to ensure cigars become properly acclimated before we package them. Then we ship them with Boveda packs to ensure proper humidity levels on their journey to your doorstep. We also take great pride in our magazine. We have partnered with some great people like Boveda, Premium Cigar Association, and Cigar Rights of America to help bring you relevant and informative content.
When do you ship?

Blend and Barrel will ship your order when you order it. No need to pay in advance and wait on your shipment!

How do you rate cigars?

Our ratings are completely different than the other guys. First off, it's not our ratings - it's yours! Everyone who purchases an Ash Quarterly Reviewer Pack receives a scorecard and link to rate the 4 cigars they receive. Our rating system is on a 1-10 scale for Appearance, Draw, Construction, and Taste. We then compile all the ratings and get an average for each category and then an Overall Score for each cigar. We believe that ratings should be consumer based and not skewed by personal or professional bias. Pick up your Reviewer Packs at www.blendandbarrel.com.
