The CigarDesk Team

Our reviews are written by a small team of reviewers, each with their own palate and point of view. Every review carries the byline of the person behind it.

Marcus Hale
Senior reviewer
Leans toward bold, full-bodied Nicaraguan puros and dark maduros, but judges every cigar on its own terms. Elena Cruz
Reviewer
Drawn to balance and subtlety - Ecuadorian and Connecticut shades, medium-bodied blends - and refuses to write off a cigar for being gentle. Theo Bennett
Reviewer
A collector's palate: wide-ranging, curious about heritage and aging, quick to spot a cigar with genuine character - and quick to call out hype.
