Just so it's said, since most people won't read the tor-talk links
posted later in this thread:

No, cloudflare doesn't block tor explicitly. Here's a direct quote from
them:

Hi, and thanks for contacting us today.

We don't have a particular position on TOR. All IPs are treated the
same -- so if suspicious activity was seen from an IP that happens to
be a TOR exit node then it'll be challenged by our system before it can
access a CloudFlare page. This is no different than any other IP that
might be doing something suspicious though. We haven't considered a
particular feature to bloc TOR access, but I can pass on the feedback
internally."

If only they understood the difference between TOR and Tor. :)
