AESTHETICS<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
A fairly unattractive cigar. The tobacco was really dry and felt very lumpy<\/td>\nWrapper in smooth and golden-brown with no veins ar all. Dry and cracked.<\/td>\nThis cigar was a nice light brown cigar with a slight sheen on the wrapper.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
CONSTRUCTION<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
A few minor soft spots. The cigar had a very accommodating draw, and produced an abundance of chewy smoke.<\/td>\nDespite the dry wrapper, these cigars boast an even draw throughout the entire smoke. Makes a grayish-whitish ash.<\/td>\nFeel was very solid with no soft spots. Clipped easily, and despite the solid box press appearance, the cigar drew well.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
FLAVOR AND STRENGTH<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
A nice medium-bodied cigar with a hint of pepper on the tongue. Had a clean tobacco flavor with hints of leather.<\/td>\nCinnamon and vanilla flavors throughout. Very mild with honey flavors half-way through. Turns spicy towards the end.<\/td>\nTwo samples presented a pretty basic smoke, with flavors of wood and grass. One sample was incredibly bitter.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
\n
GENERAL COMMENTS<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/td>\n
\n

It was a true ugly duckling cigar. A great flavor masked by a mediocre exterior. I would buy these again.<\/p>\n

88 very good<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

A very mild cigar. I wold smoke it again if the wrapper was constructed better. Pairs well with a cappuccino.<\/p>\n

92 excellent<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

Not my favorite cigar of the bunch, but not the worst thing I had ever smoked. I would certainly try these again.<\/p>\n
