| Cigarwoman: |
This
cigar did quite well with our panel, no one hated
it and a few were surprised. Have a look! |
| Salescamp: |
This
was a Corazon Reposado Tequila rated cigar and the
pair went together nicely. I would certainly smoke
this cigar again and would recommend it. |

H.: |
A
very nice looking cigar. This was a well-constructed,
ornately packaged cigar(and I think the packaging
costs were built into the price). I have to confess,
it has been a few days since I smoked this cigar,
and what sticks most in my mind was the packaging.
However, when I think of all the cigars I like to
smoke, it's the taste that I remember-not the packaging.
So....yes, I purchased this cigar for the purposes
of trying it out and submitting my review, but I doubt
that I would ever classify it as a cigar I enjoyed
snoking. |
| Imdenyse: |
It
was ok. I wasn't overwhelmed. I was glad to have experienced
the cigar but it wouldn't be on my list of those I'd
want to smoke again. |
| Vangarma: |
I
enjoyed it and was pleasantly surprised. I would suggest
this cigar to someone. |
| LadyD.: |
I
would definitely give this smoke a second chance.
A better draw would have undoubtedly given way to
tasting its true flavor profile. I'd be happy to put
a couple of these with a smaller ring guage in the
humidor a future tasting. I'd rate this one a C. |

Construction

H.: |
A
bit overdone in the packaging department, with it's
gold sleeve and band and then another band. It seemed
that I might never actually get to the cigar ! But
once I did, I found an attractive, well-constructed
cigar, with a wrapper that was smooth, and very even
colored. The color reminded me of a creamy coffee
drink. The stick I smoked felt a bit spongy, but I
think that may have been the result of over-humidification
by the tobacconist. Nonetheless, the size and shape
of the cigar felt nice in my hand. |
| Salescamp: |
I
thought that the construction of this cigar was good
- the color was nice and I liked the overall look
and feel. The only aspect that I did not like was
the packaging - I thought that it was a little too
much and made the cigar look cheaper. |
| Vangarma: |
Larger
guage than I prefer yet it was just tight enough to
support a long draw. No fraying or splitting throughout
the whole smoke. |
| Imdenyse: |
It
was a very asthetically pleasing cigar. Nice moist
wrapper that stayed intact despite my traveling with
it not in a humidor trying to find time to smoke it.
It was firm and dark. |
| LadyD.: |
This
is a well rolled Nicaraguan wrapped cigar, with a
marked deep, rich, chocolate color and mild tooth.
A few noticable veins near a neatly placed cap and
a foot that reveals a blend of 3-4 tobaccos. Balanced
in the hand, this straight parejo had some heft at
7 firm inches and 54 ring guage. One noticeable soft
spot. |

Draw
| 26/30
|
| Connie
H. |
Very
nice, even burn. I did not experience any unwrapping
or unraveling issues of any kind, until the very end,
when it just started to fall apart. Again, I think
that may have had more to do with the conditions that
this stick was living in more than anything. The draw
was a bit too loose for my taste. I tend to prefer
a little bit of resistance, so that the smoke and
flavor have a chance to envelope my entire mouth.
The draw on this smoke was a bit straw-like, and I
felt like I might have been missing out on something.

| Salescamp |
This
cigar burned well and for quite some time. The ash
held well and there were no obvious imperfections
with respect to the draw and flow. |
| Vangarma |
It
lasted an hour and fifteen minutes, (was expecting
a two hour smoke). The ash held up solid, had it an
inch and a half at one point, I tend to flick a lot.
Ialso burnt consistantly to the last 1/2 inch. No
relighting was needed. |
| Imdenyse |
Good
burn on this. Started out a little uneven but it equaled
out after about 10 minutes. The wrapper stayed intact
through the burn. The draw was very nice...not difficult
(as I had heard these could be) but not too easy either.
Very steady burn. |
| LadyD. |
The
lighting took a bit and the early draws were difficult,
providing minimal smoke volume. As the cigar progressed
it opened up a bit but I never got "optimum" smoke.
The burn was even for the most part with only a couple
of necessary corrections. Perhaps I just got one that
was rolled a bit tight. |

Taste
| 31/40
|
| Salescamp |
I
liked the overall taste of this cigar - although at
one point I noticed a somewhat acrid taste that my
nose didn't like too well. Otherwise I enjoyed both
the taste and flavor in the medium range. |
| Connie
H. |
A
mild-smoke at best. I am all for a mild-smoke...as
long as the flavor and taste are there. Unfortunately,
this one didn't cut it. All I can say is... "Ack."
The first few minutes of this smoke was acrid. I had
to resist turning around and tossing it into the butt
can. I stuck with it though, and towards the end,
there was a hint of creaminess, but not much else.
|
| Vangarma |
I
was VERY surprised at how full flavor it was. I tasted
a nutty undertone with a hint of spice (maybe cinnimon)
not sure but it was a treat. |
| LadyD. |
Prelight
aroma lead me to believe this cigar was properly aged
with a mild "barnlike" quality. I expected a complex
smoke with earthy, robust qualities and had the draw
been better I think this would have been the case.
Hints of wood and leather drifted in and out along
with a medium body and finish. |
| Imdenyse |
It
was a very middle of the road cigar. Not terribly
strong in my estimation but not weak either. It wasn't
anything special to me so therefore I don't think
I'd look for one on my own. |
