Average Score: 4.29
Strength: “Somewhat light”
Flavour: “Very bad”
Aroma: “Poor”
Personal View: “Never smoke
again”
Comments: “Wrapper instantly
flew off once cutting-was dry as
bone and had to be removed due
to constant unwrapping. First
taste is of grassy mould - not at
all pleasant. Burn was poor and
all over the place. Taste evolved
into a grassy moderate flavour
which wasn’t too bad. Didn’t do
much from then on. Overall I
will avoid.”

Average Score: 8.43
Strength: “Somewhat strong”
Flavour: “Very good”
Aroma: “Excellent”
Personal View: “Great cigar”
Comments: “I had a slight issue
with the cap cracking when
punched, and a hairline crack
from the foot, necessitating
small repairs. However, it was a
great smoke from start to finish.
This particular cigar was full of
flavour with a refined, smooth,
strength. It was very satisfying.
I shall be interested to know the
age of this one.”
Average Score: 7.00
Strength: “Somewhat light”
Flavour: “Acceptable”
Aroma: “Average”
Personal View: “Average”
Comments: “Obvious blemishes
detracted from the overall
appearance. Flavour and
strength were very mild and the
aroma was on the wrong side
of subtle. However it would be
a good afternoon cigar, perfect
for a long stroll, or a lighter after
lunch cigar.”
