Average Score: 6.86
Strength: “Somewhat strong”
Flavour “Acceptable”
Aroma “Acceptable”
Personal View “Every now
and then”
Comments “This cigar had some
interesting chestnut sweetness
which surprised me and
worked well with a black coffee.
However it was one dimensional
and there was no evolution to
the flavour.”

Strength: “Strong”
Flavour: “Acceptable”
Aroma: “Good”
Personal View: “Only if given
to me”
Comments: “I’d almost rather it
were smaller like a Toscanero. It
does a job but has no complexity
so the polished appearance is a
contradiction.”
