Good cigar, a little on the expensive side, but I still love'em. Just an FYI The Carlito is Cameroon wrapper, the Don Carlos is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Thanks for the review!

Thank all of youfor your comments. You're all welcome to the format but just so you all know the scoring actualy breaks down further in my notes. Ex each third gets 1-10 points for appearence 1-10 points for construction 1-10 points for burn quality and 1-20 points for taste, then I add those and multiply by two to give the final total of 1-100 points :tu

Thanks for the review Andrew. I smoked a GOF a few years back and wasn't crazy about it. Maybe I need to revisit this cigar line.

What a great looking dog!

I've heard the "NEW" GOF isn't as good as the older. Only had the "Older", myself, so I can't comment. Any others out there with more experience in this line?:)

Lol, my wiener dog chills with me when I smoke too. He always want's to sit on my lap because he loves the way they smell.

Oh yea, nice review!
