This is a review of cigar #5:

Smoking: Pre-light draw tasted solely of hay. But it wasn't a sweet hay taste. More like wet hay. Clean, but wet. Anyways, I started in and the first few puffs were great! There was a chocolate taste that really shone through. It was held up back a backbone of spice and a sweet hay taste. This myriad of flavors kept for the first half of the cigar. At times one would over power the other, but in all chocolate was the predominant flavor. Then.... something went wrong. At the almost halfway mark, the hay turned into a wet hay taste. Like moldy hay. The chocolate taste disappeared and the spice went to a weird black pepper taste. I held out throughout the rest of the cigar hoping that it would revert back to what it had been before. But sadly, it did not.

Construction: 22/25 ( I only had to touch it up once)
Flavor: 35/75

Total: 57/100

This sadly turned out to be the worst cigar of the bunch. The flavors in the second half made me want to pitch it. And I can't recall the last time I pitched any cigar (ask the EPIC crew how far down I smoke my cigars).

My Guess: I am at a loss once again. I have never had a cigar go badly so promptly. I am going to say some sort of Gurkha.
