Rev#3

1) Aesthetics: the look of the cigar – This cigar was rather coarse and kind of dry looking. Also kind of ugly, in part due to shipping, kind of beat up looking. Medium brown andf lightly veined with a couple of water spots. Looks like a 6X42.
Score for aesthetics:*** 2.0

2) Pre-light Construction: There was a soft spot in the middle but the foot seemed very tight and dense. It did look very well rolled as far as no lumps, bumps or twists. There was what appeared to be a stem at the start of the last ¼ from the head and a split at the foot of about .5in. I suspect both are due to shipping. It has a slight sweet hay smell. The cap cut clean and it has a damm nice draw, even slightly loose.
Score for Pre-light construction: 2.9

3) Post-light Construction/How it smoked: It drew well, so the firmness noted about was not to worry. Smoke pulls through on its own with little effort. It did burn crooked most of the time but corrected itself quickly and was fine with no corrections by me. Smoke was slightly on the hot side but O.K.(I tend to smoke too fast too). The ash was very light grey, almost white. It is very solid and clumpy. It does seem to be burning fairly fast.
Score for post-light construction: 3.5

4) Flavor and strength: What does it taste like?
I would say this is more medium bodied, not quote full. It has a fruity, sweet taste that I found fairly rich. I noted some floral in the first third along with a haylike taste. A pleasant smoke. I found it did not build in flavor but more in strength with a lisght change in complexity as I smoke it, it was more flavorful. In the 2nd third I had a nice sweet orange citrus taste that I rather enjoyed. This faded in the last third to a more sweet fruity sweetness.
Score for flavor and strength: 3.5

5) Finish/Aftertaste: Some of the fruity tastes linger for a time.
Score for aftertaste: 3.5

6) Aroma: It had a nice aroma, more of a flowery tobacco smell that was O.K. but nothing to write home about.
Score for aroma: 3.0

7) General Comments:
Looks can be deceiving in this case. It was a lot better that it looked in the start.
I had coffee with this one and thought it was a good matchup and would be a good smoke to start the day.
This did remind me of something I smoke before but I could not put my finger on it. I can only venture a wild guess on this one, Belinda?
I would buy them if the price was in the low end.
Sum it up as you would to a friends ("That cigar was awesome!") - That is a totally smoke able cigar.
Overall score for the cigar: 3.5

8) Recommendation: I would recommended this one if it has a fairly low to mid price on its head.
