Default Re: RevSmoke's Blind reviews

And lastly, dyieldin's review of #5.

Rev#5
0.0 - 2.0 = poor/inferior quality 2.1 - 2.9 = fair 3.0 - 3.5 = good 3.5 - 4.5 = excellent 4.6 - 5.0 = superior

1) Aesthetics: the look of the cigar – slightly oily and a kind of smooth, dry and medium color.
Score for aesthetics:*** 4.4

2) Pre-light Construction – there were no soft spots and I found it to be a little tight and somewhat lightweight. It appears to be well rolled and smells like a mixture of hay and grass. Part of the cap is folded over but looks like it will not affect operation of the product.
Score for Pre-light construction: 3.5

3) Post-light Construction/How it smoked: This one seems to draw well and pull smoke through on its own and it burns evenly. The ash is light grey and nicely layered, like tree rings, flaky and falls off easily. It is a nice smoky smoke.
Score for post-light construction:4.0

4) Flavor and strength: This is medium bodies smoke that is sometime a bit on the harsh side. It had a haylike taste all the way through that I found unpleasant. It did build in a bit in strength but not flavor or complexity, stayed pretty bland. Had to toss it at a little better than half way.
Score for flavor and strength: 2.9

5) Finish/Aftertaste: The finish was somewhat bitter and grassy with a strong bite that made it harsh to me.
Score for aftertaste: 2.5

6) Aroma: This was not too bad, a good, light and mild grassy that was not all unpleasant given the taste profile was harsh and bitter.
Score for aroma: 2.8

7) General Comments:
Did it remind you of something? Yep, factory rejects #49.
Would you buy them? Nope
Sum it up as you would to a friends ("That cigar was awesome!") – Save your money and pick up a Savoy my friend.
Overall score for the cigar .5

8) Recommendation: This one is not recommended, they are better smokes out there to be had for the same money.
