Well to be honest he did hint that it MAY not be a reyes family cigar. I dont think he was way off on that #5 review... And if you want to really be picky, taking the review of your Pepin into consideration, I think this tie you both up if anything! hehehe Andy was more basing his judgment wether it was a reyes or not based on if it was good... He just didnt take into account there are other cigars out there with the same qualities.

Nice reviews guys, I really enjoyed reading them.

Cigar #6


Construction: 5x50 medium/light brown wrapper

Pre-Light: Smooth draw with hints of cedar.

1st Third: The aroma is pleasant upon lighting. Cocoa flavor appears briefly then dissapates. Cedar is also present. A slight citrus flavor is now detectable. Cedar and citrus: not a bad combination. Citrus is now the dominant flavor. A little bit of spice is detectable through the nose.

2nd Third: Still very citrusy. Flavor has remained very consistent.

Final Third: Citrus is still strong.

Final Thoughts: I enjoyed this stick, even though it wasn't very complex (which isn't always bad in my book). Citrus is a flavor that isn't very prevalent in many cigars that I smoke, so it was nice to have for a change.
There is no way that this is a Reyes product.

There is no way. No hay or grass or wet hay at all in this stick. Maybe it was a miracle that this one was good.


Edit: I went back and compared the pics of #1 and #6. They look the same.
