By the way, when I posted the last reviews, I was on vacation and had none of that particular cigar along with me. On Sunday, I leave for a week with the youth group, and so if I post them while away, I will not have any of the cigars with me to take a picture of and post.

Peace of the Lord be with you.

Here is fissure's review of cigar #2.

1. The cigar measured out at a 38 ring gauge and a length of 5.5 inches. It was slightly box pressed with very minor veins. Beautiful caramel color to the almost flawless wrapper.

Aesthetics score: 3.8

2. The construction was pretty spot on with no soft spots, a nice denseness to the roll, and a nice slightly sweet smell of cedar.

Pre Light score: 4

3. Drawing on this cigar was perfection in my book. A very small amount of smoke would pull through after I set it down. It burned evenly and formed no soft spots throughout the smoke. The whitish gray ash had a nice solid core with a slightly flaky outside.

Post Light score: 4.5

4. The cigar starts off with a mild, woody, sweet spice profile. To my palate this is something to savor! It is very pleasant on the nose exhale enhancing the sweet woody profile. Throughout the smoke, the cigar builds and changes its flavors from the woody flavor while changing to a sweet grassy, and then to a nice spicy grassy with little to no sweet coming through.

Flavor and strength score: 4.5

5. The aftertaste on the palate was a steady medium finish of sweet cedar. After 1/4 was smoked, I started getting slight hints of cocoa that would come and go. Really nice profile.

Aftertaste score: 4

6. Even the wife commented on the smell on this one. It had a good spice and wood smell that was medium in intensity.

Aroma score: 4

7. Great flavorful smoke that won't knock your socks off. Reminded me a lot of the partagas CC line, which is my favorite marca. If it isn't from this line, then I need to pick some of these up!

Overall score: 4

8. I would recommend this to anyone looking for a nice flavorful smoke from the newbie to the more advanced.

Had to cut the cigar a little short before I got carried away by the mosquito's.

Here is dyieldin's review of the second cigar.

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: oily, coarse, Medium brown color, a real rough look. There were a couple of large veins running down the length. Maybe a corojo wrapper.
Score for aesthetics:*** 2.9

2) Pre-light Construction: There were no soft spots, very tight, very dense pack. It feels very weighty. It seems it was well rolled except for the over packing. Not much of anything on a smell there.
Score for Pre-light construction: 2.0

3) Post-light Construction/How it smoked: Does it not draw well at all, nothing, very hard to smoke pull through, no soft spots appear after lighting, burns evenly, did not smoke hot as it would not draw, the ash was like a solid lump and a medium grey color. I thought it might loosen up after lighting and be O.K. but this never happened.
Score for post-light construction: 2.0

4) Flavor and strength: What does it taste like? Seemed to be a medium body smoke. It taste kind of a fruity, sweet, robust taste to it that I found pleasant. It build in flavor a bit, not in complexity. For what smoke I did get out of it I found flavorful. It did get bitter about ½ way and I was tired of fighting to draw and gave up on it.
Score for flavor and strength: 3.5 for potential

5) Finish/Aftertaste: Finish or aftertaste is the sensation &/or flavor on you palate after each puff, not the taste left after you finish the cigar. I found it a bit fruity and also somewhat pleasant. Got very harsh about ½ way.
Score for aftertaste: 3.5 for potential

6) Aroma: The Aroma was good, just not a lot of it. A floral note was detected.
Score for aroma: 3.4

7) General Comments:
Did it remind you of something? Yes, of the last time I had a cigar that was not manufactured properly. About half way I was tired of fighting to draw and gave up on it.
Would you buy them? Nope. If someone gave me one I would try again but will not spend my cash on a defective product. That does not function.
Sum it up as you would to a friends ("That cigar was awesome!") . Get ‘em if you do not like smoke with your cigar.
Overall score for the cigar: 2.0

8) Recommendation:

Not Recommended because it was defective. I expect my smoke to smoke, this one did not.
