Here is cigar #4 for dyieldin

A good one! This one went very well for me.



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 RevSmoke #4

1) Aesthetics: the look of the cigar – This is a smooth, dry, medium brown wrapper that I thought was pretty. It had a very nice look, small veins, a triple cap and appears to be about a 48X5.

Score for aesthetics: ***4.8

2) Pre-light Construction: a roll of the cigar between fingers reveals there are no soft spots and has a nice firmness to it, a seemingly dense pack. It is of medium weight and very well rolled. The clip was very nice and clean, did not squeeze or crush.
Upon clipping it revealed a well aged tobacco smell that has a somewhat of an earthiness about it.

Score for Pre-light construction: 4.8

3) Post-light Construction/How it smoked: This one had a great draw with just a touch of firmness, just the way I like ‘em and. does smoke pulled through on its own. There were no soft spots that appeared after lighting and it had a razor sharp burn that I found to be nice and even. The Smoke was not hot, more on the cool side. The ash is fairly solid and layered with a nice very light grey, almost white color to it.

Score for post-light construction: 4.8

4) Flavor and strength: This has a great sweet kind of a candy taste to it, not caramel but something close to that, a taste I could not ID but a great taste nonetheless.
I’d have to say this is more in the medium to mild range. I found a slightly earthy, very fruity and sweet flavor. It was fairly rich, not harsh with a floral and occasional woody note that I found to be very pleasant. It did build in flavor and complexity as you smoked it, flavorful and complex in the middle third. I did this down to the last inch and it did get a little bitter but I do not hold this against the cigar, sometimes you just do not want to stop a good thing.

Score for flavor and strength: 4.8

5) Finish/Aftertaste: I liked this Finish and aftertaste on my palate after each puff, it left and nice fruity and somewhat floral finish and I found it to be very pleasant. There was also an taste underlying everything else, a kind of metal thing, like iron, Just kind of an odd thing, yet pleasant and it did add to the profile rather and detract. All is well.

Score for aftertaste: 4.8

6) Aroma: This had a nice light, mild floral/perfumed note to it.

Score for aroma: 4.8

7) General Comments:
Did you particularly enjoy of with a certain food or beverage? I had coffee with it and think that it did not match well due to the floral tastes. A plain drink like water would be best here.
Did they appeal more at certain time of day? It is a bit lighter and mild to me and would work as a great midday smoke.
Did it remind you of something? No, not a clue here.
Would you buy them? Yes!
Sum it up as you would to a friends ("That cigar was awesome!") “Try one of these or I kick you in the balls.”
give it an overall score (this is not a total, or an average of the others - it is you overall rating of the cigar)
Overall score for the cigar: 4.8

8) Recommendation: Would you recommend the cigar?
Pick one of the following and explain:

Highly Recommended – A solid smoke across the board that scores consistently on all points.

kgoings version of #4

1) Aesthetics: Natural in color and a bit mottled, this cigar 'looks' old. 125mm X 48 gauge. The cigar had a nice oily sheen with a couple veins. 4.5

2) Pre-light Construction: Nice prelight smell of tobacco, no hard or soft spots but a very dense cigar. There is a small crack in the wrapper that looks like it happened when it was rolled...or it was repaired with pectin. Prelight draw is perfect. 3.7

3) Post-light Construction: Good draw, I was hoping that since the crack looked repaired that the cigar wouldnt break apart when it got to that section, but it did expand and crack much more. It didnt effect the smoking of the cigar other than the looks of it. 4.0

4) Flavor and Strength: This was a medium bodied cigar. The flavors were very nice, it started in the first third with a predominant cedar flavor with a slight toffee like sweetness. As the cigar progressed into the second third the flavors added a very slight almost unnoticeable spice on the tip of the tongue. In the final third the sweetness faded with the cedar remaining and some leather flavor began to be noticeable. 4.8

5) Finish/Aftertaste: Long finish of predominantly leather with a very very faint soft spice. Very nice 4.5

6) Aroma: The aroma of this cigar smelled very good, the sweetness was most noticeable in the aroma. 4.5

7) General Comments: Very nice cigar, so far this is my favorite one. I loved the sweetness and flavors of the cigar. 4.8

8) Recommendation: Recommended. I would definitely buy and recommend this cigar to others. Can't wait to see what it was.

Over All 4.8
