1/15/2018 14:25:27Isaac M. The Nothing)73480"Judging a book by its cover, I'll pass. The wrapper was toothy, but water spotted, and edges were darkened at the seams. The cigar was out of round, not box pressed, but shoved in a corner and forgotten. At the foot, the shape took on the look of a baseball field. " -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)82.5"This had a vegital, wet leaf aroma to it. Not quite that of a compost pile, but it was close." -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)85MildMedium"This cigar started off quite perfumey. It had a surprisingly full body, but had mild flavors of alder and perfum with a touch of white pepper. The retrohale held a spicy cedar note that was almost overwhelming." -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)85MildMedium"There was an astringent soapy quality that became more apparent in the second third. The spice faded on the retro, making it mostly cedar and much easier on the sinuses. There was still a floral main note charging the way." -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)85MildMedium"The soap quality went away in final third, and the cigar was still quite floral and perfumey. Cedar became more noticeable. Overall it was much as the rest of the cigar had been." -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)82.5"The draw on this cigar was incredibly light. In fact, I'd go so far as to say a Slurpee straw offers up more resistance than this cigar. " -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)87.5"This cigar kept a clean burn from start to finish with the ash dropping at the end of every third. There was also an abundant amount of smoke that was quite satisfying. " -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)82.5"The quick rate at which this cigar burned and the lightness of the draw suggests this cigar could use some more tobacco. The wrapper leaf also wasn't what I could call high quality. " -<strong>Isaac M. </strong> (The Nothing)85"In the end, I was glad to find the cover did not completely suggest what was inside. The cigar looked horrible, but the flavor wasn't near as bad. I might have something like this as a yard 'gar or any other time I wouldn't be worried about something happening to it.

Very (too?) easy draw. Quite enjoyable when puffed at a slow pace." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)85MediumMedium"Gained a bit more focus initially. Notes of wood and cafe con leche. Then it started getting increasingly tarry, to the point that I had to rinse off my mouth (which wasn't of much help)." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)77.5MediumLight"The last third was so tarry that I couldn't distinguish any flavors." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)82.5"Draw is way too loose, even through a relatively small (especially given the ring gauge) 9mm hole." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)85"In spite of the relatively large ring gauge it wouldn't stay lit (for the most part) for longer than 3 minutes if left unattended." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)77.5"This is so poorly rolled that beyond the first third it tastes of almost nothing but tar." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)82.5"A poorly rolled stogie that is so tarry it can't be enjoyed beyond the first third." -<strong>Stefan </strong> (Stefan)85#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?#NAME?

" -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)		85MediumLight-Medium"Not a whole lot of flavor is provided in the first third. I am assuming this is largely due to the loose draw. There are some faint floral notes present, but mostly I'm just getting dry tobacco flavors. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)85MediumLight-Medium"Flavors are still faint in the second third, but at least are coming on a bit stronger now. In the first third they were barely present at all. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)85MediumLight-Medium"Zero transitions from the second to the final third with flavors being very faint floral notes only. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)82.5"The draw was noticeably loose, which I feel was a major contributor to the lack of flavors found with this stick. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)87.5"Zero maintenance was required from beginning to end. The cigar burned straight and consistently the entire smoke. That said, I was amazed at how fast it burned. Despite trying to pace myself and keep puffs slow and to about one per minute, I reached the 1/2 mark on this cigar in about 20 minutes. I expected this to be an hour smoke or longer when I started. This didnt end up being the case. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)85"Outwardly this cigar appeared to be well rolled. It had a consistent pack from one end to the other, a very clean cut cap, tight seams, and straight lines. The draw however was loose to the point that it significantly impacted the experience. " -<strong>Dave W. </strong> (mdwest)85"Overall this wasnt a bad smoke. It was uninspiring for me though and really didnt do anything that would make me interested in smoking it again. If the draw were better it might be of some interest to others that like floral flavor profiles.

The cigar itself is well rolled with a nicely applied quad cap and almost invisible seams. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)90"Very mild in scent. There's a slight barnyard, earth, and tobacco notes on the predraw and foot. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5MildLight-Medium"There's really no nicotine punch at all making this a very mild experience. The flavors are very subtle. Mild white pepper just slightly coats the back of the throat while cedar and a hint of tobacco are at the front. The smoke output is excellent and would be perfect if the draw was just a bit tighter. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5Mild-MediumMedium"The white pepper notes have picked up just a bit from the first third. There's a hint of sweetness that pops up occasionally that adds a nice dimension; but the core flavors are still cedar and tobacco. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95Mild-MediumLight-Medium"The notes of cedar and tobacco are still at the core of this cigar. They've become a bit richer than the first two thirds. The sweet notes are a bit more often compared to the previous thirds and round out the cigar as a whole. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"The smoke output is incredible. Thick clouds of creamy smoke every draw give a great mouth feel. The only draw back is the the roll is a little loose which is causing it to heat up. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)100"Razor sharp burn throughout. Never needed a relight or touch up." -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)92.5"The cigar was well rolled, felt firm to the touch, and other than a few blemishes on the wrapper was very attractive. " -<strong>Alan </strong> (Eulogy)95"Very nice mild cigar. The flavors were nothing out of the ordinary, but they were clean and the occasional sweetness helped bring some life to it.
