Review Notes:
On 7 February 2005, I was introduced to cigars by a friend with one of these. Like a first girlfriend, or losing one's "innocence", memories are strong but may not be accurate. You remember the good and can't seem to remember the bad. Anyway, I only remember good. Creamy, perfect burn, wrapper supple and delicious. I've been hooked ever since. I'd have rated the values as a 10, since it was a gift, I couldn't have paid any less. I'm guessing the price in order to enter the required value. I'm rating the overall experience as a 9, though, to leave room for superior smokes later. I've had one other Cuban, an H. Upmann Sir Winston but I preferred this. I didn't marry my first girlfriend. A perfect "marriage" between smoker and his smoke should factor in affordability and the ability to enjoy regularly for a lifetime. You might dream about a night (or a few) with Angelina Jolie, but trust me, you don't want the baggage of being married to her. Therefore a 10 is, to me, a relative experience, and I'd never give a 10 to any woman but my wife. I'm still searching for my "10" of cigars, but this unforgettable stick was awfully close.
