Rating: B- |
Construction
Comments:
Good construction, some minor flaws but very acceptable. |
Pre-light
Aroma and Flavor:
Strong hints of cedar and some pepper. I'm thinking this will be loaded
with flavor. |
Burn:
Lit fine with my double torch Xikar and stayed lit the entire time. |
Drink:
Amstel Light |
Smoking Notes:
Very flavorful smoke. Med-Full bodied and leans a bit to full. Initial
puffs were very peppery, but it mellowed out a bit with more of the cedar
taste and seemed to get a little creamy as it went. It gave off a lot of
smoke. I was grilling outside and the wife had to shut the windows because
the smell was getting into the house. Burn wasn't perfect, it tunnelled a
little bit, but I was able to torch it back to an acceptable burn. I'm
pretty sure I have had this one before, but probably not this size.Overall,
I'd say this is a very nice cigar. Great flavor but average construction
which probably caused the burn issues. |

like eating a really good steak dinner, satisfying. this will be one of my

Rating: C- |
Construction
Comments:
This Toro looked great with a nice smooth wrapper and very small veins.
The downside is that it felt soft, almost squishy. |
Pre-light Aroma and
Flavor:
I didn’t noticed anything unique about this one. Average smell, average
aroma..well, average. |
Burn:
|
Drink:
Water |
Smoking Notes:
The first ¼ was unremarkable. No particular scents, notes, tastes. It was
kind of bland. It tasted like a cigar, but that’s all. It tasted like
tobacco, nothing stood leading me to a specific brand or type. The burn
was great, even and smooth. Even with the loose wrap, it gave up a lot of
smoke, but the draw was a little loose. Towards the later 1/3, it tended
to get a little bitter. The entire length of the smoke, the “cigar” taste
got more intense, almost a nicotine-like taste. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This one was uneventful and quite disappointing. Nothing came to mind as I
smoked through this one. The loose draw along with the bland uneventful
flavor and aroma deemed this one as ‘going through the motions’ with no
real enjoyment. My rating is a C-. |

Reviewer 4: thehat101 Rating: A |
Construction Comments:
Pre-light the cigar felt a little softer than I tend to like them. I am
scared that this one is a little too humidified. The wrapper has some
minor blemishes to include some very apparent black streaks. It is
slightly toothy with a red/brown hue. While smoking, the cigar never lost
its initial firmness so my pre-light fear never came to fruition. On top
of that this turned out to be a very well constructed cigar. |
Pre-light Aroma and Flavor:
Cut easily with Double Blade Xikar. The pre-light aroma reminded me of a
wet fall day. Kind of like damp leaves. (go figure) The pre-light draw was
fairly easy and had a bit of a spicy kick. |
Burn:
Fairly brittle black grey ash. The burn stayed sharp for the duration of
the smoke no touch ups needed. |
Drink:
Diet Dr Pepper |
Smoking Notes:
The cigar has a nice smooth draw, and produced a perfect (for me) amount
of thick dense smoke. The beginning of this cigar was loaded with a very
leathery taste as well as some definite earthiness to it. It also had a
nice spicy kick on the finish. Also, after about the first 2 inches of
this cigar I could tell I should have eaten something first. I would say
this is a pretty full bodied smoke. So I am right at the half way point
and I have noticed that the body has balanced out nicely. I would still
say this is a full bodied cigar but balanced nicely. Towards the middle I
started to get mild herbal notes, still with a spicy/peppery finish. The
final third of the cigar went back to a strong leathery core with ample
pepper on the finish. I nubbed it. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
I really enjoyed this cigar. Burn A+, Draw A+ , overall construction A+,
The flavor was good but for me didn’t have the complexity to give it an
A+, I am thinking more of an A- in this category so it was still very
good. This would be a great after Dinner cigar with a nice stiff drink. I
give it a solid A. |

Python Rating: C |
Construction
Comments:
The wrapper was medium brown in color. The stick was firm with a slight
springiness with no soft spots. It had a couple of small veins, a light
sheen, and the cap was good. The cut was easy and even with no damage
occurring from it. The pre-light draw was perfect. |
Pre-light Aroma and
Flavor:
The pre-light aroma was woody and earthy. The pre-light flavor was earthy
with a hint of saltiness. |
Burn:
Even initial light and an even burn throughout. |
Drink:
Water |
Smoking Notes:
The draw was perfect. The initial light was very musty and earthy with a
slight saltiness on the lips. The saltiness went away very quickly and it
settled down to a less musty earthy flavor that lasted for about 2 inches.
At about the 2 inch mark, I started picking up on some woodiness that
lasted through until about the ¾ mark of the stick. At about the ¾ mark,
it switched back to an earthy flavor but it was accompanied by a slight
sweetness. It had good finish. |
Overall Experience and Rating:
This was just an OK cigar for me. It was smooth, had good tobacco, a good
burn, and good construction. Maybe if I had smoked it at a different time
or situation it would have been better, but based off of the one that I
just had, it just didn’t do anything for me. I found it to be kind of
boring, but I could see how some people would really like it. I would
smoke another one if it was offered to me, but I wouldn’t buy any.
This cigar was average so I give it a C. |
