Moving on, the flavor of the La Flor Dominicana Limitado V is superb. It begins with pepper right off the bat. Soon, tobacco and cedar notes join in to complete the first third. The second third has a stronger profile where it hits full-bodied strength. The pepper is more powerful, and notes of coffee, wood, and sweetness help to balance it out. The final third is a tasty blend of wood, cream, chocolate, and cedar.
To say that I enjoyed the La Flor Dominicana Limitado V would be an understatement. The cigar looked great, burned well, and offered a ton of flavor. I’d suggest it to experienced smokers seeking something full-bodied and full-flavored to enjoy after a nice meal. At around $11 each, the Limitado V is not cheap, but it’s worth purchasing for a special occasion. It also comes in packs of five or boxes of 48. It is limited, so don’t hesitate to pick one up if you want to experience all that it has to offer.
The La Flor Dominicana Limitado V earns a rating of four out of four stars.
Aging Room Quattro F55 Espressivo
Aging Room had a hit with its M356 release, as it showcased the brand’s overall aim to supply cigar fans with small batch releases containing rare tobaccos. The Aging Room Quattro F55 was released during the 2012 IPCPR show with the hopes of continuing the brand’s success in the small batch market. As for the name, Quattro supposedly refers to the cigar’s box-pressed shape, while F55 refers to the date on which it was completed. The F stands for February, and 55 stands for the day of the year. In other words, the Quattro F55 was completed on February 24. Now that all of that is out of the way, let’s take a closer look and see just how good the Aging Room Quattro F55 is.
The Aging Room Quattro F55 Espressivo measures 5 x 50. Other sizes in the line include the 4 1/2 x 46 Stretto, 6 x 52 Maestro, 6 x 54 Vibrato, and the 7 x 50 Concerto. The cigar's filler features a Habano Dominican filler and binder, while the wrapper is of the Sumatra 2003 variety. In terms of strength, the Quattro F55 is listed being medium-bodied.

I think you need to expand the basis of your scoring system, say to at least 10. It is not possible to express the subtle differences with only 20% point increments to judge by. This would mean that many cigars would get a 4 star rating, yet they could be much different in quality and value. A 100 point scale would allow for the subtle difference to mean something.
