[LORD PUFFER]

Forgive my rookie review skills, but I will try and get my opinion across.....w/ no pics. Sorry pervs, not a photoshop expert either.

Picked up a guerrero for 14.99 (I know, I know). First thing I noticed was the difference in weight and the looseness of the filler, compared to other pepin blends. Wrapper did have more of that Cubanesque look to it though.

Prelight- What threw me off is I really didn't notice any aroma from the stick. I got curious and clipped with my Palio.

Light- No problems there. First few puffs seemed very mild, very creamy. I almost was dissapointed as I am not into pepins for the smooth creamy profile. After the 1st inch I realized that was not the case. this is just a VERY smooth blend, probably aged well.

After this got going the spice started to pick up, but never turned into a bomb, like the blues or the SC gets. The flavor kept changing from a bready cream back to the typical Pepin spice and cinnamon, but always stayed mellow. It confused my palate, but kept me interested due to the constant flavor changes.

This smoke never really got its kick, but the flavor was very interesting. that is about all I can say at this time. I may have to try more to decide just how good these smokes are.

Construction-6- Draw was lighter than I like, but didn't burn hot. Just wasn't the craftsmanship I was expecting
Flavor-8- Not one bad flavor in this. Just never got to knocking my socks off, but the changes kept me interested. Not a boring smoke for sure
Finish-9- Flavor stayed a good while after smoking
Value-4- 14.99 is just too much to pay for a smoke that still has me on the fence about.

Overall-7- the price is really the reason for this score, as I enjoyed the smoke, but don't know if it is as good as the JJ or the Blue. Definetly outdone by the San Cristobal. I will try more if I can find a better price, but not worth anything above 12 dollars.

Thank you for listening to my attempt at reviewing a cigar that probably could describe itself better than me.
