my first picture review
well this being my first pic review I welcome any tip and and pointers to maybe my next review better.and please forgive the pic as all i have is my cell phone. thanks

MADE BY = TABACALERA STICK = M.J. Frias Cigars
SHAPE = TORPEDO
SIZE = 6.5" x 52
BODY = MED
WRAPPER = NATURAL

at first look she has a smooth looking wrapper and a smell of sweet spice then with a snip of the head and a cold draw she tasted just as she smells at this point I toasted her up and with the Bouquet of relaxation I drew my first puff a rather odd mild leathery but sweet flavor that lasted about 2" where the ash fell off then a unexpected lite fruit rush,wow what a mix I was able to enjoy up to the last 3rd of the stick when at this point became a strong mix of former with a touch of ceder right till the finger burning nub at what point I laid her to rest.

Re: my first picture review
Great review. Thanks for the pictures.

In some of the pictures it looked like the ground was focus rather than the cigar. If you're using a digi cam with a macro mode (it'll be the option with the picture flower) I'd recommend turning that on.

Re: my first picture review
I think it was a great review.I have only made a couple of reviews in here and yours was better than mine.My problem was I rambled on in the text rather than be more straight forward and to the point about it.

Re: my first picture review
Thanks for the review. It's always nice to get a new review on a cigar and it's even better when I haven't heard of the cigar. Thanks.

Something you can do that will show modest improvement to the picture would be to hold the cigar further away, and in your photo editor (doesn't have to be photoshop) zoom and crop. It may be slightly grainy but the cigar should be more in focus when using your phone.
