Either way, I'll go back to what you requested.
And if we're giving it a total score out of five, if a mod could revise my overall score to a 2.5/5 that'd be great

Although, cold flavors have to do with pre-light construction. What it smells/tastes like pre-light, may have nothing to do whatsoever to what it tastes like once lit. If you smell amonia, you know it is a cigar in the sick period - that's a pre-light construction issue.

If you don't care about aesthetics, but you score a cigar low in that area, would you still smoke it in spit of it being ugly? That's something you can note in general comments.
I have an idea, let us get rid of the overall score aspect of the review. That wasn't actually one of SMOKEs original categories. That way, people can take what they want away from the individual different areas of the review and think what they want.
