This is why rating a cigar is tough -- great flavor and poor construction OR great construction and poor flavor both make for a bad cigar.
Flavor and construction are very tightly coupled when reviewing a cigar, but I would put flavor first as you can ususally do something about a plugged cigar or a pealing wrapper.
(BTW, Tom -- how do you know what ass tastes like???)
