Phillies chocolate

This is another flavored cigar that was send to me by Volt as a joke, he already relieved me from my duties to review it, but I gave him my word and what am I if my word isn’t good enough anymore? The other reviews are here, here and here

This is a 5 inch ring 41 cigar with a dark wrapper, nice and clean, but it’s no real tobacco. The wrapper is tobacco paper. There is a little hole in the back so you don’t need to cut the cigar. The aroma is sweet and not recognizable.

At the predraw I could actually taste some chocolate, but a cheap, bad, chemical chocolate while I like the high quality dark chocolate. After lighting the cigar the chocolate flavor disappears and it’s just a chemical sweetness.

The tobacco paper leaves a strange ash, but the draw, smoke and burn are good. This isn’t a good cigar, no way, but it is not as worse as the Lars Tetens Gorillafinger or the Phillies Peach and White Owl pineapple I smoked before.

Would I buy this cigar again? A simple NO is the answer to this question.

Construction: 14 / 20
Draw: 12 / 20
Appearance: 8 / 20
Smoke & ash: 7 / 10
Burn: 7 / 20
Aroma (first part) 4 / 10
