This is a review of cigar #4:

Smoking: The pre-light draw tasted like hay and sweet tobacco. That usually makes me think Nicaraguan. After the first few puffs I felt that this might the best cigar suited to my tastes so far. A little bit of spice came through at first, much like a green pepper spice and it mixed well with other flavors of leather and tobacco. The cigar was not dynamic nor was it complex. But these 3 flavors seemed to be right up my alley. Leather, tobacco and a bit of spice that got sweet every now and again. These flavors continued throughout the entire cigar.

Construction: 15/25 (burned very funky and needed to be fixed quite often)
Flavor: 70/75

Total: 85/100

I really liked this cigar. If it is not a Nicaraguan, I need to re-examine some things. This wasn't the best tasting cigar ever, but it did hit the spot for me last night. It just needed to burn a lot better.

My Guess: I am going to guess some sort of Oliva.

Cigar #4 was a Indian Tabac Maduro. I am truly shocked. I guess time really did these well.
