DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test Thread #2

DBall · 03-04-2010, 12:01 PM

What they smoked:

2001 Juan Lopez Corona

Montano score: 8.5
Riff Raff score: 8.2

I'm glad there's nearly consensus on at least one cigar finally. The first one of these I was gifted blew my mind, grabbed a handful of boxes and got the same 'meh' impression Riff Raff did with some of them.

Sometimes, though, they shine.

Interesting how the flavor profile is different for both the testers. I think this is a good thing because it does probably encompass what a larger test group would find.

Nice reviews guys. and thanks to Dan for the cigars.
