RevSmoke's Blind reviews

RevSmoke · 08-06-2010, 06:31 AM

#3 from Kgoings:

1) Aesthetics: Natural in color. 150mm X 49 gauge. The cigar had a semi dry sheen with a couple veins. 4.5

2) Pre-light Construction: Not much of a smell to the cigar, seems to be a hard spot right in the middle, no soft spots. Prelight draw is extremely tight, I hope its not plugged. 3.7

3) Post-light Construction: Upon lighting my fear came true, cigar is plugged. Very hard to draw much of anything at all. I used a draw poker a couple times and it did nothing to the draw. 2.0

4) Flavor and Strength: I could only finish the first third of this cigar, and the flavor I got I didnt like. The only think I tasted was pepper. Hot on the tongue. 1.0

5) Finish/Aftertaste: Long finish which was the same as the flavor pepper only. 1.0

6) Aroma: The aroma of this cigar smelled very nice. I am not sure if the flavors would have developed into something nice but I still would have given it a low rating. I don't like the pepper flavor. 4.0

7) General Comments: Plugged cigar, the only flavor I got was pepper. 1.0

8) Recommendation: Not Recommended. I would give it another try to see if it changed its complexity and flavors.

Over All 2.0

#3 from Fissure:

Cigar #3 has a ring gauge of 46 while being 6 inches long.

1. The cigar has a light wrapper that seems pretty dry. It has some minor veins, but nothing horrible.

Aesthetics score 3

2. Construction was a little spongy with a medium density. The wrapper was pretty well cracked at the foot, maybe from the dryness. It had a grassy barnyard smell to it.

Construction Score 2.5

3. The cigar has a very nice draw, with a little bit of smoke pulling through after taking a draw. The ash is very light gray and a little flaky. The ash holds on for only about an inch. It does burn evenly and is cool smoking. It does get spongier as you continue to smoke.

Post Light Construction Score 2.5

4. This is a mild cigar that starts off bland and slightly bitter. The more I smoke I get some woody flavor, but that's about it. It continues the bitterness with some acidic properties thrown in, even after repeated purging.

Flavor and Strength Score 2

5. The aftertaste is slightly bitter, with no real flavor at all. The bitterness dries out my mouth and makes me want a drink. Not pleasant.

Aftertaste score 2

6. The aroma is not as bad as the taste, but still underwhelming. It smells light and grassy.

Aroma score 2

7. I did not enjoy this cigar mostly due to the bitterness. It was really unpleasant.

Overall score 2

8. I would not recommend this cigar to even the casual cigar smoker who is used to Macanudo's or Gurkhas
