Chris Adolph
Appearance: Maduro, fairly dark. Slightly dry with a couple of prominent veins. 7 chris
Construction: Well Generally acceptable pre-light. Mo damage to body/foot. Feels tight to light pressing. Cigar holding up well through early stages to mid. Holds up fine throughout.  Nothing unexpected. 7.5
Draw & Burn: Initial draw was unencumbered and easy. Seems to let off more residual smoke thou expected. Early burn is mostly even. Ash appears darker-gray and flaky. Burning a little hot at mid point. Burn going askew @ 1st half. Continues to end. 7
Flavor & Strength: Good strength from start. Possible hints of bitter sweet chocolate. Not a lot of distinguishable flavors to cigar. Reminiscent of a Macanudo. Seems to leave a lot of taste in the mouth after each "pull". Takes a bit of time for the flavor to dissipate. 6
Final Impression: While lit / finish and draw are decent.  I am not overly impressed with the flavor, and the "after taste" that seems to linger. I would place this cigar in the $4.50 - $5.50 per stick range. I would most likely not smoke it again. 6.5
Tasted with water.

Joe T.
Appearance: Lush dark wrapper-very nice sheen, thin smooth veins throughout entire cigar. 8.5 kfc_14
Construction: Very dense cigar to the touch & very well rolled. Almost heavy. 8
Draw & Burn: Slightly tight draw, not to bad. Uneven burn at the start, slight canoeing. Uneven burn straightened out on its own. Dark thick blister at burn line. 8.3
Flavor & Strength: Good sweetness & spice at light up. Well balanced, smooth to blow thru the nose, light sting. Flavor/boldness intensifies midway. Very good & rich in flavor, coffee & leather undertones. 8.5
Final Impression: Very good cigar for the medium to full bodied smoke. 8.5
Tasted with water.

Construction: Uniform throughout, sound construction. Wrapper held up well. 8
Draw & Burn: Somewhat tight, good burn however. Opened up more in the middle. 7.5
Flavor & Strength: Medium strength, dry finish, short finish. Earthy, woody overtones & some spice.  Gets fuller in the middle. 7
Final Impression: Nothing to shout about!  Would not put in my rotation. Not very satisfying for my taste. 7
