Ok, guys. I'm posting my reviews here, because this is the follow up to our Blind Taste Test trade, and maybe not as many people will see my horrible reviews here....
Ok, I know I need to preface these with the following warning - I am NOT a seasoned cigar pro, nor have I ever professed to have even a shred of good taste at all! So keep the humiliation to minimum! Here goes:
Cigar #1 (RED)
This was a small, natural, light colored belicoso shaped cigar - about 5" by 50-52 (I'm horrible w/ gauges). It seemed to have decent construction, but the tobacco seemed slick, and very young. Didn't have much of a smell to it, but smelled a little green. Cut was a little crunchy, but it held up ok. Prelight draw was good. It lit up pretty well but didn't give off much smoke. A few puffs yielded decent smoke with a decent flavor, but then it quickly mellowed down to not much of anything. The burn was good, but then the draw got tight on me - I've never had this happen before. I puffed it like I do all my 'gars, but it started having trouble staying lit. About halfway through it still didn't have much taste and I started getting less smoke out of it. Smoked it to about 2" without ever getting much of anything from it. I don't know about a rating, less than 5, probably. I didn't like this one.
Ok, Coma - this was a $15 Diamond Crown, right?? : )
