APPEARANCE/STRUCTURE: (15 points maximum)

A 4x44 PigTail with a Redish Dark flawless wrapper with a silky smooth texture.....no hard or soft spots when I rolled it in my fingers.

15 points

SMOKING PERFORMANCE: (25 points maximum)

The burn was perfect and even, ample amounts of smoke and the texture of the smoke just filled your mouth.

24 points

FLAVOR: (25 points maximum)

The taste was rich & earthy with a full bodied flavor packed into this little cigar.

24 points

OVERALL IMPRESSION: (35 points maximum)

This cigar shot right out of the gate.....no messing around with a mild start. It's med/full strength and full bodied with a taste you can feel all the way in the back of your throat. The strength even built up as this little puppy burned. Don't be fooled by it's size......This cigar kicks butt.

34 points

Total 97 points!! YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMY!!!!

They won't be available to the public for at least 2 more weeks. :-(
Thank goodness I'm on the review panel.

Okay, My Question is: How do I get on the review panel? As I too would love to enjoy some great smokes and be able to evaluate them.

If I tell ya......I'd have to kill ya! J/K
I signed up at cigarweekly.com and became a reviewer there.......I guess it just grew from that. It took years.

I knew it was one of those secret hand shake thingy!

Actually, I signed up there and never received any information. Maybe I have not waited long enough - It has only been 6 Months.

smithbw, you must be an "active" member to do reviews.
I believe you must have at least 25 posts, it maybe 100.....I'm not positive on the post count amount.

I think it's a thousand posts TOJE.

By the way, thanks for not including "a hint of vanilla and rice paper" or something to that effect, in your description. That's why I gave up on reading CA reviews.
