Note: filler, binder and wrapper info is from Cigar Scanner and information from a 2010 review online, so may not be completely accurate, as I am unable to find the No.3 vitola mentioned anywhere in an extensive Google search, and recent production seems to be a slightly different blend using some Brazilian leaf.

Cigar Humidimeter reading:61%

A 5.5x40 Corona with a fine, smooth, but veiny, mottled dark brown, Colorado maduro, Ecuadorian wrapper, smooth, very small cap, and a firm bunch.

Constructed of Dominican, Nicaraguan and Peruvian filler, and Dominican binder, and made in the Dominican Republic.

Even burn, flat coal, mottled grey typical ash, and a perfect draw.

It did peel badly at the head immediately after being cut,* even using the method of laying the cutter on a flat surface and inserting the head and cutting, but some glue fixed it fine and no further issues of any kind.

Excellent smoke volume and a strong, fragrant aroma

Of ample richness, smooth, mellow, mild-medium strength, generous body and perfectly balanced flavor of woodiness and floral tastes, and a generous finish of the same.

No sweetness, bitterness, burn on the tongue, sharpness or saltiness

Outstanding character and an overall outstanding cigar, with a final score of 96 out of 100.

The highest score I have given to date and it was well earned.

Nice review and agree these are good smokes.

Thanks. Still working on getting all the proper information out in my reviews.

Its been an evolving process being a newbie to reviews.

Emailed the form i fill out as I'm smoking the cigar for review to @jefslat for a professional opinion on what I should add or omit, or how to just make my reviews better.

Much appreciate his willingness to help me out as he seems like a pretty busy guy, so its very nice of him to take a little bit of his time to go over the form and my reviews.

I friggin love cigars
