First Third This cigar was enjoyed at my local cigar lounge and paired it up with Miller Genuine Draft. Average looking petit corona. Meduim tan shade wrapper that has a few small viens and is in the round. Cut this cigar cleanly with my Xiker cutter. Pre light draw is very easy and I get flavors of tobacco and cedar. Lit this cigar up and I get loads of smoke. I taste flavors of tobacco, wood and some leather.
Second Third This cigar is still drawing and burning like a champ. I needed a minor touch up to keep it burning even. I'm still getting flavors of wood, leather and some sort of baking spice that I can't identify. I'm really liking this cigar. I bet it would have even went better with a Rum and Coke instead of beer.
Last Third: Cigar is still burning and drawing well all the way to the end. The baking spice flavor has disapeared and I taste wood, leather and a nuttyness. Cigar lasted about 45 min.

Total score out of 100 points being the perfect cigar. This cigar gets a score of 88 from the scoring system. But I give it a 90.
Summary: This was a nice meduim to meduim full cigar that I would recomend to novice as well as experienced smokers. I think it would go great in the morning with a cup of coffee or in the afternoon with a good drink.

Cigar #5
Prelight
Nice chocolate colored wrapper, with a few veins here and there. Very uniform in color…Nice leaf covering this cigar.
The foot gave up a sweet caramel note, and the cold draw provided light earthiness.
First Third
Initial notes of butter with a creamy texture…Slightly flat finish. A background of oak with notes of poppy seeds. Ash was solid, and ‘zebra striped’ with distinct, alternating rings of dark grey and white.
Second Third
Buttery texture turned chalky, and the finish remained semi-bitter. The ash remained solid, and the thin burn line indicated age. A mineral taste developed just into the second third. Well constructed cigar burned well, needing minor corrections.
Last Third
Background of light earth and oak with notes of poppy seeds and rye. Flavor profile was very convoluted and mineral tasting. The finish remained lacking, tasting of parsley.
Closing
Well made cigar with some age, but lacked a pronounced flavor profile. A mineral taste of raw potatoes along with a flat finish made this cigar difficult to stay with.
55/100

Review No. 5 comes from my back porch on a Sunday morning with a nice cup of Black Dog coffee and the Beatles playing on the ipad. It doesn’t get much better than this! Cigar no. 5 is a Marevas sized cigar with a medium chocolate brown colored wrapper that was beautiful. There were no veins on the smooth, leathery wrapper. I clipped the well done triple cap and noticed some earthy smell from the unlit tobacco. The pre light draw was very firm, more so than I like which worried me. The cigar was firm and seemed evenly packed but not rock hard.
The flavors I got from this cigar were a bit sweet and creamy with some hints of bean, maybe from the coffee I was enjoying. The draw opened up very nicely after the first few puffs which was a big relief, I had visions of this cigar being so firm that I would not enjoy it at all. There was a great body of smoke that was rich in texture. The aroma was a very pleasant woodsy smell.
Around the beginning of the second third, the flavors started to build in strength, becoming more woodsy and earthy, but still on the sweet side. There was still a lot of smoke. The burn on the cigar was quite good and the ash held together nicely. I also was struck by the very long finish on the cigar that reminded me of smoked meat. Maybe I was thinking about the beef tenderloins I was going to smoke later in the day!
The last third of the cigar got a little more strong but relaxed a bit when I purged the cigar. The burn was very good during the entire smoke with very little deviation. The ash held together well too. The sweet, bean notes and creamy texture kept on going at this stage of the cigar. The last inch of the cigar started to get bitter so I let it go out.
My guess as to this cigar is Cohiba Siglo II. I really enjoyed this cigar a lot, thanks to the reviewer that supplied it!

This cigar was very tight with little flavor to start but did improve, I would have tossed it had it not been a test cigar. PC's are one of my favorite sizes and to have a tight draw is almost unheard of, I believe this to be a PLPC from 08 and rate it 77. I hope I"m wrong as I love this cigar well not "this" cigar.
