This cigar was brought to you by Purosdave:
All of the reviewers got their submissions in early this week so I decided to go ahead and get this on out there.
The high score on this one was 37 and the low was 32 with an average of 35.2.
Everyone seemed to be pretty well in agreement on this cigar.

What was it Dave?

PreSmoke:'My sample had one small hole in the wrapper, other than that it
was a good looking light brown little petite corona.

Triple cap I believe and the prelight draw was just the way I like it. It
took to the SAK very well just as it did the lighter.

'
Smoke:'After getting it lit I was a little surprised at the lack of flavor,
but after a half inch or so it picked up into a good medium cigar.
Nice nutty and sweet core of flavors, just not as deep as I thought it
might be. It stayed very consistent all the way to the nub. The burn was
dead on and the ash was a dark gray to black and just a bit flaky.
'
Summary:'A good little cigar. I won't attempt to guess the brand but I
will say it's a Cuban PC. Maybe some more sleep would deepen the character
one these and turn them around a bit. '

PreSmoke: 'This small ring (38)?, 5 inch PC had a broken foot. The
wrapper was fragile and very pale brown with small veins and a nice cap.'
Smoke: 'Fairly spicey with a cedar smell. Mild taste with a twang that
hits the back of your throat. Medium strength. Short black/brown ash.
The flavors are mostly spice and are too one-dimensional. '
Summary: 'This cigar has an ISOM twang to it, but I wish the cigar was a
little bigger or that it was constructed better (the tip ended up soggy
and squishy). I like PC's, but this one falls 'short.' I think a little
larger size would add complexity and would make it a winner. The finish
was almost non-existent. Just because it's an ISOM doesn't make it
great.'

PreSmoke: 'The cigar looks well made with a nice triple cap. The wrapper
is a colorado-claro wrapper with a green tint and rather rustic looking.
It feels well constructed with no soft spots. After cutting pre-light
draw was tight.'
Smoke:'This short panatela has a tight draw, but provides a mouthful of
smoke. It has a slight bitterness that would probably go away with some
more ageing. Starting out mild to medium bodied with a straight forward
Cuban tobacco flavor, it gradually grew in strength and body to the high
side of medium. The flavor remained one dimensional but also built as I
smoked it.'
Summary: 'This is a decent cigar. It goes well with chores or after lunch
when you may get pulled away. Also would be a good introductory cigar for
those that are starting with havanas. Definitely better cigars available
in this size.'

PreSmoke:'This was a light brown cigar although there were spots of green
on it. It was a bit dry and the wrapper was a bit loose. There was a
large vein in it. There were strange little bumps all along the body.'
Smoke:'From the construction I was surprised that it tasted good. It was
somewhere between mild to medium in body. It started a bit flat but built
up. The final third was very flavorful.

The loose wrapper was a problem a bit as I had to keep trying to keep it
from unraveling'
Summary:'On the whole an enjoyable smoke. I would smoke it again to see
if the assessment was good. I might get a better smoke if the wrapper
wasn't dry and unraveling.'
