Lets see if this review fairs better.
The Carlos T silver label isn't a cigar i normally go for but hay i got it in a sampler so what the hell at least i've made some space.
Construction - It was pretty well made there where no soft spots and the draw was good though there was a slight crack in the wrapper at the foot.
Pre light - The smell coming off this thing was what i would associate with a cheap bundle cigar i didn't find it very pleasant and i really didn't get much taste at all on the draw.
1/3 - It was on the mild side really not much flavour at all the best i could pick out was a dry grassy taste which continued throughout the first third.
2/3 - Finally things look like they are picking up while its still quite mild and grassy im detecting a creaminess to the smoke and what i would describe as a powdered chocolate taste.
Unfortunately this wouldn't last through out the second third and would die off about half way through.
3/3 - At this point its becoming bitter and harsh so i leave it with about two inches to go.
All in all like most of the Carlos T line i didn't enjoy it the flavours where nearly non-existent and it was just dull and boring.

I haven't had one of the silver labels in probably 5 years. My favorite was the Signature line. At one time, it was one of my main "go-to" sticks, and probably my favorite maduro. I still have a box of them that is now at least 5 years old. Probably should pull some out to the humidor, and give it a try again! I don't remember the silver label, so it must not have been anything special!
