Good cigar, a little on the expensive side, but I still love'em. Just an FYI The Carlito is Cameroon wrapper, the Don Carlos is Ecuadorian Sumatra. Thanks for the review!

Those have a really tight draw I think. He looks like he can handle it though :-)

Thank all of youfor your comments. You're all welcome to the format but just so you all know the scoring actualy breaks down further in my notes. Ex each third gets 1-10 points for appearence 1-10 points for construction 1-10 points for burn quality and 1-20 points for taste, then I add those and multiply by two to give the final total of 1-100 points :-)
