Last Words:
A tasty, satisfying cigar.	If you like mild cigars I'm sure this is a good one, but for the price I don't think it'd be worth it.
It's all riding on the Whiny Bitches savant Logan at this point. Hopefully our ringer comes through!	Enjoyable, but I'd prefer a smaller vitola.
Good cigar, not my cup of tea but still a good smoke.	Avo 85th Anniversary fits the bill. Lots of flavor but not much of a punch.
Not a bad cigar at all it just was not what I prefer to smoke.	Excellent! That is all.
Nice tobacco flavor in the last third of the cigar. Kind of mild. The narrow end of the head presents some interesting flavors at the end of the cigar. It's well made - not perfect, but well made. I appreciated the even burn, but the spice, when present, was just too much.	I enjoyed this one quite a bit. I have liked all of the review cigars to this point but for me this one has been the best. I would definitely buy this one again. The very subtle spice of it along with the nice thick smoke make this one a very pleasant smoke.
To me, this is what a cigar should be. Strong flavor and lots of smoke. I loved this thing! My only wish is that I smoked this at night with a good beer. Can you send me another one please?	Took a second clip off the cap in the first third which really helped this cigar. The first clip with my ''perfect cutter'' made the draw too tight due to the small hole.

Editor's Note:

These cigars were purchased from My Stogie. We picked them up for $289.90 with free shipping (2 boxes of 10). The cigars came nicely packaged, in nice hinge-top cedar boxes. I didn't see any damage to the cigars and the two bands came off fairly easily without much wrapper damage.

Irish79 is now in the lead, the Whiny Bitch team figured out the exact identity of Halle and nailed her price. Good luck with the next round guys!

Ah, nobody has said a goddamn thing about this cigar review.

I'll say it, I really liked it.

Thanks for putting this in the mix Jamie & Buzz!
