Looking forward to it kuz. If nothing else it'll be a good debate!

I have bought a lot of cigars because of Matt's review he is usually spot on.

Kuzi. I read some of your reviews before I found this site and thought wow, this guy is really into this hobby, and that you have to much time on your hands. You must have spent a lot of time and dedication to these reviews which I found incredibly informative. I tried several new cigars based on the information you provided and found many very rewarding. Thanks for the hard work, copywrite your info. and get published. You will make a fortune bro.

It may be too late once you post these they become public and anyone can claim them. Hey is there an attorney in our group ? One of our brothers in smoke needs a little help. ( I hope this doesn't effect future posts.) But seriously I believe that there is a market for well written, detailed reviews like you have provided. I use to buy a magazine that provided taste tests each months and that was the first thing I would look at, and use as a guide to future purchases.

Kuzi, the only suggestion I can imagine smokers would find useful in your review formula would be to figure a cost of stick/ enjoyment factor example: 5 Vegas Robusto @ 3.00 and that damn Gurkha Majesty @750.00

my mother in law works in a lawyers office that focuses on copyright law. ill give her a call soon. im not looking to sell my reviews, i just dont want others to make money off of my work. If i can make money out of it then cool. if not, i was in this for me from the get go so it wont make a lick of difference.

Sorry it was a letdown, kuzi. But a great review, as always. I'm not sure I've ever had a cigar that tasted grassy.

Damn kuzi I hate it when you're right I smoked this tonight. It has been resting for quite some time, at least 8 months. I'll say this it doesn't age well. I experienced the same burn issues and was constantly correcting. I would have to describe the main flavor as more barnyard than anything else. When it was but a young cigar, i.e. straight from the B&M it was earthier and fuller bodied with more spice. The resting made it more mild and brought out the barnyard, grassy taste. The middle third did however, hit a new an interesting flavor to me almost a coconut husk flavor, smell an uncracked coconut and you'll know the taste I'm speaking of. I'm not one to talk about off the wall flavors but this one was. Kuzi you're right average cigar not very complex and dissappointing. I forgot I had this guy resting and got excited bc I knew you were doing a review on it. I still have a maduro resting as well. Going to an Rocky Patel event tomorrow night at the B&M so I'll hopefully come home with some new RP's.

i know your just playing, but that is a valid point. to some degree at least. this is the first cigar that i have noticed burning faster than i would like (or think it should)

kuzi16

man... i should post more in here. freakin work is getting in my way... come to think of it, i dont think i put my review of the cg4 in here.... poop!!

Yes, you really should. I assumed you weren't posting more because you were smoking mostly stuff you'd already reviewed. But if you're smoking new stuff and not reviewing it -- not cool, man. You're cheating us.

its worse than that. i havent had a cigar in almost a week. I hope to end that trend tonight. well see how it goes.

kuzi16

i hope this was a bad one. I hear that they are hit or miss. i guess i missed this one.

I'll cross my fingers for you, cuz that's just keepin' a brother down.

kuzi16:

It has harshness to it. The second puff was nowhere near as harsh. I blame the overly harsh start on the light. It lit quick. Too quick.

Can you expand on this connection, a bit? I sometimes experience harshness at the beginning of a cigar, but I'd never noticed it corresponding to how the cigar lit. Is the connection just that the cigar is a bit too dry at the foot, which produces harshness?

kuzi16

lit too quick means that there was too much heat. scoarched tobacco. If you constantly notice that your cigars tend to "settle down" a bunch right off the bat then there is a good chance that you are lighting it to quick (too hot) some cigars react to this differently thatn others ive noticed. this one was just very harsh.

j0z3r

I know what you mean by "lit too quick", I've had some cigars take to a good torching just fine without any harshness and some just flat out revolt against my poor taste buds if I don't take at least 90-120 seconds to light it.

urbino

Interesting. I'll have to pay more attention to my lighting technique. Thanks, guys!

Wow kuzi, That is a completely different review then what I read here about a month ago from Maduro.. I had this cigar as well and found it more in the middle of both your reviews.. I found the burn uneven the construction flawed by nick and chips in the wrapper but the flavor above average but not as wide ranging as Maddy experienced.. I smoked this in the company of many non-cigar people and a few commented on the pleasant aroma.. so that is a well stated quality of this cigar. I slowed down on this one because of the burn issues too I couldn't keep it straight.. Not a bad cigar but not one I would seek out again.. This one doesn't show up on many shop shelves near me and must have limited "catalog" homes as well..
