Popular Post dominattorney Posted November 23, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted November 23, 2020 Cohiba Genios (49NRW) This was a tough week. My wife's oldest son got into a car crash and is living with us to convalesce. Thankfully he will fully recover, yet its no fun to have to wait on an adult hand and foot for two weeks while you also rush to finish significant work on a deadline. This cigar was a chocolate bomb. Couldn't fault it from start to finish. Perfect construction and flavors built up from chocolate and cream in the beginning, to some darker chocolate and spice in the middle to crescendo in an espresso chocolate spice bomb finale. Wonderful. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dominattorney Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 H Upmann magnum 50 (49NRW) Writing motions last afternoon and this was my companion. Wrapper popped early on, but it thankfully didn't completely unravel. Underfilling toward the head causes it to go out in the final third and finish on a lackluster note. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you @StogieSteve23. Thankfully, it was only bad enough to teach him a lesson about paying attention while driving. He is already walking around and making jokes so all systems are to for him to be back to normal by the end of January. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bijan Posted November 26, 2020 Share Posted November 26, 2020 13 minutes ago, ChangBang said: Bolivar Royal Corona 5.5/10 Nice to see actual grades that are honest. You must be new to reviews ?? In cigar reviews 70/100 means you got violently ill from the cigar ??? If you check the other reviews someone reviewed one of those gave it 90/100 and said they wouldn't spend their own money on it... I was confused and I'm used to the crazy scale. I just stopped putting numbers to my reviews. There's a guy who does 0/1 scale of whether it was good or bad. That's not bad. Maybe I'll do a 0-5/5 star scale going forward as that is what is used by Cuban cigar website. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just start the scale at 85 then lol, wonder what a 0/100 would be? Poison? For me the 0/1 scale is too vague, I certainly don't remember all the cigars I smoke and want a better record to see what I want to either not buy, buy a 6er, buy a discounted box, or buy a box at regular price. I did the 0/5 scale too but too many ties so I was having to do a bunch of decimals which was annoying. 0-10 works for me for now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
