Once again, I have scored a cigar in the Overall Quality:Character summary at the very end, higher than the score reflects, as the total of the facts sometimes scores lower than my personal opinion of the cigar, based on my single spot at the end for pure opinion alone, for which I cherry pick certain qualities out the whole review that are most important to me, and assign a score and character, which was “Great" for this cigar, with an overall score of 92 out of 100, landing it at the very top of “very good” on the scale.
Personally, if you asked for a score off the top of my head a while after smoking, I would have said 96 or so, as it was a perfect overal performing, very tasty cigar.
Sorry for the lack of pics.totaly forgot to take more while iwas busy doing the review and of course, focusing hard on the cigar.
