AF Hemingway

First and foremost i must thank Mikey who supplied me with this fine stogie.

Size: i'm not really sure...i think i was the signature???...

Construction: At first glance this is a very very unique cigar with almost a closing at the foot. It looks great and the wrapper was very smooth, it was ALMOST a shame to smoke it... ;)

Lighting/Draw: It took about half a second to light this stogie because of the narrow foot. The draw was a bit on the tight side but nothing serious that hampered my experience.

Flavors: I would have to say that this stogie is a medium to full cigar. With hints of spice and wood i can really see why this was a favorite of Mikey......THANKS A MILLION!!!!

1-5
OVERALL: 5!!!!!!

CAO Gold

Size: 5 x 42

Construction: Very Smooth wrapper, no flaws and the the foot of the cigar is perfect

Lighting/Draw: Since this is a small cigar, lighting it was very easy. I was able to get a nice toasted ring all the way through the foot and i NEVER had to re-light it.

Flavors: i got hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. And this cigar presented an almost creamy sweetness that i have never tasted in a cigar.

I highly recommend this one to anyone who is looking for there first cigar

1-5

overall: 5

Partagas Black Label

Size: Bravo Length: 4 1/2 x 54

Construction: Short and Stumpy, very dark and surprisingly smooth wrapper, not veiny.

Lighting/draw: Lighting this stogie was fairly simple and it never needed a re-touch. The draw a little on the tight side put i guess that's normal when it comes it short cigars.

Taste: At first i will have to admit i thought this was going to be an excellent cigar but about an inch in to it....i got tired of smoking it because the only flavor i keep getting was the maduro taste that comes with a maduro wrapper. I got no other significant tastes or flavors from it!!!!

A let down... :(
