/Cigar Reviewer André
Good to hear you got to 88pts, to me there was no flavour at all and I chucked it half way as more bland than tofu.
Haha sadly I can’t base my score alone on just taste, but sure it can sway opinions left and right. And it’s always tricky with these limited releases as one can wonder if they actually try at all to make a great cigar occasionally?
