As it gets colder and colder my smokes keep getting shorter and shorter. This one is about as short as they come. Its only 3.5 x 30 and comes in a little box of 10. The wrapper, binder, and filler are all of central african origin. I am going to rate this based on my experience with other little cigars. This cigar cant really hang with the big boys but then again it cost 70 cents and can be finished in 20 minutes.
Appearance and construction - 11/15
One of the better looking little cigars. It still looks like a turd to me. It burns nice though.
Flavor - 20/25
Kicka$$ flavor for such a little stick. Better than the AF exquisitos, AVO puritos, or davidoff little cigars. For such a crude looking little cigar it has a surprisingly delicate and enjoyable finish. The flavor was medium with a spicy cameroon flavor and a little pepper at the tail end of the finish. Very sophisticated.
Smoking characteristics - 20/25
Smoked good for a small stick. Burn is even, ash is decent. All in all, these small cigars smoke pretty good although they look like crap.
Overall - 33/35
This category is where this baby shines. They are one of the best bargains out there IMO for 20 min smokes. I liked these better than some full sized smokes. They are small, cheap, fast and good. I have been enjoying these all week with my morning coffee.
Total: 84
