Since I didn't review this month I can't pick for next. That said, I still nominate The Egg.

Honestly, up till last year release of San Cristobal and La Aroma de Cuba, I wasn't impressed with Don Pepin's cigar. I was turned off from the initial release of the San Cristobal, which is basically a pepper bomb. Last year, I changed my mind: First La Aroma de Cuba, then San Cristobal, then in Las Vegas a few months ago, I tried My Father the first time. In any case, I hope you all will enjoy my pick this month. |

Date: 4/17/10
Cigar: My Father #2 (5.5 x 54) Cost: Don't remember Drink: Orange Crush Appearance: This has a habano rosado wrapper on it. The wrapper is flawless. It has one of the best bands I have ever seen on a cigar. The appearance gets a 10/10 
Pre-Light: The cigar smells great. The smell is very floral and sweet. I didn't pick up much flavor on the pre-light. Construction: Held an average ash. The draw was perfect. Taste of the cigar: The first 1/4" has a strong cedar/wood taste to it. About 1" in, the flavor is cedar/wood as well as some coffee flavors. The cedar/wood/coffee flavor remained throughout the rest of the cigar. 
Strength: This is a medium bodied cigar. Summary: This cigar was pretty average to me. It was pretty one-dimensional. I like the lancero size better because it is more complex and you can really pick up the wrapper flavors. I give this cigar a 7/10. |

My first monthly update. My Father #2.
This is most definitely a medium bodied cigar without a lot of dimension to its taste. The wrapper was really nice, only one small imperfection, nothing worth noting. It was definitely not strong, I didn't get much nicotene out of it, which I don't mind. The draw was pretty light but I wouldn't say it was a negative, just not a positive. All in all, I wasn't impressed with this cigar for the money and the hype, I wouldn't buy it again. I'd say a 7/10 in the end. |

I will ask DWFAN to change the monthly review to a regular MOW. Still, a great cigar, I wish more people had reviewed it, I felt lonely

Smoked a regular MoW tonight, and was thoroughly impressed as always... Pre-light draw was a bit tight, and draw remained that way throughout the whole smoke, but this didn't detract from it's overall enjoyment...
Noticed quite a bit of "spice" up front with the cigar which dropped off after about the first 1/4, but the flavor stayed constant and was nice and smooth... If the draw had been a bit better I'd give it a 9/10, but as it was I'd still give it a 8.5 ...If you haven't tried one yet, do yourself a favor and order at least a fiver...

Sorry guys, ran out of time, but thanks for all the congrats.
But as I've smoked many of these, my review is the regular MOW is a good smoke, give it a 8.5, and the Ruination is a great smoke, getting a 9.0. There.

Meant to do this a few days ago while it was still May. Any who I'm going to take a shot at typing a review for the Man O War. I have used a V cutter to cut this. My predraw(unlit)is nice and easy slight taste of what I would call baked bread or lightly toasted bread. First few draws I'm not sure of how to describe the taste,but it's far from harsh or over powering. Might be a nut of some kind. Starting to get some peppery taste mixed with something else (possible some type of spice)maybe 1/4 the way in. Past the quarter mark and getting a bread like taste. Somewhere around the halfway mark I'm getting a mix of what I call bread hints of pepper and maybe cocoa. Not sure,but I like it. Almost at the last quarter still have that nice toast taste with some spice. Not sure how to explain the taste I'm getting in the end,but this is one of the better cigars I've smoked.
Side notes: drink was a diet coke, dumped the ash often so I can't tell how well it would hold ash long term. The ash was about an inch and a half when I dumped it. I am very new to cigar smoking so critique away. ETA: Out of the few cigars I've smoked I would easily give this a 9. |

Out of the way. Slavac don't make me do a review on the swiser sweet.

Slavac are you going to do the Cain F review? If not let me know and I'll fumble around the mass assortment I have and get a review up on something sometime this week. I know school is more important than a review. So I'm not going rag on you for studying instead of doing a review.

Cain F Torpedo
Price: $10.50 at local cigar shop Drink: Firestone Double Barrel Ale (good local amber beer) Construction: The cigar had a nice construction, held ash very well, stayed lit an burned evenly. The pull was a little on the light side, but overall I really liked the look of the Cain F and the wrap was extremely oily in a good way. Nicotene Strength: Not a strong cigar, but I definitely got a little buzz off it and I tend to be pretty resistant to nicotene. Taste: I really liked the initial taste of the cigar, it was very smooth, but the cigar was pretty one note, after about an hour I was a little over half way through and the taste never changed. Once it was about 3/4 the way through I lost interest and put it out. Overall the cigar was fine, but I enjoyed the other Cain cigars more. Score: 7.5 |
