Four Cigars Reviewed in 100 Words vol. VI

DREW ESTATE UNDERCROWN SHADE GRAN TORO

An exceptionally performing Toro with only fleeting nuances around a sunny and zesty mild experience. Hanging around is an attainable natural tobacco with inherent sweetnesses.

FINAL GRADE: A-

FELIX ASSOULINE RINGO BULLET

A beautifully constructed, nice 'nuff performing box-pressed Robusto, bulging of richly black peppered roasted dark earth. Rather on a line, nuanced slightly by espresso woodiness.

FINAL GRADE: B+

OLIVA CAIN F LANCERO

Quite well-built. Full profile'd primaries of verily peppery melange/earth. Other-thans all belong to earth; cocoa, anise, espresso, cola -- giving way to charcoal and tar.

FINAL GRADE: B+

JNV MADURO

A Churchill with some combustion woes and snug draw. Forward black pepper and espresso bean notes, backed by rich yet dry compost with anise vibe.

FINAL GRADE: B
