DBall's Newb Blind Taste Test #5

ApexAZ · 04-15-2012, 03:23 PM

Hmmm, I didn't get much grass, but then again I didn't get much of anything except for the occasional sweet cream and charred wood flavor, which may be the sweet that Josh and I both tasted. I think the draw and burn issues really made it screwy though.

As far as being intimidated, don't be! I don't have a trained pallet whatsoever, so I just do my best to describe what I'm tasting. The rest is easy because its just a matter of documenting the details.

I agree, I didn't get any grass. If grass tasted the way this cigar did, I'd eat grass daily!

Also about the reviews, I'm not good at reviews. I just write down what I taste basically and document what I observe about the cigar.

It's pretty basic. Heck, look at my review compared to ApexAZ's. That guy can write a good review. Mines just basic.

What they smoked:

2011 Ramon Allones Allones Extra

ApexAZ score: 10

smitty81 score: 5

Ha! I love these things. I put this in as a way to test my theory that NC smokers would like this cigar... hahaha. I smoked one today, in fact, to see how I felt about it. This mo fo was STRONG and definitely not my favorite cigar. I picked up a fair amount of them and fully intend on letting the rest of the boxes sleep for a long, long time.

I think it is funny that these 2 have such differing views. If one likes it, the other hates it... and these were all side by side from the same box...

Quick question... are either of you blowing the smoke out your nose? If not, try it.
