l. I am using a 1-to-100 score but it is
not similar to the ratings by CA and the such. For my reviews here is
the key. I am rating them according to my personal tastes but also for
construction and burn.
90+=Classic. In theory only the true masterpieces will fall in here.
80-89=Good (low 80's) to Excellent(High 80's) cigars.
75-79=Solid cigar I would enjoy smoking again.
70-74=Borderline acceptable for my tastes. Probably not one I will revisit but not horrible
60-69=Not enjoyable to me flavorwise. May not fit my taste profile and others may enjoy.
59 and below=Bad cigars I would not recommend to anyone.
Here is how I rated the various offerings from the sampler. (score in parenthesis). All were churchills.
I sampled these on three different days
P1-(Supposed to be a Partagas/Punch Clone)....Good construction and a nice even tight burn...nice draw,,,great flavors..earthy, chocolate, espresso...middle third the best....very solid..Partagas or Punch?? Sure...maybe better....Score=83
MC-S(upposed to be a Montecristo Clone)...Construction is good...burn was solid and the draw was fine but a just a little tight...good but not great flavors but more of a personal preference...I'm struggling to identify the flavor but it is found in other name cigars I have had that I also didn't find suting to my taste...I'd say woody but I like some woody smokes.......a little harsh on the end...I can see people liking this one a lot if this is your thing but for me it is just ok...Bottom line if someone offered me one of these I would gladly smoke it but it wouldn't be one I would want to purchase again myself. Montecristo?? I guess I can see the similarities...Score=73
M1-(Supposed to be a Macanudo clone)....draw a little tight...burn a bit uneven in spots but never a major issue...mild smoke in body but the flavor to me is harsh particularly in the last third...flavors were OK....creamy at times....but the harshness of the finish really turned me off...Macanudo?? I haven't had one in awhile but I remember it as being smoother on the finish...not a cigar I would want to try again. Score=67
Overall Thoughts:..Decent cigars but not as good as the cigar.com blends in my opinion...I will probably order some P1's in the future though.
