This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by Appollo (Stephen).

The Cigar: San Cristobal de La Habana La Punta (5.5 x 52) Belicsco

The Hype: San Cristobal de La Habana remains an off-the-radar brand that is sold mostly to devoted followers who buy their cigars in La Casa del Habano cigar stores. San Cristobal was first introduced in 1999 in hopes of attracting smokers who found mainstream Cuban smokes too strong. The cigars have always impressed us with their lovely aromatic qualities of dried flowers and delicate tobacco. The cigar delivers plenty of rich earth and coffee flavors that evolve to leather and mahogany undertones.

The Reviewers: To be chosen by Stephen... Note: Two reviewers will be Canadian

Criteria: Must have a 100 points and 10 reviews under your belt. Also must not have done a review within the last two months or are scheduled to do one in the future.

1. headfirst (Gary)
2. Brlesq (Bruce)
3. The Burn Ward (Jared)
4. junglepete (Pete)
5. caveman steve (Steve)

Due Date: August 24, 2016.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this new initiative in place.

Thanks again to Stephen for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker2:

Tears are streaming down my pitiful face....would love to do this review but did one  about 2 months ago so unless somebody takes pity on me I'll be the one standing over in the corner with a sad face.

headfirst

I've never tried a San Cristobal so I'd love to do this one.  Does 10 reviews mean geek critiques or just reviews?  I have not done 10 critiques.  I did a February critique but am not scheduled for another one.  If I qualify and Stephen will have me sign me up!
