This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by ntanner (Neil).

The Cigar: Undercrown shade Corona.

The Hype: Drew Estate Undercrown is the blue collar Liga Privada 9, created by the factory rollers when due to overwhelming demand, they were stopped from burning the Liga 9. Drew Estate's master blender, Willy Herrera, challenged the rollers to come up with a Connecticut based blend that would satisfy his palate, and with his input and assistance, the Undercrown Shade came into being.

Undercrown Shade is flavorful and balanced, with an Ecuadoran Connecticut wrapper atop a Sumatran binder and Dominican criollo 98' and Nicaraguan corojo and criollo long-fillers. Mild to medium-bodied, the blend is rich, complex, and balanced, bringing flavors of toast, nuts, subtle spice, and cream with an enjoyable sweetness with the finish. This is a milder cigar that will surprise and fascinate the full-bodied enthusiast.

Criteria: Veteran Status. Also must not have done a review within the last two months or are scheduled to do one in the future.

The Reviewers:

1. ntanner (Neil)
2. nirab (Brian)
3. Gustoff (Justin)
4. gitfiddl (Dave)
5. BewareDaPenguin (Adam)


Due Date: July 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 Neil for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker2:

Pete,please add nirab, Gustoff, gitfiddl and BewareDaPenguin. That makes the list, sorry    Emerson, you missed it by about an hour. I will notify when they ship.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.
