The Cigar: Alec Bradley Prensado Churchill (7x48)

The Specs:

Country Manufactured: Honduras
Filler: Honduran, Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Wrapper: Honduiran

The Hype: Introducing, Prensado....a rich a redolent handmade guaranteed to satisfy. This exquisite handmade employs a special '?Trojes' Corojo wrapper grown in Honduras and a flavorful blend of Nicaraguan, Honduran, and more Trojes long-fillers. Expect a bold and eventful blend that brings interesting flavors in spades. Buttery-smooth notes of deep, rich nuances including roasted flavors, coffee, and a dash of sweet red pepper. 96-rated and impressively built, that's Alec Bradley Prensado.

In addition to being named the Top Cigar of 2011, Alec Bradley Prensado received an unheard of, 96-point rating, noting, ""The Alec Bradley Prensado is as gorgeous a cigar as you'll ever see, with a picture-perfect head and a stunning wrapper. But it is the flavor that makes it a classic. The Honduran and Nicaraguan tobaccos come together to create leather, chocolate and spice notes, and a long, lush finish."

I'd be down for it if you'll take this noob. Looking to improve my review game.
Our country has plenty of five-cent cigars, but the trouble is they charge fifteen cents for them.
