The Cigar: Joya de Nicaragua Numero Uno L'ambassadeur

The Specs:
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Connecticut
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Mild-Medium
Size: 6.625" x 44

Shipping: US addresses only

Due Date: March 25, 2022

The Hype:
NĂºmero Uno was originally blended for World Leaders and handed out by Nicaraguan ambassadors on official missions around the world. In 2018, Joya de Nicaragua gifted some of these cigars to media and special audiences and got their highest rating in 50 years. Joya de Nicaragua is now officially releasing it as part of Obras Maestras, the designation of their ultra-premium family of cigars.

The Reviewers:
Open to everyone, but volunteers already doing the March review should give others a chance before volunteering. This review will be due by March 25, so please take into account your schedule and only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Brian will make the final selection.

Note[/i]: 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 initiative in place.

Thanks again to nirab for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!


ntanner

I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

I used to be a people person, but then people ruined that for me.

Every loaf of bread is a tragic story of a group of grains that could have become beer but didn't.

Brian, I'll jump on board if you have an open slot.

I haven't done a Geek Critique in a few years, and life is settling back down into a close to normal routine, so I would be up for one.
I'm right 98% of the time.  Who cares about the other 3%?

tuck0411

I'm always a sucker for a good conny, so count me in if needed.   :smoker2:
