Thank you Pete!

Once again we will be looking for five reviewers to critique another Falto Cigar.  As you can see from the previous critique the Falto Mentor rated an impressive 89.4. I am sure Nathan can give us numbers on just how many critiques have rated this high or higher...

This cigar is just a little stronger so I am looking for folks that enjoy a full bodied cigar to do this review.


 

 “This cigar is available in one size only, the ‘Perfecto’.  It is  manufactured using a wooden mold from 1923, and is a cigar that  transports the smoker to the past.  With a closed head and foot, it is  thicker in the foot than in the head.  These cigars are bundled by a  cloth fabric and come with a production card that indicates three key  dates: when the cigar began it’s cedar aging, when it was packaged, and  with it left the factory.  The card is personally signed by Luis as a  warranty of quality.  The ‘Prominente’ uses a Cameroon wrapper that  accentuates a delicous potency.  It is a cigar with personality and  character, and a medium to full body strength that highlights the  elegant flavors of tobacco and espresso.” – Luis Falto

That Falto I had in the last GC was quite good.  Don't miss out again geeks!

If you're looking for volunteers, I'd be interested as well.  This is my perfect size and shaped cigar, and full bodied is just right.  Besides, this cigar is manufactured using a wooden mold from 1923, so it would bring back memories of my youth!  :biggrin:

I did the last Falto review, so I am guessing that I am not eligible for this one. However, I am always available as a backup reviewer if you have trouble finding 2 more geeks.  :biggrin:

The Falto Mentor is the 17th (out of 94) highest scoring Geek Critique we've had thus far.  The average across all 471 critiques is 85.4, so a 89.4 is pretty impressive.

 Thanks for the numbers Nathan! I had a feeling it was in the top 20 or so......  :rocker:

 

 Just need one more volunteer folks...... Don't be shy if you like a good full bodied smoke, this is it!
