The Cigar: Montecristo Epic Robusto (5.0 x 52)

The Hype: Rolled by the Elite!

Once upon a time, in a land far, far away there was a mystical collection of tobacco experts dubbed the 'Grupo de Maestros.' Their mission was to create the most flavorful, full-bodied blend under the Montecristo name. The result was EPIC! Hands down this is as premium as they come, and the masterminds behind this glorious creation should definitely be commended.

EPIC is the Montecristo for those enthusiasts that want a more robust and fuller-bodied cigar...and boy does it deliver with tsunami-sized waves of flavor. Utilizing vintage Dominican and Nicaraguan filler tobaccos from as early as 2007, this tasty handmade exudes complexity. A pristine Ecuadorian Habano wrapper is delicately lain over a Nicaraguan binder and completes this masterpiece. The result, is an exquisite blend that imparts pleasant notes of spice, cocoa, nuts, earth and coffee.

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 Aaron for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :cigarguy:

Look's like a tasty cigar. Shouldn't have any problems getting volunteer's for this one. Gonna be a quick turn around though if it's due by the 10th.
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.

Im not sure what happen to my link, I was able to access on friday and print the critique form out to use while reviewing.  I'm trying to enter my review but the link to enter it will not show on anymore. Any suggestions as to why the link has disappeared in me?
