This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by sjn1117 (Stephen)

The Cigar: Kristoff Maduro Lancero (7.5 x 40)

The Hype: The Kristoff Maduro is the extension of Kristoff's first and popular cigar, the Kristoff Criollo. Unlike the Criollo, however, the Maduro features a, you guessed it, a maduro wrapper (more specifically, a Brazilian maduro wrapper). And like the original Kristoff Criollo, the Kristoff Maduro offers notes of toasted almond, hints of spice and a sweet finish. The addition of a rich, oily Brazilian Maduro wrapper over Cuban seed Dominican and Nicaraguan tobaccos adds wonderful undertones of earth and licorice, producing an immensely enjoyable and balanced smoking experience.

The Reviewers: Any member who has not done a GC in the last two months, or are scheduled to do one in the near future.

1. Brlesq (Bruce)
2. Kman (Kerry)
3. Sparklepony (John)
4. McBryde (Emerson)
5. Ken Kelley (Ken)

Due Date: October 10, 2015

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 Stephen for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'  :smoker2:

Okay Emerson, you're in on this one.

As for the two Canadian volunteers, sorry guys, this one is on a bit of a time constraint and the sponsor wants to be sure there are no issues that might jeopardize the due date. My apologies.

Well, heck. I've never seen a Kristoff I didn't like so pencil me in for slot No. 5 if it hasn't been taken already.

Stephen handed me mine over the weekend.  Thanks, brother. I'll do my best to find a night to smoke it this week, but a 5 day deadline is a bit unrealistic.
