This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by DRuff (Doug).

The Cigar: Raymond Pages Antihero Lancero

The Specs:
Wrapper: Nicaragua
Binder:  Nicaragua 
Filler:  Nicaragua

Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Full
Size: 7" x 42

Shipping: US addresses only

Due Date: September 25, 2025

The Hype:
In the cigar world, Raymond Pages may be the hero you want and the hero you deserve. Antihero is a unique offering from Raymond. More medium or medium-plus than full in body, it's rich and robust but incredibly balanced and smooth, never overwhelming.

The Reviewers:
DRuff has already drafted 4 reviewers, but we need a fifth. Volunteers should have some positive feedback (and no negative feedback) and not doing the September review. This review will be due by September 25, so please, take into account your vacation 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 DRuff will make the final selection.

1. Arrow34
2. Otis
3. McBryde
4. Burn Ward
5. Ntanner

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 initiative in place.

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

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.

DRuff

Saw that, you sent it with plenty of time so I hadn't started to worry yet. Looks like it spent a few extra days in Columbus. Hope that doesn't effect the flavor.
