I’d like to thank Kent & Geeks for letting me submit this critique. Not normally a brand I’d smoked much from, so not very familiar with their lines, but this stick performed well. I had it pe... Read More

Since I always have a spot in my rotation for a chocolate tasting cigar, this stick was squarely in my wheelhouse so the lack of complexity was not an issue. The contrast between the chocolate and pep... Read More

Thanks to Kent for sponsoring this critique. While I didn't enjoy the first half of the cigar, it wasn't all bad. I do like an earthy cigar and the touch of pepper helped to keep it interestin... Read More
Stolen Throne Crook of the Crown Toro April 2023 91
CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (Brlesq)
As I said above, a cigar doesn't have to be complex to be enjoyable. This one appealed to me on many levels. My only criticism (and a small one at that) would be that I wish the ash held on longe... Read More

Overall an excellent cigar and a very enjoyable smoke. I am a big fan of the San Andres wrapper this being 10 years old really adds great flavors. Great match for a nice dark roast coffee. Nice bala... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (amigodecigars)
It was well-constructed with well aged tobaccos, had a perfect draw, and just enough complexity in flavor to keep it interesting. I really enjoy well aged tobacco and these were aged for 6 years acco... Read More

CG Rating

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: Byron (Beegerply)
I found this cigar to be a bit to mild for me. As nice as it looked I was hoping for more. I'm not sure if the mildness caused me not to pick up more notes in this cigar. I think this cigar would ... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (junglepete)
The lineage and breeding of this venture had me quite interested, but is was a tough cigar to evaluate. The construction issues surely diminished the overall experience. I liked most of the tastes, bu... Read More

Written by Cigar Geeks Member: (McBryde)
I liked the cigar. It hit my palate quite nicely, and I am not usually a huge fan of most CAO stuff. It seemed like a young cigar, and I think it would be a great candidate cigar for some aging. I loo... Read More
