This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by nirab (Brian) The Cigar: K.A. Kendall 7-20-4 Classic Lancero Maduro (7.5 x 38) The Specs: Country Manufactured: HONDURASWrapper: Mexico Filler: NIC/HON/MEX/COLBinder: COSTA RICAThe Hype: The original flagship 7-20-4 cigar line was Kurt's first entry into the premium cigar marketplace, and remains a classic today. The blend was created following the acquisition of the defunct 7-20-4 trademark, and was designed as an homage to the iconic New Hampshire cigar factory of days gone by. Paying tribute to the past while showing off cutting-edge use of a variety of unique tobaccos, the 7-20-4 blend starts off with wish a lush Brazilian Mata Fina Maduro wrapper. This exquisite leaf encases a Costa Rican binder and a complex long-filler blend comprised of tobaccos from four different countries - Nicaragua, Honduras, Colombia, and Mexico.
These premium boutique cigars are hand crafted in small batches in Honduras. Once they've properly aged and made their way into your humidor, you'll find a delicious flavor profile upon lighting up. Staying firmly in the medium-full bodied range, 7-20-4 cigars deliver rich and complex flavors designed to delight the senses of true cigar lovers.

Thanks again to Brian for taking this one on and providing the cigar. THANKS!! And happy smokin'
Thanks Pete!
Looking forward to seeing what y'all think of this cigar. :biggrin: :bigthumbs:
It sounds interesting, and my last critique was in June. If you'll have me, I'd be happy to be in.

Count yourself in! :-) :bigthumbs:
Brian, If you need to, use me as an alternate only. I did the July review as well as the Camacho Liberty review. I am sure there are a few out there that are due a Geek Critique!
I can't believe this isn't filling up.
I just did the Aug GC but would gladly fill in here if nobody steps up.
I'll help out, its been a while since I've tried a 7-20-4, probably 3+ years. Edit: oh, I did a critique in July. Add me to the backup list.
I have not done a critique in July, August or September so I'll throw my name in there.
I greatly enjoy the 7-20-4 spider, but can't for the life of me find more than a few reviews for the stick posted.
If it's not a pepper bomb, add me to the list.
