Title: May 2022 Member Sponsored Geek Critique
Post by: Brlesq on 03/15/2022 01:30 PM
This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by 05Venturer (Kent).

The Cigar: Fuerte Y Libre Sun Country Toro

The Specs:
Wrapper: Connecticut Shade Ecuador
Binder: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic + Mexico
Country of Origin: Dominican Republic
Strength: Medium-Full
Size: 6" x 54

Shipping: US addresses only

Due Date: April 25, 2022

The Hype:
Hand made in the Dominican Republic at Tabacalera El Hoyito, these cigars incorporate well-aged Dominican Piloto Cubano in the Ligero (double), Filler and Binder with aged Mexican San AndrĂ©s wrapper leaf blended into the filler for a little something special. This full body core is then wrapped in a creamy Ecuadorean Shade wrapper to create a balance of flavors that has to be experienced as no words can truly capture what we have done here.  Named after a bad ass bull, the Sun Country will definitely brighten your day.

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the April review. This critique will be due by April 25, so please take into account your 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 Kent will make the final selection.

1.  Otter
2.  HolySmokes
3.  Brlesq
4.  Cfickter
5.  nirab

Note[/i]: 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 05Venturer for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.
