Ummm, I found it in the database and the drop down for the critique. The company is Weston Tobacco, the cigar is Connecticut Shade (the only option).

I stand corrected, I see it too! Sorry to bother you Nathan, enjoy your weekend!

Not bothering me at all. I just thought I might be going crazy.

....and I probably am, but that is beside the point.

Thanks gents! Sorry. Been quite out of the loop a bit off the grid.

Wow just need to say varied ratings on this cigar. I honestly liked mine so was it luck or did others find the stick having issues. I had mine in my Cuban humidor so did the magic get pasted to my tester?

The Weston that I smoked came to me w/ two cracks. One near the foot and one just under the cap. It reseted in my tupperdor at 70% until I smoked it. The cigar was not dry when I smoked it but it appears it had been at some point. The crack at the cap made the cigar a challenge to smoke.

different strokes I think. I really like a full bodied cigar with lots of popping out flavors. But the Weston to me was a good cigar. I would not buy a box of them but a fiver I would do just to have a nice milder smoke for certain occasions.

After thinking about how the reviewers had different experiences a fiver now would make sense if we all hit the high 80 or 90's then maybe a box.

I am surprised at the variance in scores! The only thing I had as a negative was that it wasn't complex, mine was well constructed Ann smoked well too
