This month's critique has been sponsored by our new member Jon (Noblecigars) from https://noblecigars.com. Thank you for your generosity!

The Chosen Cigar: Noblecigars Act 1

The Hype: Produced from one of the most well known factories in the world. The wrapper is aged for 3 years, and binder filler 5 years. It is a double ligero, and all are surprised as it doesn't feel like, but at the third burn will kick really hard and shift from medium-full to full.

Shipping: US addresses only

*BONUS*: Jon says that the Act 1 has a very interesting note that makes it very floral and refreshing, and whoever identifies it in their critique will get a sample pack of 4 as a gift.

Due Date: June 25, 2023

The Reviewers:
Volunteers should be Veteran status or higher. First come, first serve. This critique will be due by June 25, so please take into account your summer 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 we will make the final selection.

Hey! How come Habana is written on here with a Sharpie ?!?

A day without whiskey is like . . . just kidding, I have no idea!

Thank you Jon! Been a minute since we had one sponsored.

Bruce: You can put me on the bench for the critique. I'm sure you'll get enough volunteers but I can be a back up if you don't.

Nice to see one of these happening again.
I am not concerned about what you think as I can tell you don't do it often.

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.
