This thread will review:
Name: Villiger Kiel (Export)
Size: 4 x 37
Wrapper: Sumatra Natural
Binder: NLT (Natural Leaf Tobacco)
Filler: NLT
MSRP: 50 cigars in a BOX for $46.50
Price Payed: $31
Stated Strength: Mild
Comments: With smoking restrictions the way they are and when the weather gets cold it is good to sometimes have a short smoke. These machine made cigars are made in Switzerland and are box pressed. They also come in Maduro but we will only be reviewing the Natural. These cigars were purchased 3 months ago and have NOT been in a humidor.
For original thread discussion see Start Up Thread
To keep it standard, we would rate the cigars in three categories.
A) Appearance--How the cigar looks, how the pre-light smell is, the wrapper, etc.
B) Taste---How is the taste? Spicy, strong, bland, airball, etc. How did the taste progress, etc.
C) Construction---How did the cigar perform in terms of draw, burn, ash, etc.
To rate the cigars we would use a number from 5 to 10, 5 being one you would not even give Fidel to smoke and ten being a damm good cigar. The final rating number would be determined by the following:
A + B + (1.5)C divided by 3.5. This is similar to how Cigar Magazine does it but it is a little different. I realize that this is not perfect and there may be better ways but this would work also. Thanks for the reviews!!
