drink Whiskey?

Wine?

like your beer?

same shit.

Being a connoisseur, you admire the little things. How the tobacco is cultivated, area it was grown, etc...will affect taste. Opus X Rising X is a 91 out of 100. Most "great" cubans are over 90.

APPEARANCE AND CONSTRUCTION
Visually, a premium cigar should have a smooth, flawless wrapper and be consistent in color and shape. When held, it should feel firm and give off a slightly oily moistness. Points are deducted if the wrapper has areas of large veins or if the cigar feels dry or firmer in some parts than others.


FLAVOR
Although each premium cigar has a distinctive taste, all premium cigars should taste smooth and rich. If a cigar leaves a bitter or harsh taste on your lips, tongue or mouth, points are deducted.


SMOKING CHARACTERISTICS
A perfectly made and stored premium cigar should light and burn easily and evenly. The draw should be comfortable and the same throughout the cigar. The smoke should be cool in your mouth. Points are deducted if the cigar burns too quickly, if it burns faster on one side, and if you have to pull hard to get a mouthful of smoke or if that smoke is unpleasantly hot.



But if you don't like it...or just have once in a bluemoon...it's just a cigar.
