Don't want to give away my review of the Isabela, which is part of the Geeks Critique, but I will say that I didn't have an issue with the way my cigar (the Robusto, 5 x 52) was packed.  It was very firm and held solid all the way through.  I was also able to bite down on the cigar without it caving in.  The burn was slow, and I got a lot of smoke time out of the one I had.  I'm surprised that these two vitolas were so different in those respects.

I agree with you about the pre-light.  I signed up for the free sampler and will be resting those sticks for a long time, as I agree that they could stand some aging.

EXCEPT that Paul didn't bother to save what he removed for later when everyone will have had a chance to review, so I have no fresh memories of the cigar to base my review on. I've had short-term memory problems for years. Even discounting my poor memory, it was very inconsiderate. I never doubted for a moment that Paul saved a copy, because that made perfect sense and Paul is sensible, right?

Now I've been told that I can bow out of the review. A double-whammy.

Fortunately I wrote a standard review of the cigar in question which is stored in the database and will give me enough material, and hopefully jar my memory.

Yes Larry you have made it very clear now that you are not happy with me.  Duly noted.  As I stated in reply to your PMs, I never in any way asked you to bow out of the reviews - not sure where you got that from.  What I stated was that if you can't remember enough about the experience to enter the citrique, then don't sweat it - not a big deal.  If you have more to state then take it to PMs.

And now I exercise the benefit of owning the site by shutting this thread down.  It doesn't seem to be much benefit to anyone to continue with it.
