This Geek Critique has been generously sponsored by nickthafish (Nick).

The Cigar: Southern Draw Rose of Sharon Lancero
(as Nick told me, he wanted to do a rose for Valentine's Day!)

The Specs:
Wrapper: Connecticut Ecuador
Binder: Nicaragua
Filler: Dominican Republic, Nicaragua
Country of Origin: Nicaragua
Strength: Mild to Mild-Medium
Size: 6.5"x 40

Shipping: US and Canada addresses only

Due Date: January 25, 2021

The Hype:
Hand crafted in Esteli, Nicaragua – The Rose of Sharon embraces a unique blend. The natural cloud cover of Ecuador has supplied us with a prized wrapper, a velvety feel, gentle sweetness and a toasty burn, our beloved Nicaragua has gifted us with rich and elegant binder and filler tobaccos while the distinct Piloto Cubano of the Dominican Republic adds a dose of boldness and spice that allows this blend live up to its moniker: "She don't know she's beautiful!"

The Reviewers:
Initially, volunteers should be Veteran status or higher and not doing the January review. This review will be due by January 25, so please, only volunteer if you are prepared to turn it in on time. If you are interested, please indicate so in the forum below and Nick will make the final selection.

Note: A reviewer who posts their review late will receive neutral feedback. A reviewer who does not post at all will receive negative feedback. There are always exceptions to the rule and a reasonable excuse for tardiness or a no show will be respected and thus not counted against the reviewer. Our sponsoring members and our administrators make the choice of who is to participate in any particular Geek Critique and can be better informed of their choices with this initiative in place.

Thanks again to Nick for providing the cigar. And thank you to the reviewers.

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

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

I'll throw my name in. Always willing to smoke a cigar.
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.
