I visisted Kremer's one day on lunch and David Blanco was there with their new cigars. I picked up the Criollo, Maduro, and Sumatra. Last night I fired up the Criollo while raking some leaves; yes in the dark.
I started this cigar off with 4 people asking me how/why I was going to rake leaves in the dark and the enjoyment of using my special technique of slipping the lock on the backdoor of my neighbors house who had locked herself out of the house.
The cigar tasted like...with hints of..... well I really can't discern the nuances of many cigars, so I just have to rely on if I like it or not. I know what chocolate taste like, I know what grass (either one) tastes like, and I know what a turd tastes like since smoking that Kahlua.
The Criollo is their stronger cigar, though as David stated, I did not find it over powering. To me it was a good smoke and with a good price. I think I paid $5.25 for this one. The others between $4.25-$4.75.

The way I rate is;
Cost: 1) Is the cigar affordable for the average person 2) Was the cigar worth the price
Taste: self explanatory
Experience: was I bored, had to sit down in awe, burned the hell out of my fingers, etc..
Burn: How'd the darn thing burn
