Anyone else get a look at the new cigar insider that came out today. Peterson cigars (the new one from ashton) was a hit. Of the 5 sizes, 3 recieved a 91 and the other 2 a 90 I have only smoked the churchill and must say they have a nice aroma. I am typically not one for a cameroon wrapper but man it was good. Anyone tried any of the other sizes?
 
I smoked the Robusto In the Car one Day in December, so I couldn't pay too much attention to detail but it had great construction and a smooth and toothy wrapper. An even burn with thick creamy smoke.

That's just what I remember, so take it for what it's worth.
 
Okay I just smoked the robusto and it was excellent. Not sure about a 90 but it was damn good. I have to give credit to the only brand in aficionado/ insider history to give 90+ ratings to an entire line at a verticle tasting.

Had one on Wednesday night after an awesome spanish tapas style dinner.

The box had sat open in my footlocker humidor for, man, must be 2 months now.

Awesome flavour, nice finish, burnt nice and even but the ash didn't hold that long - still drew well though. Say a stong 89, maybe a 90. I would have liked a bit more depth to the flavour but it wasn't overpowering. Finsh lingered for ages.
 
I have had a couple of the Toros which I love. The Belicoso are a good cigar, just don't smoke one on an empty stomache.
