The tasting section includes only handmade cigars, and includes cigar details. packaging, taste before lighting, aroma before lighting, taste when lit, aroma when lit, characteristics, and recommendations. The tasting notes, in particular the taste and aroma descriptions are considered excellent, succinct, and to the point, without any flowery elaboration.
