Cigar rating system

Cigar Aficionado has developed a cigar 100 point rating system based on four aspects of cigars. * The first area concentrates on appearance and construction or how the cigar feels and looks. * The second is the flavor, taking into account the smoothness and distinct taste. * The third area of the system is the smoking characteristics - judging how the cigar lights, burns and draws. * Finally, the area that is the most important and counts most towards the rating, is the overall impression of the cigar.
