		BALMORAL Churchill
		Country: Dominican Republic	Wrapper: Ecuador	Binder: DR/Brazil

	Panelist #2	This is a good-tasting, well-made, and very mild cigar that is not the stuff of memories, but still a solid performer. SCORE: 3.1
	Panelist #3	This cigar tastes very mild and has a thin smoke. It's not bad, but it may need more zip to really stand out in the market. SCORE: 2.5

	Panelist #1	This cigar receives almost perfect scores and was my favorite of the review. I will pay whatever it takes to get more. SCORE: 4.8
	Panelist #2	This is a good cigar that smokes like a dream. The flavors are strong and develop nicely, but it lacks some finesse. SCORE: 3.3

		Country: U.S.A.	Wrapper: Dominican Republic	Binder: Dominican Republic
		Manufacturer: La Havanita	Filler: Dominican Republic	Price: E
	Panelist #1	Based on the solid taste, I can easily recommend this cigar. Based on the tight draw and self-destructing wrappers, I cannot. SCORE: 3.2
	Panelist #2	I would have purchased this cigar based on its appearance and been disappointed. The flavor is too grassy. SCORE: 2.4

		Country: Canary Islands	Wrapper: Connecticut	Binder: Indonesia
		Manufacturer: P.A.C.O./Comet	Filler: Canary/DR/Brazil	Price: C
	Panelist #1	This cigar is packed with tobacco, so it's a good thing the blend tastes good. Although it is young, it has definite promise. SCORE: 3.7
	Panelist #2	Unfortunately, I found this cigar just too difficult to like. The flavor never develops and it has a harsh quality. SCORE: 2.5
	Panelist #3	In a smaller size, this cigar would make a good enough morning cigar. As a double corona, it doesn't keep my interest. SCORE: 2.6
	Panelist #4	I probably wouldn't smoke this cigar, but someone who likes a large cigar without heavy flavor might like these. SCORE: 2.9

		DUNHILL Peravias
		Country: Dominican Republic	Wrapper: Connecticut	Binder: Dominican Republic

	Panelist #3	A mild and friendly flavor is the highlight here, but it would have scored much higher if the draw had been more generous. SCORE: 3.3
	Panelist #4	This cigar is light in flavor, but heavy in character. It is very consistent in every category and earns high marks. SCORE: 4.0

	Panelist #2	Set aside at least 90 minutes for this impressive looking cigar, but don't expect the taste to be as good as its looks. SCORE: 3.4
	Panelist #3	The wrapper on this cigar has an unusual beauty. The flavor is gutsy and eventful, providing plenty of smoking pleasure. SCORE: 4.5

	Panelist #4	This is a good, basic Dominican cigar, best-suited for early in the day, as a heavy meal or drink will overpower it. SCORE: 3.0
