Cigar Reviews: CigarScore 4

Cigars that earn a CigarScore 4 are great cigars, but, for some reason, don’t earn a CigarScore of 5. These are your daily, “go to” cigars that you could smoke for a year and never get bored. They’re smooth and flavorful, but, perhaps, not as tasty and complex as cigars that earn a 5.
