Initial Thoughts:
This cigar tasted good from the first puff. The draw got tighter as I got to the middle of the cigar, but was never too difficult to get good smoke.
However, as the smoke continued, the flavors became more subtle and they almost disappeared. This flavor drop-off is the primary reason CigarScore for the Nat Sherman Metropolitan fell from a 3 to a 2.
CigarScore:
Brand: Nat Sherman
Line: Metropolitan
Size: 6 x 52
Cut: Punch
Light: Torch
Price: $7
Final Thoughts:
This cigar started off well but didn't keep up the positive vibes. To be honest, it could be because I ate some jalapeno potato chips halfway through the cigar, but even 45-minutes after the cigar flavor hadn't returned.
I wouldn't recommend this cigar, but I wouldn't avoid it either. The Nat Sherman Metropolitan is a decent budget cigar that won't overwhelm the palate, but it still earns a CigarScore 2.
