General Information

Appearance
The wrapper is Colorado claro. There are large veins around it and a few cracks around the band. It received a 2.5/5 rating.
Construction
The triple cap looks good and the foot is tight. It has a clean cut and a perfect draw, with a 3/5 rating.
Flavor
- One third: It starts with a light body and tobacco flavor. Then citrus and grapefruit notes appear, and a hint of ginger at the end.
- Two thirds: The body becomes stronger, with less citrus and blander flavors. A light tangy, almost sour taste, like sour bread, shows up.
- Three thirds: The base flavors are nice, but lack the definition of the first third.
Value
With a 2.5/5 rating, the reviewer wouldn't buy a box. It would need to be cheap to be worth it.
Overall, the Prince of Wales didn't meet the reviewer's expectations and isn't suited to their palate.
