III · The rest of the Helix house
The score blends 12 reviews from every source we hold, shrunk toward the mean so a cigar with three reviews cannot outrank one with three hundred. How the score is built
We do not judge plume or mould from a photo, and we do not tell you when a cigar is ready. Read r/cigars' pinned guide for that.
