What It Tastes Like
Cigar Insider scored the Guerrero 87 points on June 8, 2021 and called it medium-full. The taster picked up a briny, cedar-led smoke with a pronounced mineral streak and a hint of sour apple, closing on toasted peanuts. The same review flagged a coarse, veiny wrapper, an untidy cap and a tight draw.
