Well I sat down Saturday night to smoke my first of the three bilind tastes, I picked the green label first, for no reason, it just happened to be the first I grabbed.
I began by examinig the cigar. It was a perfectly boxed pressed cigar, it was arround 6 inches long. I find it hard to guessthe ring gauge on boxed pressed cigars but
I would say arround a 48-50 gauge. The wrpper was a dark brown, chocolate stick, beautiful I would guess it for a maduro.
As I lit it it gave a nice woody smell. I punched the end and began to burn it.
It started out not very smooth but not harsh , there was a ton of smoke, about 1/4" into it it began to burn irregular, so I took the torch and corrected it. It was a woody start
with dark gew ash. At about the 1" mark I noticed a bit of spicy comming in, not enough though. The smoke had a very easy draw and was basically smoking itself.
Ash held for about 1 3/4" before I dropped it on my lap. At about 2" the flavor of the cigar began it's journey, it began to pick up. The spicyness and smoothness rose
it was sort of nutty, like when you eat fresh walnuts and it leves that sorta taste in your mouth, gritty like, very tastee.
The ash seemed to hold alot better, the last 2" of the gar were great, a lot more spicy but not tooo much, just enough, tons of flavor altough it started tunneling again,
It seemed to almost numb my pallete with the flavor, it was great.
I had a very good time with this smoke, at first inspection I tought well, I know what this is, the construction and shape told me, it has to be a PAM
but the way it was burning kinda made me wonder as I never had a PAM burn bad, the flavor characteristics of a maddie were there, although the size wasn't
exactly like the PAM's I've had. WOW this is tougher than I thought, I would still guess it for a PAM, and if it isn't well it's just as good IMHO.

can't wait for the next.........
Oh by the way check out the pic section.......

Well, my friend. Then you are about to be pleasantly suprised because it wasn't the $10-15 PAM, but one of my all time favorites (and I agree, almost as good as a PAM) - Carlos Torano Exodus 1959 !!!

GREAT REVIEW - I think you nailed it!!!!'

(and great pics!!! man!!!)

Oh, wait. Did you smoke all three? If not, I might have just blown it. Sorry.... Hopefully I didn't screw it up too badly....

(at least I didn't try to humiliate you, unlike someone I know!!!)

I am sorry ethan no harm intended I apologize if I did, I was just having a bit of Monday morning sickness it's real early over here in Cali. I only smoked one, the green label one, I enjoyed it very much so. I would have never guessed it to be a torano since I've never had one, it tasted very good my brotha
thank you for the oportunity . The next one will come soon......

If you weren't as dissapointed I would ask you....

Let's do this again .......
hey I promise to include a bad frog........... or two.....
