***warning- this is also a Look at Me thread*****


So, I'm bored, and think this place could use some livening up. I am going to do my part.

The contest: Name the cigar I am smoking tonight

The rules: This is CBID, we don't follow any stinkin' rulez

The prize: 5 cigars grabbed randomly from my coooler and a bottle of hot sauce(I have tons of hot sauce, so why not. . . )

So here is how its going to work. I am going to review the cigar as I go a long. I may or may not answer questions, depending on how much I have to drink and how easy I feel like making it. You, the cbid mooches are going to make wild stabs until somebody gets it right. When that happens, I will close the contest and the lucky guesser will win a 5'er.


Sound Good?Herfing



If you don't like it, then shut up and go awayram27bat

I am about an inch in now, so Ill start the review:

The cigar is 6 1/2 x 54 and a medium brown wrapper, with a couple of veins showing. Pre-light draw has smoe nice cocoa and a slight barnyard aroma. Light is easy, with a decent draw, but not over easy. Definitely getting some cocoa after the light, with a little cedar and some leather. Ash is very white, and at 1" in the burn is flawless.

You're funny. You obviously skipped the part about flawless burn. I plan on smoking the whole cigar, so that is definitely wrong.


I'm about 1 1/2 " in now. Cocoa has gone away. Lots of cedar with some oak. Very mellow and mild smoke so far. Some creaminess as welll. Ash is still holding strong, though I may ash is soon to keep from wearing it. . .

Thought I had it with Perdomo. 54 RG always makes me think of a Perdomo for some reason.

2" in, and I've tapped off the ash. THis is really a smooth smoke. Just a hint of pepper, but really blends in with the cedar.


Shaun, you need to remember, I am somewhat of a cigar snob anymore. . .

This is my contest. I'll give the hints I wanna give.



BTW about 2.5 " in. So this is going at a nice pace. Not too fast, not too slow. Starting to get some leather, but still very woodsy.

nope

and nope

lots of woodsy flavor through out. Just past the half way point and slightly more pepper. A nice nose to the cigar as well, though I can't quite place it, but its nice. Burn is still razor sharp.


And no its not Copenhagan Mint either.

Well, it is humidified by kitty liter. But I hardly see how thats relevant.



BTW, nicotine picking up some. Good thing this wasn't on an empty stomach.


Ash is still very white, and is holding like a champ.

Can honestly say, I've never been disappointed by a cigar from this manufacturer.

Do people actually still try to smoke those?




Sorry, that was rude.



Cigar is currently retailing for ~$8 at the couple of sites I checked.

Dude, I know you are into that, so I give you some credibility here. But a cedar flavor with hints of pepper? My wife never told me she tasted that. . .
