Final guesses?
#1 very intriguing cigar, guess? I just can’t as to brand but I’d say it’s a VERY strong mid/to upper tier range. Maybe a newer brand that I haven’t tried but should. This was the most engaging experience of the 4.
#2 mid at best make unknown as it’s not a profile I look for.
#3 a house brand bulk cigar? Make? An evil company that hates me.
#4 I’m guessing is the premium. Make? I’ve never had the marshmallow and floral in the same cigar…started like an H Upmann then 2/3 to 3/3 was much more like a RyJ but I’ve NEVER gotten toasted marshmallow out of a RyJ. So I will guess a brand I never smoked much of HdM Epicure #1. I feel much more confident venturing a guess on a profile I’m more familiar with.
Thank you Dan for the blind ride sir!
Very interesting.
The great weird Al Yankovic sang everything you know is wrong.
You got two yard gars. They were your favorites.
I've told many people how good they are and few will listen. On Reddit the suggestion got laughed at and downvoted when I posted on a few occasions.
1.) BDL Maduro. Yard gar due to price, but I don't use em as yard gars. Bundle smoke usually around $3.50 per. I fear these will be like the OR Genesis where it was good but subsequent batches were less than good. I've only purchased one bundle, scared to buy another but spose I'll have to in order to know if they're consistent.
2.) United Cigars Abuelo. All Eiroa tobacco, I believe rolled by them as well. I absolutely loved the one I had from a trade and went and paid full price for a fiver. Midrange around $11per IIRC. I thought you'd enjoy this based off your suggestions in the Aladino thread I posted back in January.
3.) La Aurora 120th anniversary was the premium. I have not tried one yet, I knew it was a brand you like or at least said you liked in the past. I hope when I get around to trying them that my experience is better. Blind bought a box for $11per with a coupon but MSRP is $17.50 and usual price is around $14-15
4.) Fugazi COTY - Compare to Fuente Opus Fuente Fuente another $3 yard gar that I really enjoy.
I figured the real Opus was a double premium to make up for the double yard gars.
Well, that's a wrap on the 2024 Spring blind reviews with a twist. Thank you everyone for playing along. I think everyone had fun, and we learned some things along the way. See you next year!
