82774 - Partagas Black

82776 - CAO Steelhorse Handbrake

82777 - Don Pepin Vegas Cubanas

82779 - LFD ligero maduro
To the victor go the spoils

82781 I believe. Aging room Quattro Nicaragua toro (vibrato) which is a dumb name for a cigar

Thank you jeebs! I dig it

82783 Fugazi COTY compare to Cuban Montecristo.

Immediately apparent this is a Raymond Pages blend. It's got that Hoppes9 solvent note right out the gate. I can't power through that. Tossed at a half inch.

I wonder if a year or two of age would knock it down. Maybe it's the flavor of a rushed product. I bought two of these samplers, so the 2nd ones gonna stay boxed for a long long time.

82785 - 5 Vegas Petites
82786 - Nicaraguan Cream robusto

82788 Illusione HL maduro


I don't always have time for a lancero but when I do, this one is top of the list...

82790 room 101 Miami snow toro

82792 - Vegueros short romusto that they call an entretiempos

Nah, must be okay, Lee didn’t whine about it.

82794 - Macanudo Inspirado Orange robusto----------93 rated-must have been a bribe
82795 - Nicaraguan Cream robusto

I don't whine. I offer sobering and insightful critical analysis.


Maybe I pout a little.


I think I have complained about that name before though.

And, Jake, you are right about the Aging Room vibrator or whatever it is they call a toro. AR is bad with the dumb names.

82797: Monte Perlado

82798: Diesel Unholy Cocktail wow, this one has been in my storage only a couple months since I smoked the first one. What a difference a couple months of rest has made. This cigar jumped off of my “never again” list and is a solid dog walker / yard ‘gar. The savory and light sweetness was very well balanced for my taste and the light black pepper retro was just barely there. More pepper would have been okay but just a hint mixed very well with the savory and sweet flavors. I think I’m starting to get my storage setup and RH where I like it. Many thanks to you brothers for patiently answering all of those questions I was asking.

82801 - Oliva MB3

82803 Fugazi COTY compare to Tatuaje.

Don't say which tat to compare it to but regardless it tastes like nothing Pete Johnson has ever made.

Decent spice blend, hard to really pin anything in any of these, pepper and assorted spices. Burn is difficult. May be my fault smoking outta bulk storage and not putting it in the desktop for a month. But other cigars in that tote smoke just fine.

Anyways, it's not bad. It's certainly no Tatuaje, and won't be a repeat buy.

82905 Fugazi COTY compare to Montecristo. Another compare to a whole brand...

Well, it tastes like Hoppes9 solvent. Maybe a note of the smell of the lubricant on those gummy fishing lure worms or silly putty. Really nothing else going on. There's a spicy sensation in my mouth like a hot sauce burn, but no flavor to go with it. I don't like NC Montecristos but I'd happily take one of those over this hot garbage.

82906 Fugazi COTY compare to EPC Encore.

Tastes like a combination of the two prior. I think this is rushed production/incomplete fermentation of the leaves. There's a grassy/green component to them too. No richness or depth of flavor, no texture.

This too was a 1" smoke before tossing in the fire. 3 cigars lit, 3" smoked.

I'm recommending an immediate cease and desist on the Fugazi. They make a better punk band than a cigar apparently

82809: Oliva V Lancero. Great smoke that has got me hooked on long-skinny cigars. Will definitely be posting more in the future.

​​​​​​​82810: Too bad that can't be said of the second cigar tonight. Obsidian White Torpedo. To start with it's mora it's a pyramid or very close. With a deep V cut your about suck your ear together trying to get a toke. The cigar has a perfect feel until you get to the last inch of the head and then it is rock hard. Definitely over-packed in the bunching. It's a good flavor after really over-cutting. It's a shame as I'll never know. This problem has been present in the 3 I've smoked out of a five pack. Too bad.
