Best and quickest pass I've ever been involved with.

No drama, no delays, just everyone enjoying the event and moving it along.

We'll done to all and thanks to the '**** for running the show.

Since the pass is winding down - i.e., done - I realized one thing is still left to do: the review! CS gave me stick #1, which I fired up last night. On the cold draw, I get some barnyard/hay, and a scent reminiscent of the old CT sun grown dark cigars my grandfather used to smoke - and got me started, by the way, the Stremmies & Toppers; but the wrapper is medium brown, and not black. The roll is pretty firm, though not without some give. On lighting, I get a little pepper and something I can only describe as - wait for it - tobacco! It's a pleasant taste, not at all overpowering. The smoke is a bit harsh, but taking it slow & easy seems to be he solution. Not much change as I get to the middle third, though I'm getting a sweetness to the smoke I hadn't noticed before. The hay aroma returns, though thankfully not the barnyard! Moving into the final third I get a little charcoal - tar buildup, maybe? Tobacco flavor gets stronger as well, and sweetness is gone. I do believe this is as far as I want to smoke it, as I suspect it's on its way downhill from here. Would I smoke one again? Probably, if I'm in the mood for something mild - medium. Would I buy one? Depends on the price - I'd say maybe $5 tops, but then again, I'm frugal!

Thanks again for the pass, CS!

Lighting up my mystery stick from this tonight. It was labeled 13. A lucky number. . .

Medium brown, triple capped belicoso. About a 50 ring guage. some slight veins in the wrapper. Prelight very mild, sweet tobacco draw. Initial light has a little pepper, and a lot of leather. As I get into it, it has a sweet tobacco taste, with a few floral notes. It is producing a ton of mild white smoke.

1st third, still sme leather, with hints of cedar. Ash is very white, held till about 1.5". Nice even burn. Not an over powering smoke. A nice cigar for after dinner or early in the morning with coffee. Funny as I typed that, I got just a bit of coffee in the puff. . .

About half way through. Ash consistently falls at about an 1". Still very mild, light hints of leather. Very easy draw, lots of smoke, very relaxing.

Final 1/3 very much the same of the other 2. OVerall it was an enjoyable cigar, but not overly complex or eventful. I'd probably smoke it again, but wouldn't hunt em down. . .

So what was it?

HOW THE FUQ does 8 put/take smokes become 20 awesome smokes

HOW THE FUQ does 15 average (at best) smokes become 26 incredible smokes & one bag of pretty tasty chips!!!

Guys y'all are awesome, You made my 1st box pass pretty great but it's not done yet 2 guys will get it paid forward to them also.

Chris, YOU should post a list of the smokes YOU want to keep first. As great of a gesture that you're doing, it wouldn't be right if you didn't get some really good smokes too.

The Tat monster is a Wolfman, guessing the unbanded long pigtail is a Viaje TNT.
