With all due respect kombat, Phil is the guy you sent to. I'm the one who sent to you. All the U of M chit will rot your brain.

I'm not a Michigan graduate, I went to state LOL.

My apologies beach.

It's cool. Just fighting for proper credit. And I was going off your logo. I'm not a Buckeye grad but claim them through 18yrs of proximity. That and the Valparaiso Crusaders aren't much to follow sportswise except for that one magnificent tournament about 20yrs back

David (Just Relax) i got your box. I will post details later.

I have the mystery cigar also. I have a good idea of two of them. #2 is the mystery for me.

Thanks David... cant wait the smoke

That St Elmo's sauce is so good. Very potent horseradish.

Glad I hit some NHs. Can't wait so see if your first impressions are accurate. Enjoy!

Shaun turned me on to the Shadow King last year as one of the mystery cigars so I had to return the favor this year.

That's nice.

Smoked my first mystery last night. Came down to French Lick for Spring Break and headed to the bar in the casino after the kids went to bed.

Chose to pick cigar #2. Paired with regular coke from lessons learned last year.

Approx 6x54, guessing Maduro

Appearance is veiny and tobacco is rough to the touch. There is a glue repair that looked professionally fixed. Nice work Matt.

Smell was a bit leather/cocoa.

Draw was about perfect, just a little on the tight side but didn't have to work for it. Prelight draw was simple and light. No real flavors just a quality tobacco taste.

1/3: First couple puffs after were light and bitter. From the descriptions Matt gave I was surprised at how mild this cigar seemed. Bitterness went away and it was a very smooth, simple smoke - no noticeable spice or other common profiles given to cigars. I gave in to the fact that all I was getting was a clean, earthy taste and decided that's what this cigar is and just enjoyed it.

Ash was very light the burn was wavy but required no touchups. There was ample smoke produced as well.

2/3: This is remaining one-dimensional, but in a good way. It's not complex but just a very enjoyable smoke that is going well with the environment I'm in. Hit the halfway point and had the only touchup being the spot where the repair was made. The fullness also kicked in at the halfway point. The flavor didn't change but the nicotine kicked in and I'm feeling the effects from it. I rode the buzz through the rest of the cigar.

3/3: The profile is remaining extremely consistent. Just the smallest hint of spice to put a bit of ting on my lips. Decided to have a Johnnie Black on the rocks to finish off the night with what was left. Put it out just before it got to my fingertips and was pleasantly surprised the bitterness didn't return as this neared the end.

I picked this cigar because I thought it might be the yard gar based on appearance in comparison to the others. I would say the overall experience would qualify this one as such. That said this was a fantastic cigar that I'd like to have a box to go to in my humidor. It was a very enjoyable smoke.

Reserving the right to change my mind after the other two.

danm, the box just arrived, and my wife carried it into the house. She opened the door and said "This is for you, and it's really heavy, what the hell did you order now!?
I opened up the box, and B00M! great hit...first off was a note better describing the contents...

1) a 2017 limited release One Trick Pony-Cocoa Butter Kisses Imp. Stout from a brewery local to him. Once a year release, no advance notice. (danm got in line and waited over an hour, in 40 degree rain to get his 4 bottle limit....and then he goes and sends one my way...thanks danm... 🍺

2) Maple Syrup from a farm local to him, and the note says "we" volunteered to help with the sap collection, and this is from that batch.
I'm not sure who "we" is danm, but thank them for their efforts....the syrup looks great and I will be enjoying it soon,,,the important question now is Pancakes or Waffles???

3)Also included in the box as protection for the great cigars inside, was a repurposed Padilla 1932 signature cigar box. A very nice solid protector of the cigars he included inside.

a DE Liga Privada T52 from 2014

a Cain F tubo from 2013

a CH Jericho Hill from 2016

and 3 tasty looking specimens numbered 1,2,and 3

looking forward to smoking them and reviewing them, and finding out how wrong I can be on a regular basis

Thanks danm🍺

Glad it arrived safely. Enjoy

smoked 2 of 3 the mystery cigars. I will take care of the last today during the race.

Dan, I’m glad you got this going👍 Look forward to the reviews🇨🇮
