this really is fun

may need to do a repeat in the fall

Indeed I do...

#1

I guessed h.upmann/AJ collab, and I was extremely confident...

In actuality, it's a Laranja Reserve!

#2

I would've bet money this was an AB black market...

It's a Rocky Patel sungrown!

#3

I guessed ratzilla but was more unsure of this than the other 2...

It's a Ratzilla!

Thanks again Stinger!

Look forward to reading the many reviews yet to come!

I am glad you enjoyed your box. I am interested in the results and your thoughts of the Blinds. I like making bands not so much of Patriot bands but we do things for BOTL.. lol


I just started making homemade beef jerky so I am glad you like it.

The Humidor Notes is a book I found a few years back and I like them. I usually note in the book the first time smoking a cigar or special cigars. Then I am not using up all the pages on everyday smokes. FYI I don't use the glue dots provided but I use a glue stick to secure the band to the page.

Enjoy and I can't wait to read your reviews.

I don't need no stinking rules.

Glad you enjoyed the package Ron.

Review #2

My second time.

I think she was Nicaraguan. Her skin was dark and slightly oily in the twilight. She may also have been partly Dominican or even Peruvian. Exotic. Mysterious.

She wasn't nude, but her covering was completely see through, so I took it off and felt her up. Nice full body, thicker than my first, but not too thick. She was a hardbody as well, but soft in all the right places. She was shorter than my first, but that just made her average height.

I started her up, and she immediately let me know she was spicy and not weak.

From the beginning to the end, getting something out of her was easy. But not too easy.

She had a beautiful ash. It was white/gray, but somehow went well with her dark skin. I wasn't put off.

As I got deeper into her, she mellowed some. She wasn't as bold as in the beginning but had become a little creamy. I like creamy.

I thought she seemed to finish up a little quickly. I could have gone longer, but she just didn't seem into it. But, hey, an hour is about average isn't it? It was good while it lasted.

Her taste stayed in my mouth for a while.

Conclusion:

Good mid-grade cigar. I'm interested in finding out what it was. Nicaraguan and maybe Dominican/Peruvian? But it reminded me of a Perdomo.

I'm basically talking out of my @ss at this point. I'll stop.

Tossed yours in the mailbox this morning. 9405503699300341660023

Nice review leebot! Not sure i could profile Peruvian tobacco... I did smoke a Peruvian puro once and it was atrocious...

TY. I only said that because RyJ Reserve Maduro has some Peruvian in it, and the cigar kinda reminded me of one of those. But spicier.

Alright Jake, let's get #3 sparked

RIP Keith.

There is a blue foot band on this milk chocolate Toro and im unsure if it's a clue or a distraction. Double cap (I think) with some visible seems and a bit of heft in the hand. Velvety wrapper with a faint manure and almost no smell off the foot aside for a very faint tobacco. I clip the cap and the wrapper splits around 2 inches exposing the binder. Draw is perfect and after spitting some tobacco shreds out of my mouth it tastes as the foot smells: almost like nothing.

1st
Low end of adequate smoke production. Light pepper transitions into cherry and some sort of baking spice similar to cinnamon. Judging by initial looks and the two cigars I already sacrificed I was guessing this to be the low end but I'll admit the initial flavors and draw are very nice. As I progress the cherry gets a little absurd and I'm not sure if it's koolaid or fruit roll up but it's that pronounced and almost chemically. I'd really like a little more smoke but that's my only gripe really. Im picking up some cedar but it really is in the background of a very prominent berry or cherry sweetness. The finish is medium and while the flavor is full the strength is mild thus far. Either this is something I've never had or I contracted a Biden super strain of covid that enhances the taste buds to a euphoric, opel state. The ash is uniformly light grey and splitting into a perfect Y.

2nd
The wrapper is super thin and has bulged and flaked at the foot. The cherry has eased off a decent bit but fruity sweetness is still prominent. Cedar has grown and the finish has lengthened some and tastes of sweet tobacco. The smoke production isn't unacceptable but hasn't improved. The burn is good and the split wrapper isn't causing any problems on either end. The ah has been strong for 2.5 inches at a time. It's a lovely spring day here and this cigar at times tastes like one of my favorite summer desserts: angel food cake with strawberries and homemade whipped cream. Im surprised to get this mitch flavor from a cigar whose foot and cold draw were a total air bomb. However, it's almost as if my diabetic neighbor came to dinner so rather than using sugar to make the whipped cream we used stevia. The cigar is flavorful but not strong and I think it would be perfect for someone who is new to cigars.

3rd
Im trying to parse out what im tasting here aside from the sweetness and I think im picking up a little hay that has been developing and a sprinkle of cayenne. The fruit is there but im going to say that maple syrup seems to be coming to the forefront which I like better. This final third is definitely more to my liking and seems less artificial. If this is low end then it's very interesting and probably a great value for anyone who likes a sweet cigar. Im at an hour and eighteen minutes and with 2 inches left the stick is starting to smoke a little hot. The ash is over 3 inches long and taking a 45 degree turn so im going to tap it off. I touch up the burn for the final run and the smoke finally picks up to slightly above average. The baking spice is back and I'll put the cigar firmly in the medium category (at least by my standards.)

Jake, great cigar selections. I think im ready to be embarrassed with my final tally.
