I felt ok there for a minute not be the dead last sender, until I was.

Cheno, box heading your way. ETA Mon, which is a long time to go about 40mi. Should've looked into the Pony Express

9505 5122 7711 4109 0060 28

Or something to that effect. Those numbers are really small

9114 is a “label 400” tracker. Asked my mother she worked at the post office over 30 years. March has been a year since she retired. Those people still call her daily asking her stuff. She explained more and how and when they use this. It’s all over my head but she got excited when I ask postal stuff

Glad the box done got there jeebs. I'm always nervous without tracking numbers.

Letting my smokes from Huzza sit a little. Will probably start smoking early next week.

Blind from jeebs. #3

Light brown romusto.
Pre light has a sweet grass smell.
Very easy draw and burn stayed perfect. Got about a 2'' ash before it fell off.
I got a vanilla and maybe a touch of caramel/cocoa with that Connecticut grassy taste. Absolutely no pepper or spice.
Left a little bit of a coating in the mouth like after eating pecans without the bitter.
About a 45 minute burn.

I'll guess this is the cheap gar. But I really liked it.

Package came in from Tiver! Here are the damages:

-AF 858 Natural Anniversary (love these)
-La Aurora 107 (also love these)
-Graycliff 10yr Vintage Maduro (nh)
- Southern Draw Manzanita (nh)
- Drew Estate Herrera Esteli (nh)
- Three unlabeled beauties all either Connies, Habanos, or Cameroons (I can’t tell the difference)

And the goodies
- Lamoka Mocha Caramel Popcorn (I am sure these won’t last long)
- Witches Brew Coffee from Finger Lakes Coffee
- Boveda 50 Ct 1yr Humidor Bag (because I’ve been using my lack of storage space as an excuse to buy less cigars)

Thanks Tiver!! I look forward to giving my best attempt at a cigar review. Given I can’t tell the difference between light colored wrappers, I’m sure that will inform you about how poor my reviews are going to be. I’m going to let them rest for a week and get started.

My guess:
#1 low
#2 mid
#3 high

The results:
#1 Macanudo Hyde Park Maduro
This was my first Macanudo of any kind.

#2 Arturo Fuente Anejo No.50 maduro
Another first for me. I liked this one a lot, and toyed with making this my higher end until I had #3. Though this one was without it, I found it interesting that I picked up Spanish cedar here and the cigars do come with a sleeve. You can definitely pick that up.

#3 Arturo Fuente Rothschild Maduro. Was my favorite of the 3.

Clearly I was wrong on all accounts. 😔 if it wasn't for the burn issues towards the end, the Anejo would likely have been my top choice.

Thank you Papa for a wonderful experience and Danm for setting this all up. This was the first time I ever sat down a recorded thoughts as I was smoking. Normally I just sit back and enjoy. This really makes you think about things as it moves along.

@JGRAZ I will go along with you somewhat. I think the Mac maddie are pretty one dimensional. The AF Rothschild maddie is in the entry category of long filler AF cigars. I am a little familiar with both.and I think you did well describing each. The AF Roth maddie can be a little rough around the edges, but I like it pretty well. The Mac maddie is extremely predictable albeit on the rather mild side without any oomph. The Anejo is unfamiliar to me so can't comment.

Sitting quietly and thinking about what a cigar is doing is a great way to realize what it is about cigars that we like.
