Jeebs #2 mystery stick.

Light brown large romusto.
First smell sweet Light chocolate.
After burning no sweet at all. Very little spice.
A little bit of pepper on the lips.
I get a little earthy and a little hay/grassy.
About half way through just a touch more spice and now getting a little oak.
A little tight on the draw burn line was very good.
I would say a light to medium body.

I'm gonna guess this is the mid range smoke.
It was ok. Not a lot going on.
The initial smell makes me think the wrapper on #2 and #3 could be the same.
About an hour ten smoke time.

I went out to the mailbox it used to be about four feet off the ground. I swear the post was two feet further into the ground as if something massively heavy drove it down. Opened the box and there was a very heavy box of cigars. The return addy says "J" something or other.

Looks like Jake put a hurting on me and my mailbox. I hope my mail carrier is okay.

Full damage report to follow later.

Tele, so far, so good. You have a well defined and sensitive palate my friend. I can’t wait to read the final review. I think you’ll love the big reveal.

🇨🇮

Sunoverbeach box received. Will post damages tomorrow.

Good news. Seems my mail carrier is no worse for wear and the mailbox, while not probably designed to handle this kind of weight, will not require extensive repairs . OTOH. I will take a while to recover.

Jake has delivered a crushing blow. In a flagrant display of brotherly generosity, he has made it quite clear that rulez are for sissies and he ain't no sissy. Truly an overachiever in the art of forcing a large quantity of cigars into a small package, Jake has fortified my stash with the enhancement of 20 cigars. This required the removal of both of my shoes to count that high. Thank goodness I have all my fingers and toes lest I should have been left to guess at the totality of the offering.

Thank you Jake for this over-the-top smörgåsbord of tasties. Wow!! Truly a banquet of the torcedor's craft.

To begin, Jake has provided the requisite three cigars for review. As further display of unabashed disregard for rulez, he has chosen to name the three as opposed to numbering them.

Big Grey the dog - approx 5.25 x 50-52
Earl the horse - approx 6.5 x 54ish
Fred the bull - of course it's Fred (Ferdinand), it's a bull 5 x 50-52

At a quick glance all three cigars appear to have similar color, a very slightly mottled, medium brown hue. Also they are relatively vein free, but not super smooth. Fred may be a little reddish.
I'll look closer when it's time to spark them up.

The rest of the package went beyond generous and quite pushed the limits of containment afforded by the cardboard walls of the box:

Well Tele, seems like you believe you hit low and med level. I wonder if you' ll be swayed at all by that when you hit the last 'gar. Nice write ups BTW. Looking forward to the conclusion.

Box fro Cheno Arrived yesterday while I was away. Daughter has placed it in my cooler for safe keeping. Unfortunately it will be Tuesday before I can open and and start the review process. Will post the inventory at that time.

Smoke the Plato tiver he’s fragile as hell

Jake, you are a house wrecker, one man demolition crew! Excellent hit

SOB, that’s a Judy Chap if ever I saw one. Delicious assortment

Will do soon Jake 🇨🇮

Don't sell yourself short. Remember they're your reviews. They will only be poor if you don't put any effort into them. It's not about how many notes or flavors you come up with or whether the cigar is good or bad. It's about how you respond to the particular cigar.

I very much look forward to your reviews as well as all the reviews from the participants in this thread.

Cigar #1 from sob.
Real good burn, ash held up pretty nice. Pretty much 1 or 2 flavors earthy/leather the whole cigar. Nothing too complex. Didn't notice much changes. Had a slight sweet smell pre light. My best guess with only smoking #1 is this is the yard gar. Might change my guess after I have the next one.

A LFD NAS???

man that’s a blast from the past.

Good reviews fellers…gonna get to mine asap and lower the bell curve.

Unknown #1 from DrgInc I will write out my thoughts as it happens and leave a long stream of consciousness review.

Medium-dark brown mottled toro. Very firm roll/pack but draw is not too tight.

First light heavy pepper on retro, dry astringent texture. Woody notes maybe bitter bakers chocolate. Hard to find anything beyond the astringency and wood. My least favorite profile in a cigar. If im honest throwing it in the ditch right now has crossed my mind. But ive powered through worse and been rewarded so we'll keep on.

It's a very slow burning cigar. The body is full, the flavors linger a long time. There's an oily mouthfeel but the bitter astringency is overruling any benefit. Still just woody, bitter, dry with hefty Pepin pepper on retro. First touchup at 1" there's a small crack in the wrapper around 2" and the lagging side of the burn is distal to the flaw, so hopefully it'll correct.

After 30 minutes the astringency and bitter wood has fallen off thankfully. Some sweet cream rising up in the finish. Pepper intensity remains. Some cinnamon spice playing alongside. Still some bitterness remains. Touchup #2 required and burn line is past the flaw. Hope that's it. It threatened to tunnel and go out on me as I passed through the crack.

I'm coming up on halfway, it's maybe done punching me in the mouth now. Pepper remains but relaxed, bitterness has left. Nice rich earthy notes with some mineral flavors maybe a dark cherry sweetness. I'm no lightweight when it comes to nicotine tolerance, but I'm feeling this one. I'm at exactly 1 hour. This is a slow burning cigar.

The spice level comes and goes. Not one touchup needed since I got past the crack in the wrapper. Right now the pepper is back on with a heavy cayenne sear in my sinuses making my whole face tingle. Still rich earth, slight cream, slight sweetness.

Hour and a half I'm starting to taste a tarry buildup but could work at purging n stuff to run this another 30-45 minutes. I don't like to smoke any longer than this. I'm kinda bored and ready to do something else and the flavors are going downhill so I'm calling it quits now.

Tl:dr started bitter and astringent with big pepper, pepper remained while it transitioned to a more sweeter earthy tone, some sweet cream came through. A flaw in the wrapper created some issues, it was extremely slow-burning and at a bit over1.5 hours I put it down.

My guess is yard gar, and made by My Father.

It definitely not too long danm, I like hearing the details.

Alright, Sorry for the delay. Been dealing with issues related to my shoulder brake from getting rear ended last October and had a bunch of Dr and Lawyer appts yesterday.

The damage from Cheno is...

The 3 Scooby Doo Mysteries are all in cello and i wont take them out till i am about to smoke


MC 1 - Looks like a Corona to me, closed foot, Lighter wrapper Poss Connecticut or Habano
MC 2 - Toro, Darker Wrapper appears to be a Maduro Cello is dated Dec 22
MC 3 - Box Pressed Toro, Maduro looking wrapper but its a bit lighter and a little more red

Sealed Envelop as well which i will assume has the cheat codes so that is tucked away until all 3 are reviewed. i have no expectation that i will get any of them correct and will probably not even have a good tasting notes review because i am not good at that stuff but i still want to play along as i like a good surprise. Spoilers are the worst!!

The hichikers

AB Prensado Robusto that appears to have a few years rest on it.
Cuban Stock Royal Toro, I have had this before maybe from a past trade? Really enjoyed it.
AJ New World Maduro Toro, Big Fan of thse
Ave Maria Robusto
Montesino with some age, to be honest cant help but think this came from my stock to begin with from a trade? lol. would be hilarious if true, i am a fan so will enjoy either way.
Crux Limitada Gunner New to me, only had 1-2 Crux in the past so looking forward to trying this
The Reckoning - Shaggy foot Never had or heard of but looks intriguing so may need to be the first i try outside of the Mystery cigars.

Thanks Cheno! Cant wait to Dig in!!!!!

Lighting up Mystery Cigar 1 right now
