Ok, Last One!!

This was a big 7" Double Corona size, medium brown, good construction, easy cut, ok draw - a little tight, the pre light draw tasted a little sweet - almost like a swisher sweet! (uh oh...) 1/2 inch through it was bittersweet but burn was good and ash was tight. 1 &1/2 inch into it, bur was crooked, ash tight, taste was still bitter sweet. 2 inches into it, still not much tobacco flavor, a little peppery, still a weird flavor. 1/2 through burn has gotten horrible - I've tried to correct it, but it won't take. Purged it and it finally is developing some decent taste. Kept getting more and more crooked, but decent tobacco flavor is coming through. Down to 2" - the burn is about 2" crooked! The flavor got better but never really good. This might be a good golf gar, but not much better than that in my oh so humble opinion.

Ok, Dave! All done! Inquiring minds want to know!!!

So how would you rank the three from worst to best?

Any guesses on what they are?

WHY DON'T YOU JUST TELL ME??!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD JUST LEAVE ME HANGING LIKE THAT! HOW CRUEL!!!

Ok, I'd say the second (white?) was the best, then the first (blue?) and then the red one. The first two were reminiscent of a few cigars, but I couldn't tell for sure and I'm not about to go that far out on a limb!

Let's see.....

As someone once asked me. "How much would you pay for each of them". 😉

YOU NO GOOD #@%*& SOB!!!! JUST WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE STRINGING ME ALONG LIKE THIS?????





...ok, I knew this was coming.... um.. I'd buy a box of white or blue if they were under $6, I'd pick up a few of the white for up to $10 and the blue for up to $8 - didn't really like the blue that much... maybe under $2 for a golf gar...

HAPPY??????? NOW SPILL THE BEANS!!!

I meant, I didn't like the red that much... I really liked the blue and white - and when I say I'd pay up to $10, that's about as much as I ever pay for a gar, so that's saying a lot.

Ok.. maybe $10 was a little stingy... I would definitely pay the $12-14 that one of my local shops charges for the '26s - that was definitely one of the best gars I've had - I actually never had one before - what a treat! And the capitan - man, that was excellent too! Thanks, Dave! This was fun!!!
