Found the above in a 10 pack "brown bag" special (along with a Gurkha, a Padilla Especiale and some other cool sticks. I have no idea what the NP one is (aside from it being a cigar, duh). Has anyone seen an "NP 2004" before with unicorns on it? Says it's from Honduras. Maybe it's a 1-off from a special event? The other 2 are labeled "astral" and "Vega Talanga" of which the first looks to be a Phoenix(?) and the other one looks like it might be a corona, it's a little smaller than a cristales. Hoping I'm right on these.

You may prefer to smoke the "brown bag." LOL

1.) Astral Aged Ecuadorian Churchill.

2.) Vega Talanga Tercio Corona. This cigar has about 3-4 years of age on it.

3.) Nestor Plasencia 2004 Robusto.

daveincincy,

OMG that hurt!

Dave in Cincy, you elitest bas---d....I agree, the bag would be a better smoke.

LOL

2 are made by General Cigar and the 3rd by Nestor Plasencia

That's not bad stuff for a brown bag sampler! I would have though bad frogs and white owls!

fyi

nine

I ordered a brown bag about a moth ago and another one 3 days ago they have the same exact smokes. I thought the bags were random. Anyone else have any similar stories. I was disapointed

When I was working, I brown bagged it every day!

NINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

thurson

Cool, thanks, Steve. Now I know what they are. 🙂

As far as smoking the bag, I need to point out that there was no bag, only a box. I'll reserve judgment till after I've tried the unicorn blend (as I am now dubbing it).

Honestly. Unicorns? LOL Maybe I should hold on to it and bomb someone with it, maybe include some nice pink bows, a couple of My Little Pony stickers. hehehehe

That Vega Talenga is a nice little smoke!

Nobody said ..............................

YACK!

I just wanted to follow this up... the same BB SPecial from CI/CBid also included a VS CY Toro. Took it out of the cello today in the sun and noticed that it had plumed. Yes, I did smoke it and yes, it was good. Guess those brown bag specials aren't all bad. 😃

Grey,

I really like to try "lowbrow" smokes, too. You never know what you'll find. I found Puros Indios that way. (Shut up Charlie! LOL). Smoke what you like and like what you smoke.

ick and ick
