Found a semi-local sauce. Probably one of the best hot sauces I've ever had, but can't always get it.

Out to FP1 in the AM.

Trying chazbos number 1.

A ridiculous fat 60rg cigar.

Initial flavor rather flat, lil bit of pepper followed by wood. Short finish, decently creamy texture. Some faint/fleeting cinnamon / spice showing up. Makes me think it may be an AJF product. Easy draw, decent smoke production.

Made it a lil over an hour, and it's not very good. Didn't really change in flavor other than getting a bit bitter. Wasn't quite halfway, maybe 2", but couldn't go any further. Tossed it.

Guessing yard gar on this.

no fiver needed in return unless there was another person that wanted in but was late to the party then you can just send to them.

Dan, the unbanded #1 was 6x60 Illusione Nosotros. It's been in the bottom of my cooler for about four years. They stopped production of them in 2010. MSRP was around $10
Hopefully the other two work better🇨🇮

Gonna start on #2 from chazbo now while mashing my grain for today's brew.

Wrappers slightly dark, Corojo maybe. Fairly even color, with one dark band in the leaf following the seam. Have to cut about 1.5" off the head of this one, was crushed in transit. On the big end of my preference, looks about a Churchill, maybe a bit shorter.

First light, it's familiar. Not sure what, but I'm pretty sure I've had it before. Not much distinct flavor. Tons of smoke, peppery bite on retrohale. Faint bitter vanilla bean and cedar, but that might be a stretch. Pretty flat. Think it's reminding me of a newer production RB Genesis, but it's not dark enough. Flavor is slightly green.

Little over an inch, not much going on. Cedar increased, some sweet flavor on finish. Still some bite on retrohale. Not bad, not my favorite, but can keep on for now. Strength is a bit high, definitely feeling it already.

Halfway, no big changes. Still kinda green. Sweeter than it started, but overall flavor is the same.

At 1 hour, still without any off flavor, overall unchanged.

Calling it here as the heat is coming through. Overall not bad, better than the first. Not my favorite, but it burned nicely. Would be a decent yard gar. Hour twenty and about 2" of the neutered cigar remain. Could easily be a 2hr smoke at full length. Muted cedar and vanilla bean, overall sweet, pretty strong. Gotta be the yard gar this time.

So, what was this one?

I have never had a 60rg cigar I've enjoyed. Always taste like it's missing half the flavor. No doubt would have been better in a smaller rg.
