Well done, Al

NWStogie’s package is still officially AWOL...

You dropped it on the floor and accidentally kicked it under the furniture with your dirty underwear. You are welcome.

Humidor must be full

Just sampled some of that Hank sauce that Shaun sent. Fantastic! Lots of flavor. Not too spicy. Made my own buffalo wings.

OK, wise guys it's not what you think.

he sent me one a while back. I thought it was great, not just heat, but discernible flavor as well.

Glad no one made a joke about Hank Sauce. I would have been worried if there was a sack print included though.

Shaun sent me a bottle also thats some good sauce

Ok time for my last review.. Cigar 1

6.5x44ish

Habano/connie barber pole. (maybe, the connie is a bit darker than normal). The connie is the much thicker stripe than the habano which is a much thinner strip.

Very cubanesque woody smell from the wrappers. Tobacco is slightly veiny and not as rough as the first, not as smooth as second.

Prelight draw is perfect. Extremely sweet vanilla with a touch of floral.

1/3: upon light the sweet continues. This has a very tropical feel and I should be enjoying this on a beach. Decided to part with a Weiss from Devils Backbone out of Virginia.

Becoming very fruity. Never had a cigar this fruity before. At about an inch, the spice starts to come on. The spice is almost a separate flavor to the fruitiness. Smoking a bit further they start to blend together like a spiced pear pie with ice cream bringing that vanilla profile back. Nicotine hitting before the 1st 3rd finishes.

I'm pretty sure this is some type of limited boutique blend.

2/3: spice is starting to pick up and linger on the lips. Sweet has mellowed a bit and this is becoming more of the traditional "fruit" flavor profile of tobacco. The mellowing was a distinct change and quite enjoyable. As this third winds down the fruit is transitioning further into a floral profile with the spice retracting a bit.

3/3: it became a spice bomb. The floral/sweet remains and the spice is intense. This rides out through the remainder of the cigar.

Overall this was a very good and dynamic cigar. I wouldn't be a go to cigar for every day but a fantastic way to start a vacation on the beach.

My guess is this is a boutique around $10 mid qualification. I've never had a cigar like it before.


So my guesses stay as reviewed.

#1 - mid range
#2 - yard gar
#3 - high end

Also adding that I finally ordered a coffee grinder this week and was able to have a cup of the coffee from the bag Matt sent in the package. That may have been the best cup of coffee I’ve ever had.

you didn't happen to see Matt's package in the coffee, did you?

Actually yes. I used it to stir in a splash of cream. But that doesn't help solve the mystery of the missing cigars...

Is this the "Age em before you smoke em" cigar review thread?

I have my doubts about ever getting a review from the wombat.

NWS lost his cigars

ypentrya who knows

I think this is done. Until next year.

great line.

Bummer. Was looking forward to seeing what the lancero lover thought. Was a good time though

I think Yaro had something come up but don't know what exactly
