Smoked the unbanded cigar tonight.

The first third was a little weird for me, was very dry, drank a whole glass of Dr Pepper in the first third, I cant describe the flavors in the first third other than leather. Lots of leather and some white pepper.

Second third is where this cigar kicked in for me. The leather toned down, and the pepper was there lightly on the retro hale, but the sweetness kicked in. It tasted like almonds that were sprinkled with sugar, I really enjoyed this third, there was a little hint of chocolate and honestly the finish almost reminded me of a hershey bar with almonds. The only issue in this third was that there was a touch up needed half way through, but thats no big deal since most of the cigars I smoke have this happen due to the wind coming in off the lake.

Final third was the best third! CEDAR, lots and lots of SWEET DELICIOUS CEDAR! Reminded me of a Fuente Don Carlos Edicion de Anniversario, its not the same, but it reminded me of that and you cant go wrong with that. The sweetness was still there, but the cedar stole the show. I smoked this to a nub that burned my lips.

Honestly, overall this was a wonderful cigar. Except for the one touch up the burn was even, the ash was grey and flaky, fell on its own, so when smoking be mindful of your ash or it will end up in your lap. Because of that I dont recommend smoking this while driving, or wearing black pants. The smoke never got hot, nor did it ever once get bitter. If the price point is right, this IMO is box worthy, if the price point is high, its still worth a fiver or 2.

Thanks David, that was a great surprise and cant wait to find out what it was that I just smoked.


PS I have no guess because I suck at guessing.

Can I guess now?

Guess anytime u want. Im not saying til the pass is back in my hands and everyone has had a chance to ash it.



Guess on..

I for one would like to request more reviews from sd72. I find them to be especially informative. He is truly a man above all others..

Bathtubs and razor blades.

Got word box in flight to Va. Puts n takes approved.

This thing is moving right along now.

But no damn reviews! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I thought it went out earlier in the week. If it doesn't arrive tomorrow, it may be a while before it moves again! I won't be around Monday night and I won't be back home until Tuesday, November 12th from vacation.

Oops I thought I was after Russ. Did that change? I see it to went to Taps. I could have had him send it to Charleston or picked it up on the way through Columbia. I'll see what I can do if it gets here on Monday. I'll be busy packing for the trip though.

I think you might have to send us all a 5ver if we have to wait for your vacation.🍺

I guess I could take it with me and pick and choose from the road. I'll definitely have something good with me to put back in there!

Hey kombat, I smoked the Oliva O maddie with the blue band. It was pretty damm good, and stronger than today's O's. What year was it from?

I second that motion. Can we have a vote?




































Nice try Russ. But, I doubt it will fly.

The box has arrived. Starting to look through it now. I'll get it out to the next victim tomorrow before I leave town.
