My #1 cigar from frozen is a 5x50ish torpedo shaped cigar. Little Maduro in color. Strong cedar smell.
First light. Holy pepper stick. Can't taste anything but pepper. Long oily finish. Tried to retro hale....bad idea. Like snorting mace. Took a couple more draws and let it sit for 2 minutes. I got cool off.

1st third. Still a lot of pepper but it mellowed out alittle, taking on a sweet tobacco finish. Sharp burn massive amount of stout smoke from the foot. Gray ash
2nd third pepper has died down a good bit, taking on a burnt Carmel flavor with a sweet finish. Almost molasses with a touch vanilla. Consistent burn no touch ups. Still a long peppery finish.
3rd bit has transitioned to a creamy Carmely sweet tobacco finish with almost a dried fruity finish. Idk my palate is pretty numb at this point but I almost taste cherry. My mind might be playing tricks on me. Tried a retro hale. Yup definitely tasting cherry on the finish. Almost like a licorice. Getting hot smoked it to a nub

Overall this is definitely a stick I would keep stocked. Crazy transitions. Awesome after dinner smoke.

Looking forward to the other two banded sticks.
the AF Hemmingway, and the Ramon Allones - Specially Selected!! Durn right lookin foward to ashin these two.


Thanks brother.

pm sent

Awesome stick. And I haven't had a WOAM yet. This will be the first cigar on the beach this summer.
Thanks again.

Eh... hopefully the rest don't have the issues that i had for ya. One of my cigars in the first round just blew out on Euodias, so issues can happen at any time. We all just roll with it to the best of our abilities and move on.

Thanks again. I'll see about another one in the next day or two.

That was for erjaq on the rest of his fiver of the one he sent me... yours will be fine.

Smoke #3 on the golf course today. Bigger ring gauge 56x6. Brought plenty of enjoyment for 9 holes. Was mild to medium, perfect burn and plenty of smoke. Very smooth and creamy with notes of molasses. Should have saved it for the back 9 since it took 2.5 to finish it. WeaponX this was a winner.
Thanks

Cigar #2 from erjaq

Smoked with questionable actions not becoming of a married man.

A 6x48 belicoso with a dark brown satin finish wrapper. Good weight and construction on initial inspection. The foot smells of nuts and chocolate and I nipped 1/4 inch off the rounded head and tested the draw. Surprised as I tasted a hint of cinnamon red hot flavors on the pre-light draw.

As I toasted and lit the cigar the red hots flavor hit and disappeared quickly and evolved to a rich chocolate and nuttiness. The flavor is lingering on my palette and making me feel like almost chewing a candy bar but so much better. The first third took 30 minutes and burn like a razors edge with a bright white, tight ash.

The second third started a transition of flavors. More nuttiness and a strange sweet spicy finish. I'm also tasting this elusive flavor in the back of my tongue but can't quite pin down what it is, but it is great. The ash is holding together for an inch and a half
before showing signs of give. The spice is picking up toward the end of this third, but still a calm spiciness with that sweetness being left to finish. 30 minutes for the second third as well as this stick is burning nice and cool and letting me take the time.

The final third started to give more of a cedar flavor and the spiciness picked up more. Ashed this a total of three times as it held together very well. I even pulled out my homemade finisher to get the most out of this beautiful cigar. Finished it in one hour and 25 minutes total, but now feel like I just cheated on my wife with a cigar.

It was a beautiful day out so I smoked this as my first outside cigar of the year. I had a coke zero to drink as I do with all of my work night cigars, but didn't touch it with this one.

I'm gonna say this is the premium stick in the group.

So, what was it? How much age was on it? And how do I break it to the wife I'm leaving
her for this cigar.

Thank you very much Eric!

Wow... I've had a few LP no.9s before and never thought that highly of them, but maybe that is because I was expecting so much from the hype.

That is why I love these unbranded trades. You don't know what to expect and just have to take the cigar for what it gives you and this one was amazing.

Now off to buy a damn box of them, as I know the wife won't leave me for that price.

I am really long winded at times when writing notes on my cigars, but hey when I go back and compare sticks from previous notes they are mostly the same unless there has been a blend change. Now I need to find my other LP reviews and see why I was so far off before.

Now that you say molasses, that is the sweetness that I could not pull out a flavor for.

I'll be a closet fan boy for now as this is the only one that has really "wowed" me.

Mystery stick #2 from frozen


6x56 toro with a dark brown somewhat toothy wrapper. Heavy weight and tight pack, double cap. The foot smells of chocolate and rich cedar. I used my 50 bmg shell and cut out a massive hole. Quite a bit of resistance, but it'll do.
First light wonderful room notes and a smooth creamy chocolatey smoke with a bit of a wet ashtray finish.
The ashtray flavor disappeared quickly and evolved to a rich chocolate and smooth tobacco smoke. Almost like a hot chocolate flavor. Good clean finish. Mild to medium at most. Good slow burn with a good bit of resistance. But with these flavors it's more about the flavor than the smoke. My whole back porch literally smells of a dark chocolate factory
The second third was the same flavors just richer. Creamy dark cocoa with a hint of creamy sweat tobacco. The ash is holding together for an inch and a half. To the point I'm more worried about wearing it. The spice is picking up toward the end. But still a wonderful flavor.

Then something happens. Closer to the last third. The draw opens wide up and I'm met with a warm dark bakers chocolate smoke. The cigar goes mushy instantly. Still great flavors but becoming so strong it's almost overwhelming. With each draw my mouth is filled with a thick oily smoke that almost takes my breath away.

I'm starting to sweat and get dizzy. But I have a coke zero on the rocks so I push through. I understand now what people mean about got gases. I slow my roll to a draw ever 90 seconds or so.
Everything is becoming very vivid!! Was this thing laced I tell me self. Holy chit!! This is the first stick I've had that transitioned from a mild to full. Knocked my socks off.

Once I backed off my draw ration it mellowed back out and I finished it with a smile on my face.

Overall experience, what a journey, awesome flavors and smoke. I hope this was the yard gar so I can afford to get more. But with the transitions and construction something tells me that was the premo.

What is it??



Thank you frozen awesome stick, I will be ashing more

That my friend was a Ghurka Beast. Glad you enjoyed it, it's one that I keep around for yard-gar rotation, but they are really hit or miss on construction.

I would say 3-6 months is all that was on that one.

Lmfao. Don't knock it till you try it.
