Finished up my reviews Monday, gonna post all at once. This is going to wreck my stellar reputation as a connoisseur of the leaf...
BOB - light brown 6x52 toro
Drink choice - Iced coffee
Scent - Strong barnyard, fresh tobacco
Dry draw - sweet grass, mild tobacco, light resistance
First 3rd - sower grass, hay, nut butter, salt
Switched my drink to beer - Buschhhhh
Second 3rd - roasted nut, mild honey, mild spice
Final 3rd - more roasted nut, sweet honey, mild pepper spice, dry mineral
Perfect burn line, heavy smoke clouds, satisfying smoke.
Dominican puro?
Think this was the every day selection.
FRED - medium brown 6x50 toro
Drink choice - Coke
Scent - Strong, fresh cow turd
Dry draw - mild sweetness, pecan, dry fruit, some resistance
First 3rd - sweet tobacco, toasted pecan and vanilla.
Second 3rd - still getting sweet tobacco but the nut flavors are closer to toasted walnut now and the vanilla has morphed into something closer to a white chocolate cordial cherry.
Final 3rd - a little black pepper, more cordial cherry and some faint syrupy notes.
Wonky burn line, a couple of minor wrapper cracks, light smoke production, very tasty.
Dominican filler? Cameroon wrapper?
Think this was the mid level choice.
HARRY - dark brown 4.75x50 bp robusto
Drink choice - Colombian coffee with whole cream
Scent - dark tobacco, diesel fuel
Dry draw - mild/sweet/dark tobacco, raisin, no resistance
First 3rd - toasted walnut, bittersweet chocolate, raisin.
Second 3rd - dark toasted walnut, dark chocolate, prune, honey.
Final 3rd - more dark walnut, dark chocolate, coffee and a dry/sweet mineral note.
Perfect burn line, excellent draw and smoke production. Very good, my favorite of the 3.
Nicaraguan? Maduro? I'll go out on a limb and guess a Padron anny.
Think this was the top shelf smoke.
Alrighty Jake, I'm ready for you to reveal. I'm sure my guesses missed by a mile but I enjoyed giving it a shot. All very good smokes, thank you sir!
