Mystery Custom Cuban Lonsdale

[canadianbeaver]

Thought this was a Hamlet, but alas was not... A Cuban custom roll of mysterious origin, but a big success just the same. Curly tail head and shaggy foot. About 42 ring gauge.

I spent more time smoking and enjoying this wonderful cigar than writing notes and thinking about it, but here goes.

Lights perfectly. Right off the bat you know this is going to be a special stick! Smooth and creamy, with great burn and mild taste of tea, incense.

Skip to the second half and this cigar has kicked into stronger gear. Tastes of single malt with scents of spice. A bit bitter but in a good way. Still burning beautifully. No need for any re-lights or corrections.

This is where I learned a new thing: if you need to correct a lopsided burn on your cigar, it is the side at the TOP that burns faster, therefor this will correct the issue.

If this was the last cigar I ever smoked, I would be very satisfied and happy.

And there you have it. The scene on the right is where we smoked them.

Well put Lisa. Those were made August 2011 for the Toronto herf. At the end of the night, I had to buy the remaining cigars as they all needed to be sold. I let folks know I had a few and the orders just came in. In hindsight I wish I had just kept them for myself.

Oh crud. I have asked for this thread to be deleted... Seems that stick is not the Hamlet... just found it in my Humidor. I think it is another custom...

You should be able to delete your own threads.

I know! But I think once you have a reply, you can't.

I know! But I think once you have a reply, you can't.

Just edit your original post then. That'd be the easiest thing to do.

Hey Lisa, can you edit any portion of it? The title? If so, I'd say just go ahead and do so. Maybe just replace Hamlet with whatever you think the cigar actually is...or just cite the vitola and call it a mystery stick. See if that doesn't work for you. After you give it a try, I can take it the next step if needed.

Great suggestion guys, done.

TY. Still have the Hamlet for another day.

Lisa, did the cigar have a closed foot? If so it's a Johnny O. If not, it might be a Jorge Lopez Monsdale.

[tmac77]

Not sure if it would be a Jorge Lopez as he always closes a bit of the foot off with the wrapper for a clean foot. A picture of the foot would have been usefull in identifying this stick.

[maverickdrinker]

I think that I gave you a monsdale Lisa. Would have to see the foot to be sure.

[canadianbeaver]

You can see the whole unlit cigar in the OP... not bursting with shagginess like the hamlet, but not straight either.

Might be a Johnny O but I generally do not like those so much.

Looks like a Monsdale to me They are lovely smokes. Good thing I have about 200 buried deep in the humidor.

[ckearns]

My guess is that it's one of the mystery cigars gifted to us by Wilkey when he visited and it looks like the Johnny O to me. Maybe someone still has theirs and can confirm. Glad to hear you enjoyed it nevertheless.

Lisa, your 3rd pic of your smoking set up is sweet. That is living the good life right there.
