El Presidente Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Well, cigar number 3 provided a challenge to many! Thanks to those who had construction issues for their grace and good humour. Cigar number 3 was SEP 10. Quai D'Orsay Imperiales was the most popular choice and I can certainly see why. Both cigars share many of the same characteristics particularly when young. If you get a chance, read the reviews of those who piked the cigar and compare them to yours. You will note there is bugger all difference Now I can also see why the Cohiba Esplendido was raised A certain mellow grassiness (also found in Quai D'Orsay), creaminess, toasted tobacco. Unfortunately it was not a Cohiba Esplendido Welcome to the H. Upmann Sir Winston and congratulations to those who picked it as well as to the three tied winners of this years competition ...Andris, Cottierm, Carnivalhobo who picked 2 out of 3 cigars which is an exceptional performance The $500 prize will be split 3 ways so contact me after Tuesday. Well done one and all and I hope you enjoyed it. We might get another comp in for the second half of the year.
Guest rob Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Im glad that my boxes of Sir Winnie's are not like the mystery cigar! Mine are decadant and flavourful. Sir Winnie's are one of my top 3 smokes....and I always swore I'd always be able to pick one. Goes to show I have no F'n idea about cigars. What box code or year are these ones, Rob? Congrats to the winners!!! Well done!!!
sharks Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Talk about crash and burn . Bad year for me !!! To the winners congrats on a fantastic effort. Thanks again Rob for putting this all together!!! Sharks
dB69 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Big congratulations to the winners and very many thanks to Rob for the great fun!!!
canadianbeaver Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Congrats to the winners and especially our rep from Toronto Michel "cottierm" !!!
cottierm Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks Lisa! Alas, I stumbled on the last one... what a shame! Have a nice week-end! Michel
cottierm Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Congratulations to all who participated in this experience! And special congratulations to Andris and Carnivalhobo, well done guys! As for myself? Ah la la, to fail so close to the aim And of course, the Sir Winston was the one I didn't bother to try so sure was I that it couldn't be it and so much I wanted to keep my own specimens of them untouched for the fall! What I have learned from this: when blind-tasting, try ALL cigar of the same vitola before passing judgement! All the best! Michel
Habanos2000 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Never in a million years would I have thought this to be a sir Winnie! Made even worse as this was the only cigar of the 3 that I've had before. Either I'm that bad, Cuba is that inconsistent or both! Hearty congratulations to the winners!
carnivalhobo Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 cheers guys, this was great fun, and its nice that I got lucky
dicko Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Congrats to the winners!! A humbling but fun experience
Lotusguy Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Didn't bother to submit a guess, since I was out of the running anyway, but the Sir Winston was the one that I was 100% certain this was NOT Congratulations to those who guessed lucky figured it out
toasterhead Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Nice to finally get one right. Oddly, this was the only one I smoked alone, without the usual herfing crew offering suggestions.... Congrats to the winners and thanks Rob for the contest. Dave
Pilgrims Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for organising and well done to the winners!
Colt45 Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 Thanks for organising and well done to the winners! Same here - cheers all!
tempbond Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 I can't believe I got this one right ! I've never smoked a Sir Winston before, but it was the only churchill I knew to be "mild", so I guessed that... Congrats to the winners !
nikesupremedunk Posted June 10, 2012 Posted June 10, 2012 congrats to the winners! i want to participate next time (if there is one), how does this work?
mbrody Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Congrats to the winners! Never would have thought that Cigar 3 was a Winnie. Lots of fun, thanks Rob!
amosnaim Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Congrats all winners. I must admit SW wasn't even on my list of options. I had a blast participating. Looking forward to future contests.
NJP Posted June 11, 2012 Posted June 11, 2012 Good form to the winners. I enjoyed the tasting. Thank you RA.
