Sutton Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 Smoked my cigar today. Kinda rushed through it. First third was very harsh and bitter to me. Cigar started to mellow out after the first third. Lots of dark coffee with leather. Final third was very raw and harsh to me. I did get some hints of floral notes from retrohail. IMO this is a very young cigar and is going to throw a lot of people off. I'm sure if it was aged for a year or 2 it would have been easier to identify. Next cigar I'm going to take the time and do a proper review .
Rye Posted April 7, 2015 Posted April 7, 2015 I can't wait for the reveal, and the next thread to open for cigar no.2!!! 1

Popular Post Rye Posted April 7, 2015 Popular Post Posted April 7, 2015 No offense to the ones remaining, for I know not of their circumstance, but we have already a late start and longer smoking window for this week, and a month + is plenty! Hurry it up gents! If I was late, I would expect forfeiture from that cigar 7

fabes Posted April 10, 2015 Posted April 10, 2015 I'll talk about my experience now as the results are up and I didn't want to sway anyone before it was announced. Mine was a sample that dropped ash every couple puffs. It also wouldn't comfortably fit into a standard mareva box from my humidor. It was bland and boring tasting. I thought for sure it was tripa corta and so I cut it open during the last 1.5 inch to see. I was wrong. Lovely hand rolled long filler that looked quite nice. Was a great lesson in how a cigar is rolled, but left me at a massive blank for a guess. Oh well... Onward and upward for #2!
bradbrennan Posted April 13, 2015 Posted April 13, 2015 When is the due date for #2? pretty sure when Rob set up the first thread they were exactly a month apart so it would be May 6th
Coolio Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 pretty sure when Rob set up the first thread they were exactly a month apart so it would be May 6th i think it's due April 30th, then the rest at the end of each month. I'm downstairs at the moment smoking no. 2, and from memory there was an email rob sent with the due dates.
bradbrennan Posted April 15, 2015 Posted April 15, 2015 Okay boys I am just waiting on the following members and than I will post up the results Lisa maybe one of the princesses could give us an update on the next date please :-)
