Revealing Cigar Number 2 of the 2017 FOH International Blind Tasting Competition.

Yayyyyy....2/2 now.  Congrats to all that got it right.  (though I tried to bribe Lisa for some insider info...she held firm!!!)

1 out of 2 so far, Fonseca didn't even cross my mind, lol.  Makes sense with the ugly wrapper.  I guessed the RyJ Cazadores even though I've never had one of those. Atleast I got the size right!

Is box code ARG rather than AGR?  I have a box of F1's that at ARG Feb15.

Wow...my mistake was thinking a discontinued cigar wouldn't qualify as regular production........stupid me?

woohoo.. got cigar 2 right.

Did you actually smoke it or plain guessing again?

Based on size and shape I knew cigar #2 was either a RyJ Cazadores or a Fonseca #1.  The appearance of the cigar did not lean towards one or the other, as I did not see any sign of a box press.  When I smoked cigar #2 I found it quite strong and with none of the flavors that I normally experience with a Fonseca #1.  As I said in my review, if I didn't know that cigar #2 was Cuban I would have guessed it was NC.  Based on the strength and the flavors I was pretty certain it was the RyJ Cazadores.  Now that the identity of cigar #2 has been revealed I can say without any hesitation that cigar #2 is by far the strongest Fonseca #1 I have ever smoked.

Ahhhhh....so "Standard Production Cigars" includes discontinued. Good to know....I didn't even guess because the size of this didn't match anything I saw in current standard production...

Looking forward to #3...

I knew my guess was wrong the moment I hit "Send". It reminded me nothing of the Fonsecsa I've smoked or the R&J Cazadores either so it was a toss up between the 2.  Gotta love the consistency.....

FFS!

I had typed Fonseca No.1 in my email to Lisa, then re-read the reviews and changed it at the last second.

I. Am. Such. An. Idiot.

This has to be somewhat fun for you Lisa..here's a portion of my email...haha!!

""Lisa,

If this was a Fonseca 1 I'll sh@&$t a brick.  So so strong to me.   My
official guess is Romeo y Julieta Cazadores.  "
