Fab 5 challenge: Build your own Cigar

[El Presidente]

So you have won the Fab 5 man of the year and the prize is a years supply of a custom made cigar for you. 

One cigar that will be blended for you and you alone. 

Use the poll. In terms of flavour profile, you can choose three. It's tougher than it looks.

I really miss the mushroom notes in some old Bolivars. Maybe it’s still there as I need to get back in the Habanos game. 🤷‍♂️

Honestly, something that'd approximate a Partagas D4 would be heavenly for me!

That was easier than it looked…😳

The tough part was the limit of 3 flavors. I could go a lot of directions but here goes:

Lonsdale

nutty, cream, barnyard funk 

medium

colorado

[Hoosh]

Lonsdale 

Full bodied

Earthy, cocoa, and creamy

Maduro

Medium
Honey, Cream, Nutty, with a wafe of cocoa and sweet cinnamon spice to finish. 
Cafe Colorado. 
Please make it!

Imma guessing we all wanted something impossible. Well, I did at least, as I unknowingly requested what is basically a Punch 48. A Romeo would be a fun vitola as well. Then again, I'd also love an NC to just have either a Punch or JL fruitiness. 

Cheers!

I created a poor man’s CoRo…

Vitola: Hermosos No. 3 (48 × 140)

Body: Medium-Full

Wrapper: Cafe-Colorado

Profile: Honey, cream, citrus

Think of this as a cross between a PLPC and Siglo V.

The PLPC gives the honeyed sweetness, and Siglo V has the orange-creamsicle citrus/cream note. Put those together in a Hermosos No. 3 with some creative blending to get medium-full body (pillowy, velvety mouthfeel but with these 3 core flavors coming through vs the earth/leather/spice typical with a fuller body) and you have a perfect companion for late afternoon through the evening. 

Name: El Postre del Sol  (The Dessert of the Sun)

BR version of SP HOMER RE/ HUP Mag 54.

I’d buy a few boxes for sure.

Cross between an E2 and Monte Petit 2 in Robusto format.

Any chance Fabrica 5 will make a cigar with an Ecuadorian sumatra wrapper in the future, that's my favorite?

[Li Bai]

A slimmer Salomones would take my vote, although a Butifarra N°2 would be really cool too 👍

[BrightonCorgi]

No Candela wrapper option? What kind of poll is this?

[El Niño]

This is so much fun! DEMOCRACY!!

[Blazer]

Would've liked coffee to go along with my cocoa and cream!

[El Presidente]

The poll certainly puts forward some very clear messaging.

To me it looks like the magic 8 ball has come up with this:

Increase it in gauge to a 46 and it is right on the money.

I don’t mind being the odd one out.

That would go down well with me, I must say!

I’m thinking of a cross between an Esplendidos & Siglo V in a long Ninfas format.
