wasch_24 Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 » All reviews to be logged on beween Now and the 5thof May. all cigars should » be with you byend of next week. Just received mine last night. Nice looking cigar. The foot is slightly cracked but will not affect the burn. Gonna let it recover from the journey for a few days before I light it up. Sure does stink like a barnyard...is it strange that I like that? ;-)
WFZone Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 My "Test" smoke arrived yesterday. Very nice looking cigar with a slight box press unless created by the mailer envelope that Lisa used. I plan on conducting my test this weekend.
stevejb Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 My cigar arrived Tuesday and I let it settle for a few days. It is a robusto with a perfect colarado wrapper. No veins or blemishes. Very boxpressed and my first thought was a VR Famoso or SLR Regio. The cigar was a little spongy and I was hoping that it wouldn't be underfilled. It lit perfectly and it drew with ease. The first few puffs had a nice spice kick which made me very happy. I'm not good with picking flavors to describe tobacco but it had that rich beany flavor I associate with Cohibas,VR's, and occasionally ERDM's and SLR's. Other than that it was pure cuban tobacco. The dark grey ash held firm and only dropped off when I flicked it. A good deal of smoke was produced as well. My thoughts of it being underfilled were unfounded as I smoked it down to the nub. A very fine cigar that hit the spot on a typical warrm sunny Vegas day. 93 out of 100. I'll stick with my VR Famoso guess even though I'm probably way off. Thank yous to Rob and Lisa for letting me participate.

wasch_24 Posted April 25, 2005 Posted April 25, 2005 Well, it figures. I was planning on smoking my mystery cigar this weekend but I have come down with a sore throat and some nasty drip. I will get my review submitted by the 30th though. I just want to wait 'till I'll be able to taste it.
