sorry for the tardiness on the response. That is...WRONG
'Twas a nicaraguan, Padron. Now, I hope the next one won't be nicaraguan, that makes 3 in a row.

Damn.......I'll add my 3 to the pot and forward them on Thursday when I return to Wichita. Looking forward to my new sig tag.:smiley18:
O.K. the pot and my puro will fly today. In adding my 3 to the pot I noticed that there was quite a bit of damage to the Castle Hall stick in the pot......and on further inspection the RP 90 or 92 (I don't remember which it was) had some damage to the cap....which should be o.k. and not affect it too much it will have to be cut instead of punched though.
I seperated out all the naked sticks including the two above and put them in individual baggies to hopefully prevent further damage and threw in an extra Gurkah G3. I put my mystery puro in its own bag and labeled it.
Maduro Man.....need your addy. PM me please.
Ok Ashauler. I pmed you my info. Thanks for letting me be part of this.Quote:

Looking forward to this.

This could definitely turn into a running thing. We should get more people to sign up.

Fuggin' A!
OK, well here goes.
I gathered my cigar smoking accessories and proceeded to smoke the "Mystery Stick" from MaduroMan:
http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/9...upplieslv7.jpg
A robusto sized, slightly dark cigar, the wrapper had a few blemishes but the construction seemed great. The foot was cut at a slight angle which I have never seen before so I don't know if this was a mistake or not.
It first I thought it would be a little tough on the draw as the cigar was pretty firm. However after lighting up it had a perfect draw and burn. The ash was a nice grey with some darker stripes and held on for over an inch. I must say I really enjoyed this cigar. It was slightly spicy to begin with but it mellowed out nicely.
I'm no expert so I won't say that this is anything but a guess, but I'll say it was a Nicaraguan.
So, how did I do? If I hear back today I'll have the package ready to go out to TampaSupremo tomorrow. I am going to Baton Rouge to (hopefully) watch the Gators beat LSU this weekend, so if I don't hear back today I'll get the package in the mail on Monday.
Also, where is MaduroMan's new sig pic? You seem to be slipping a little Chris.

I really like the way you laid out your review of the mystery stick. What were you drinking?
As far as your guess I’m sorry to say YOU ARE WRONG! The Stick you smoked was a “Santa Clara 1830” Robusto from (ARE YOU SITTING DOWN?) MEXICO! 100% all Mexican long leaf from the San Andres Valley. The stick you smoked I picked up last year on my last visit to Mexico City. These sticks are VERY hard to find here in the states, however they do sell a brand of Santa Clara 1830s called “Havana Reserve” JRs is the only place I know that sells them here. Made from the same tobacco, just they are square pressed instead of rolled like the one you smoked.
I was looking for some Cubans (Just like all of us do when we go there) and got turned on to them. My buddy told me that Mexico has ITS own line of sticks that can hold their own on the market today. My first thought was HELL NO!!! Mexican Sticks SUCK!!! Well I was soon proven wrong. As you said in your review, you really enjoyed the cigar. That’s why I brought 2 boxes home with me on my last visit to Mexico City. I don’t know why Mexican sticks get such a bad wrap (No pun intended) maybe it is because the market does not want them there. Don’t believe the hype; Mexico can produce a good cigar. I found that out and it looks like you did too spiffy.
Glad you enjoyed it! If any body else out there has tried these let me know what you think about em… :smiley20:
Ya know, I was gonna say Mexico with all of the hype you've been giving them around here. I just didn't know that they were a puro as well. Nice Cigar. Had it with a glass of Makers Mark.
Tampa Supremo. I'll add my three to the pot, put in a mystery puro, and get these out the door tomorrow morning. Its a big pot so good luck.
spiffy
Yo Chris, add another loser to the Sig Tag list...:smiley18::smiley18:
So the zip-lock for "the pot" was getting a little overcrowded. I ended up just putting everything into a glad-ware with a humi-pack.
To the pot I added:
5 Vegas Miami Churchill
CI Legends by Don Pepin Garcia (Yellow Label)
A. Fuente Hemingway Classic
Everything is now resting comfortably, all boxed up and out the door.

Those are some really good sticks you added spiffy!!! The lucky SOB that hits this pot is going to be VERY HAPPY!!! This Pot has got to be worth almost 100 bones by now.:smiley24:
Can't wait to see it.Quote:
