Country sir is correct! That was a Nicaraguan Puro! Manufacturer guess however was not correct the cigar in question was a San Cristobal from Ashton Cigars.

I answered your PM GreekTitan.
Prize pack and naked puro are in the mail. PM sent with tracking info.
Prize pack contents:
JDN Antano El Martillo
San Lotano Oval Robusto
Ashton VSG Corona Gorda
5 wins in a row.:smiley20:
Pass arrived yesterday. I will try and get it fired up tonight or tomorrow.
Good thing I'm not playing this one. I would have broken the win streak!
Patience youngin. Besides, it took you 4 days to smoke your puro. :smiley2:
I just finished up the puro. I had some burn issues with it. It was rolled loose and tunneled badly for the first half. I didn't get much from it here; bitter and nothing. The second half was a some-what better. No tunneling. Decent flavor although very mild in taste. The smoke had a nutty aroma. and the draw had a slight bite of spice. I'm going to put my guess in as Dominican. But I'm pretty lost with the bad roll.
That was really just a general "hello, where is everybody?" to the community. Sorry, it was not my intention to rush you whatsoever. Hopefully that did not affect your experience too much.Quote:

As a side note, it was actually pretty difficult to find a puro that was not Nicaraguan at my local shop. And they have A LOT of cigars. Maybe I just didn't look hard enough. :smiley21:
That would've been my second guess. I'll dig through the cooler tonight after work to find a rocket to send to Mike.
Sorry again guys i got over the flue now i have a flipping cold that is wiping me out, this has been one hell of a month so for for getting sick.:smiley11:
Atleast i felt better for 2 days.
Sorry about my absence. I'll work on the winner and loser tags as soon as possible. I'm in the process of moving, so things are kind of crazy.
In a moment of clarity i have to ask why are you moving?
I'M ruining a 105 temp and sweating my ass off but I'm think I'm OK to be on the net :smiley36:
now tha I'm delirious i decided to start drinking corn liqueur and smoking every fucking cigar i have on hand.
god tomorrow is gonging to be rough.
My pass puts are:
Ave Maria Clermont
Camacho Liberty 2008 in Coffin
AF Anejo 50
On vacation this week but ill check in every now and then.
Sorry for the delay. Pass went out yesterday. I'll post DC when i get home from work. I left it at home.
If for some reason the pass doesn't show by tomorrow, I'll be out of town for the weekend and won't have a chance to smoke the puro until the following weekend.
Got the pass today. I'll get the puro smoked over the weekend.
Smoked the Puro on Saturday night, while at our camp.
Prelight: Robusto size, strong hay aroma (smelled like it was going to be good :smiley14:) Perfect draw and surprise; tasted of hay!
Thoughts: Strong initial blast of spice with some slight leather on the after taste. The spice settled down and the leather became a bit more prominent. Nice burn and is a very enjoyable cigar. After about an inch and a half, the spice died downed some and a nice earthy flavor began to appear. At this point I believe this to be of Honduran or Dominican origin. By the halfway point, flavors completely shifted to to a nice earthy and leathery taste. As the second half went on, the flavors steadily developed a creaminess that peaked when about one inch remained.
Country Guess: Honduran
I really enjoyed this cigar, thank you for letting me enjoy such a good smoke! :smiley20:
Happy to hear that you enjoyed the cigar, Mike. Unfortunately it was a Casa Magna, a Nicaraguan puro.Quote:

Where is GreekTitan's sigtag? Maybe I missed it, but it hasn't been a month yet either so it should still be active, right?
Even though it was a winner tag, there should be some sort of punishment for not displaying it for the full month. :smiley15:
I just got it on Tuesday. And, very well could be user error, but I can't get it to work. I PM'd Cody on Tuesday after I tried it. Also told him, it kinda looks more like a loser tag than winner tag anyway. :smiley4:Quote:
