Puro Pot Pass V

I hope to be able to smoke it tonight.

I would give it a couple of days in the humi with a good hydrometer to make sure it's gravity comes correct after sitting in all this heat.

I absolutely agree.

Heat?! Come visit Oregon. I think it has rained the last week and on top of that the highest tempeture was probably 70 degrees here, but it probably is a good idea to let it rest, so I'll be smoking it this weekend.

Let them rest it was 102 here when i sent them.

I elected not to send a humipack in the box due to the heat i didn't think it would be a good idea to add extra humidity in this heat
Crap i better get off my ass and work on some sig tags.

Well, they just arrived in the mail and they look great! They are sitting in my humidor now for the next few days.

Alright, unfortunately I just couldn't wait because tonight was the last night I'll have to smoke for at least a few weeks.

Here's how it went:

I pulled the dark torpedo puro out of my 65 rH humidor and gave it a nice glance over. The first thing that I noticed was the triple cap on this short torpedo was very stubby compared to many others I have seen. It had a terrific pre-light aroma of rich earthy tobacco. The stick had a very nice and heavy/tight construction to it. I slowly toasted the end until it got a nice even burn. The draw was on the heavy side, but the first few puffs were very rich and tasted like almost like a leathery cocoa. The ash was a beautiful white and held on for just over an inch. My initial reaction was that it tasted much like the last Oliva V that I had a few weeks ago, which is a Nicaraguan puro. However the next third really threw me for a loop. I would have the say the next two thirds tasted like rich and heavy earthy tobacco. The stick was pretty full bodied, and while I didn't experience a massive nicotine rush, it certainly had a lot of power. I have had this taste before in another stick and that was an LFD.

So, to much avail, I'm going to say that this was a puro strait out of the Dominican Republic

Although, in the back of my mind I know how tricky you guys might try and be. I have to say I wouldn't be surprised if it was an ISOM or some random cigar producing country, such as Peru or Jamaica.

Congratulations Cody you are the first loser

You Just smoked a El Baton a Nicaraguan puro.

[Cody44]

I should have just stuck with my gut. This stick tasted a lot like an Oliva V.

My proposed puts are:
La Aroma De Cuba Mi Amor Robusto
Alec Bradley Prensado Robusto
La Flor Dominicana Double Ligero Chisel
