Finally got around to smoking these things! I lost track of the numbers, but one was incrediblly box pressed and was completely square, and the other was a regular box press.
Not too much to say about either of these, except that they were both great. Cant wait to find out which is which, because which ever one is the cheaper one i'd buy in a heartbeat!
Cigar 1 - Square Maduro Torpedo
Had this one out after a great meal and great live music. Cut perfectly, had two reasonably different fillers (one dark and one medium) and had a great pre/post light draw. To my suprise, the squareness of the cigar fit comfortably in my mouth despite the 'sharp' edges. No special undertones that I caught, just a nice strong cigar with relativly thick smoke. Smoked all the way through with no burn problems or wrapper malfunctions.
Cigar 2 - Boxed pressed maduro
Smoked this one last night with JFellows. Again, perfect cut and pre/post light draw. Had a very nice oily wrapper, and the edges around the cigar fit perfectly in my hand. Thick, blueish smoke; and a lot of it! Also had a nice slow burn, smoked it for nearly two hours. Great flavor throughout, if anything I'd say mocha, but again just had a great madruro tobacco taste.
I enjoyed the hell out of both of these, but I'm going to guess that Cigar 2 (the non torpedo) is the more expensive one. Thanks very much for the great cigars! Cant wait to find out what they are.
