Sucks for you then...


Thanks ash. Fyi, I burned the Cuesta Rey. Pretty tasty smoke. A bit mild but very nice taste to it. It sparked an interest to try the Sun-Grown and the Centenario. Thanks again for that.

I can recommend the Sun-Grown. They are a bit milder, but the taste is great.

Petit Lancero (6.25 x 39)
Wrapper: Dominican Republic
Filler: Dominican Republic
Binder: Dominican Republic

Drink: Coke

The construction of this slender cigar was very nice. A little stiff near the cap but wasn't an issue. This cigar had a very nice golden brown, smooth rosado wrapper. The cap clipped nicely and the prelight draw was very smooth. The scent of the unlit stick was nothing but sweet tasty tobacco.

After lighting the foot, I was immediately met with a big peppery spice. Two puffs later the spice mellowed out quite a bit to a medium spice range. A creamy, slightly sweet taste joined the spice. I couldn't put my finger on the sweet taste. It was almost caramel like. The finish was a mild leather. Half way through the sweetness dropped off and a robust coffee taste picked up. The spiciness stayed roughly the same and the finish became refreshingly grassy.

This cigar produced a generous amount of thick, grassy scented smoke and the ash was a mid-range grey that held one for a good length. I probably could have worked the ash to stay on the entire stick.

The entire length of the cigar was nicely balanced, and the draw was always smooth and cool. I was very happy with this cigar. Well worth sitting out in 39°f weather for.

Thanks for the opportunity to smoke this stick Jamie. And thanks Dennis for hanging out via chat for it. It was a good time.

Robusto (5 x 50)
Wrapper: Ecuadorian Sumatra
Filler: Nicaraguan
Binder: Cameroon (I think)

Drink: coffee

Construction was solid with no soft spots. The wrapper was a nice looking slightly oily brown. The scent of the cigar unlit was sweet and grassy with a slight hint of fresh mint. The cap cut clean and the prelight draw was nice and tasted earthy.

Lit, this cigar produced a ton of thick white smoke that had a simple aroma of sweet tobacco. At first the cigar was very peppery with a strong leather finish. About 1/3 down the spice dropped a little and a nutty taste joined in. As the cigar burned shorter the spice lessened until it totally dropped off with about 1/4 of the stick left. For the last 1/4 the nuttiness went away and a tasty of fresh grass was introduced. The finish at this point was still leathery, but much milder then it was before.

I was pretty impressed with this cigar. It's a little over priced IMO(MSRP $6.65), due to the limited production I guess. If you see them on sale, they are worth checking out.
