Review These Pass II Reviews

[BDurrani]

I found some time today to smoke the second cigar and smoked the other one last weekend.
I'm not too good at reviews but I'll give it a shot.

Cigar A:
Torpedo
Just finished smoking this cigar today. The cigar wasn't too firm but not too soft either. It had a nice white ash with a tight draw at first but then the draw become better after about an inch or so. I didn't find too many flavors in the cigar but it was fairly enjoyable. The cigar became a little bitter near the end of my smoking.

Cigar B:
Torpedo Maduro
I smoked this cigar first and enjoyed it a lot, but then again I enjoy maduro cigars over mild/medium body cigars. It had plenty of flavor and spice. Reminded of a Nicaraguan cigar. The draw was tight throughout but wasn't intolerable. Ash was sturdy and it had no burn issues at all.

I believe that Cigar B was the more expensive of the two.

Thanks for the reviews. Which bag # did you take?

Hi All

To recap: I took bag #3, two Torpedo vitolas.

Smoked cigar A last night and really enjoyed it. Maduro wrapper, very good cigar.

Smoke cigar B tonight:

This was a box press Torpedo, either conneticut or cameroon wrapper, it was hard to tell. Hardly any veins, light tobacco spell prelight, I had to cut it three times to get it to draw well.

That was the only problem with this cigar. It wasn't as strong as cigar A but it had a very good taste and finish. very little smoke but very flavorful. It only lasted an hour but it was a pleasant hour.

Whoever put together this bag really put me to the test.

After smoking cigar A, I had the feeling that it was a either a Torano Virtuoso or an Ashton VSG which would make it the more expensive cigar.

After smoking cigar B, I'm having some doubts

I will stick to my first impression and say that cigar A was the more expensive cigar but I don't think anyone could go wrong with either of these cigars!

Here's to hoping I did better than last time

Got my sticks reviewed. I took bag #8.

Cigar A

This was a robusto size cigar with a natural shade wrapper. Construction was good with a well formed cap and some small veins. Prelight draw was perfect.

The first third of the cigar had notes of leather and tobacco with a hint of pepper. The second and last third didn't change much. the pepper mellowed out a bit and was replaced by a sweet spice that reminded me of a Flor de Oliva Corojo. Overall a good cigar.


Cigar B

This was also a robusto size cigar. This one had a darker colorado maduro wrapper that was smooth with very little veins. The cigar was very firm and well constructed. The prelight draw was surprisingly loose considering how firm the cigar was. The cigar started off with notes of sweet tobacco and I began to notice more of a cedar or wood taste developing along the way. The cigar was very well balanced but never any thing extraordinary. This reminded me of some Fuente stuff out there.

Comparison

Not much of a wow factor on either of these cigars but both were enjoyable. I've had some sinus problems for the past couple of weeks but I'm going to go with my gut instinct and say that cigar b is the more expensive.

A - Famous Nicargua - $3
B - La Aurora 1495 - $6

Nice job Chris!!

[CAJUNBLAZE]

Good job guys. I will start smoking mine this weekend and post my review early next week.
I was lucky enough to get a Diamond Crown Maximus in the last couple of days, so it was nice to see a review, thanks.

This baggie contained two robustos.

Cigar A - Slightly smaller ring guage of the two it would measure closer to 48-49 than the traditional 50. It had a coarse, veiny, dry, medium brown wrapper. The roll was somewhat lumpy which was even more evident with an uneven burn. I would guess the filler to be a blend of Dominican and Porta Rican or possibly even Mexican. It was less than I would want to smoke for an every day stick.

Cigar B - Traditional 5x50 robusto. Nice dark Habano looking, maybe a Sumatra wrapper. Fairly smooth, tight, slightly oily and a very even roll with a perfect cap. This was a full bodied cigar with some spiciness, and thick, creamy smoke. It burned nearly perfect with a light grey ash. I would guess that it is a blend of Nicaraguan and Honduran. I enjoyed this cigar. I am anxious to learn what it was so that I might purchase some.

Without question, Cigar B is the more expensive of the two.

Thanks Ashauler for your dedication to make this a better community.
