    Hahaa...

    I've been wanting to try the Cuvee Rouge, since the Cuvee Blanc is my favorite, (read.. "only one I can stand"), Connecticut shade cigar.


    If I hadn't got the bits of tobacco, I would have guessed wrong, But I DO love some Fumadores

    Hi All

    I took bag #3, two Torpedo vitolas.

    Smoked cigar A last night and really enjoyed it.

    It had a maduro wrapper, lightly veiny. Good tobacco smell prelight, medium draw.

    It didn't develop much smoke but what there was had a good smell to it. It lasted me slightly more than 1.5 hours. Only had one time about half way through it that it almost went out. I'd say that it was a full bodied smoke and it had a great finish. Probably shouldn't have smoked it so close to going to bed because I got some really weird dreams from it

    Altogether, very enjoyable smoke and Cigar B has its work cut out for it I'll be smoking it tonight.

    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.

    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
