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.

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.
