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.
