Very, very nice reviews.
Here is what you smoked:
A. Perdomo Fresco Torpedo: $1.53
B. Rocky Patel Vintage 1999 Toro: $ 7.00

Congratulations, you nailed it!!! Sig-tag on its way via PM, thanks for playing.

I decided on bag 11. Both we're light colored wrappers. One being a torpedo and the other more like a churchhill. Both 6 inches and around 50 ring gauge. Looking at them without bands, you would think it was the same cigar.

Cigar A:

This cigar felt a little soft around the center, a few veins, and light in color. I cut the cap and the pre light draw seemed fine, toasted the foot. It was a bit harder to light than other cigars. First draw seemed to have a little spice and sweet taste that only lasted about 5 minutes. That was replaced with a harsher earthy taste. The second third is were the problem started, it started getting very harsh and unpleasant. Then the wrapper started to unwrap!! After about 5 minutes the wrapper fell off! I had never had this happen before, it did expose a darker shade of tobacco underneath. I put it to rest shortly after that.

Cigar B:

This cigar felt as if had a better construction than A, it also had a few veins and light in color. The pre-light draw was better so I went ahead and toasted the foot. It lit well and burned even through the whole cigar. The firts third had subtle hints of earth and nuts. It put out alot of smoke and was a lot better that A. The burn still was close to perfect throughout the second third. The taste picked up more of the earthy tones but still a faint nutty taste. This lasted for the last third as well. I nubbed it. This was a very enjoyable cigar.

Putting aside the wrapper issue and comparing even just the first third of both cigars, I would say B was much better than A. This is not only in my taste, but in the smoke it produced and the burn.

I have enjoyed this pass very much and thank Ashauler and everyone else for letting be part of it.

I would think you know my answer but here it is:

I would think by far, that B is the more expensive cigar.

Congrats bro. I can't say that I've had an entire wrapper fall off but have had some unwind. I had some Ghurka perfectos that once you removed the band it was really hard to tell the head from the foot. If you light the head it will unwind.

It started unwinding at the burn and within a couple of minutes it was just flopping around the cigar. Good thing it was a torpedo, kind of hard, even for newbie, to light the wrong end!!

Thanks Rich

Don't worry about it my brother, it's all good! The unwrapping gave me an excuse to quit smoking it.
No offense to others who like that cigar, but for me it wasn't a tasteful smoke.

But, thanks for the offer.

Thanks Rich

OK folks...I've not smoked in over a week due to my crazy assed work schedule and a little sinus issue. So my palet should be ready for the smoking. I smoked Cigar B last night and Cigar A this morning.

Cigar B...This cigar had a medium brown wrapper with light viens. It was a little longer than a corona. The cigar appeared to be pretty well made with the cap being kind of sloppy. It had a light floral smell that carried over to the prelight draw. I used a punch to open up this cigar. I drank my standard Pepsi Cola with this cigar.

Well to be honest this cigar sucked. It burned hot. The taste was extremely tannic. It did mellow a bit durnig the second half. The ash was dark black and dense just like the arouma. I would not buy this cigar.

Cigar A...This cigar has a wrapper a little darker than Cigar B. It was slightly mottled with small specks. It was approximately a Toro sized cigar. It had a perfectly made rounded triple cap...was filled perfectly...and had a perfectly cut foot. It had a slight manure arouma and a musty prelight draw. I also used a punch on this cigar.

This cigar had just about everything you would want in a cigar. It lit well...smoked even...and was strong enough to keep your attention without overwelming you. I tasted hints of cocco, rasins, and light spice during the length of the smoke. I had a cup of Kona coffee with it after breakfast. I would buy this cigar.

I reached into the pass and pulled out Baggie #12 completely at random. Cigar A is definately the more expensive cigar. I'm not real sure of it's origin. Cigar B is definately the cheaper of the two. I think it has some really nasty Honduran tobacco in it.
