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.

10th and final round of this year's Review These II pass.

First of all, as a caveat, I'm not necessarily "in it to win it". Meaning, I can bear the humiliating sig tag, I just wanted to see if I can spot a more expensive stick. I blindly picked out baggie #15.

Both cigars appear to be in the robusto-ish vitola, both with natural, medium brown wrappers.

Cigar A:
Had a very leathery smell to it. At first I thought it may just be a scent from the origin of whoever supplied baggie #15, but after smelling Cigar B, it was clear to me that this cigar did indeed smell like leather. I was surprised. I normally don't notice things like that. No real soft spots to speak of, maybe softer spots than others, but still well-constructed. Using the lighting method recently introduced to me by DW, I went to work. After toasting the foot, no immediate flavors came to me. In fact, I could tell almost immediately that this was a bit of a milder bodied cigar than I'm used to. No distinct flavors, but I rarely get those, anyway. It did burn uneven, and try as I might, I couldn't get it to burn even. Nothing really wrong with it, but nothing fabulous, either. Ash was spotted white/grey. It had no spice that I noticed. Nice amount of smoke, however.

Cigar B:
Solid construction, no soft spots, this was like picking up a stick. Very solid. I was kind of worried, as there looked to be a vein that could potentially bust open the cigar, but that didn't happen. As soon as I toasted I knew this was a cigar I liked better. It burned extremely even, and very slow. Very tasty. Light spice, but at no time overwhelming. What a pleasurable experience. I really liked the taste and consistency of this cigar.

I preferred Cigar B of the two, and will choose that one as the more expensive of the two cigars. Thanks to whoever supplied baggie #15, and thanks again to Ashauler for running this pass!
