[mail man]

no problem, sounds like a good idea...although, you did me in by putting Jamie after me, I had a Camacho as my naked stick, but had to change it knowing how Jamie is a Camacho whore

You guys better start guessing right..

I like the idea of the blind prize bag, but what you decide is what I'll follow.

I'm down with posting the prize puts, serves both the purposes that Mark mentioned in his post very well. I'll try to get to the naked stick over lunch today.

Make sure you eat a spicy, nutty, woody, and leathery meal beforehand

O.K. I smoked the puro over the lunch hour......since it was a churchill size, I had to drop it with about 2" left.

Looking at the cigar it has a medium dark shade wrapper...not a maduro, oscuro or rosado. It has many sunspots on it, and looks and feels "bumpy" with some pronounced veins. Looks to be double capped. It is uniformly firm for the length of the stick and the foot appears to be well bunched, though it doesn't appear to be booked but it is nicked up a tad and kinda difficult to tell for sure.

Pre-light scent is a little bit of hay....and tobacco. Not an overly strong smell. Cold draw is medium firm, just fine, but reveals no extra tastes. On the cut I noticed a little depression in the end of the cigar, and a tiny ball of tobacco on the underside of the removed portion of the cap.

Light was easy and burn was fine for the duration, though it did tend to cone quite a bit but stayed on center. Flavor was medium, had some leather and a caramel overtone to the finish. The nose exhale had a medium sting that mellowed out as the smoke reached the mid-point. The flavor was consistent throughout the stick with no drastic changes or bitterness towards the end.

I'm gonna guess this is a Cuban.......with a fall back of Honduran......with a third choice of Argentinian......or maybe Panamanian.....or Colombian, but most certainly not Czechoslovakian or Romanian.

Wow, I fooled you???? You were wrong with all of your guesses...I picked this cigar because it didn't look like all of the other Padron 4000 in the box, and was hoping it would throw you off Nic puro...sorry bro.
I did notice that you were very picky about your description seeing how it seems to affect the sigtag
