Well, after some careful analysis of the cigar and tasting. I'd have to say this is a Nicaraguan.

Initial light is very peppery and very young. Tastes remaind the same after the first half and seemed like a cigar aiming to be full bodied but definitely did it in a way that lacked finesse and the character of a fine cigar. Honestly I'd have to say this was definitely a shit stick . Definitely ruled out Honduran and Dominican so if its an off the wall country that could explain the ammonia. There was a bit of a funky after taste too.

Off the wall I want to say its along the lines of a Brickhouse, just a random guess though

Also just wanted to add I compared the wrapper to some sticks and found that it closely resembled an Edge with an exact match on the size I believe it was a 5.5x50 size. Also found that the wrapper closely resembled the Coyolar Puro but no match on the size.

Nicaraguan Casa Magna Robusto. Congratulations on winning. Sorry you didn't enjoy it man. Lets see the first winning sig tag Mark!

Thanks for the sticks! and I didn't mean to beat up on the stick you chose

It's odd that it was a Casa Magna because I have a box of pikitos sitting in my humidor and I love them as a daily stick but it goes to show that they have issues with consistency since they range from smooth full bodied to strong/almost harsh with a young taste.

As a side note, the first box of Pikitos I picked up were all rolled badly and 9 out of 10 tunneled while smoking. It took me 3 months to get them replaced and that's after the rep had to smoke one himself to see how bad they were rolled.

Thanks again ndv21 for sending such a challenging puro, it was definitely fun trying to figure out what it was.
