Puro Pot Pass III

[Silencei2]

It wasn't completely bad. Just needed some chill out time to mellow. The little bits of taste reminded me of some other nics I have tried. I can't believe I got it right though which is crazy.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure those sticks have been sitting in my B&Ms humidor for at least 3-4 months Oh well, I'm going to light one up tonight and see how it tastes. Congrats again!

Well here is the winning tag.

Romeo y Julieta Cedros Deluxe No. 2
CAO Gold Maduro

If there are any problems just tell me, I take criticism well

Still cant believe I won. Tell me how the other stick smokes. Maybe I just got a bum one.

If there are no problems with my puts I should be able to ship out tomorrow, Thursday at the latest.

Smoke: ??? ~ Churchill
Drink: Yuengling Bock Beer
Tunes: Scissor Sisters

Wrapper: Nicaraguan
Binder: Nicaraguan
Filler: Nicaraguan
Draw: Medium
Burn: Good
Misc: 90+ minutes

Pre-light: 7x48ish Medium to dark brown wrapper. Nice construction. Triple cap. Somewhat veiny wrapper but not too much. Rich tobacco scent. No prelight flavor.



Light: Easy. Medium draw.

1st 3rd: Woodsy & oily. Has a medium sweet ring to it. Medium body, medium flavor. A slight bitter twinge to it that ends in a slight spice note. Lots of subtleties, or my imagination has run wild.



Ash: Medium to light gray. Wavy layers. Holds on for 1 ½”



2nd 3rd: Oily. Sweetish and a little bitter bit at the end. Still a medium body / flavor. Smoooooooottthhhh and mellow.



3rd 3rd: More woodsy now with the oily. Sweetness has died out a bit, but still there. Still very mellow and enjoyable.



Overall impression: Man, off the bat I was thinking Honduran, but then with the slight bitter twinge, I was thinking Dominican, but in the end, I have to guess NICARAGUAN!!!!!! Bring the sig tag what may, but this was a nice smoke to break up my Lenten ordeal.

Thank you dr. cox for this delicious unbanded puro.
