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.
Alright, sorry about the delay badwhale, life has been a little crazy around here lately. Package went out today, DC #0309 1140 0000 6379 0100.

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 ˝”
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.

Wow three winners in a row. Thats pretty impressive. You just enjoyed a Perdomo Lot 23, a Nicaraguan puro.
Congratulations!
Sweet. I was thinking Padilla Miami or 1932 / something Pepin.
Thanks again bro!

Nope I don't think I have ever had any of those so I cant compare to the Lot 23, I just know I enjoyed it and thats good enough for me.
Ok guys, you can stop thinning the pot now. I should have room for the rest of em.
Congrats Will!
Nice job Will.
Live each day like it's your last, one day you'll get it right.
Winning sig tag has been sent. Congratulations, badwhale! Thanks for posting your puts. We've now tied the number of last year's winners!
TheRichLife, you ready?
Still time to get in on this! No minimum post count required! Read the rules in the first post of this thread, make an announcement here, and shoot me a PM with your address!
I'll post the sig tag tonight when I get home. Images are blocked here at work.

Thanks!

I'm looking forward to it! However, I must admit I'm a bit intimidated by how many winners we've had.
I received the package today. Everything looks great.
I won't have time to smoke the puro this evening, but I'll definitely get to it tomorrow evening and post my review/guess.
Thanks,
Chuck
