Very nice puts, Rich! What a prize pack this has built into...

Take your time. I'm not exactly in a rush to be branded a loser again.

Aw come on, he can't keep us in suspense for too long.

James will fix that. But, he'll start it back off right.....guaranteed.

Not so sure. I think this prize pack will keep growing. Got the package today- everything looks great. The puro is in the Robusto size range. Wrapper initially stands out as Cuban. If it were a Nicaraguan, the color would be somewhere between an Illisione and a Cabaguan. Dominican would be my next guess based on appearance alone. The flavor profile would fall somewhere between those two (Illlisione and Cabaguan) as well. Triple cap too. The cigar is firm and veiny. No real prelight aroma (maybe hay). Nice prelight draw and super good/straight burn with a light gray ash. Flavor was an initial blast of wonderful spice. 1/3 to midway, became milder with hints of leather, then returning to spice. I would put this at medium in body and medium complex in flavor. I want to go Nicaraguan due to that initial and finishing spice, but I am going to surrender to the same guess as Rich's last attempt and go CUBAN? Regardless, hell of a good cigar. Thanks for sharing!!!

Either bring on the silly sig tag or give me the green light to smoke this God of Fire...

James, we both had the same guess and both of our puros were from the same country of origin. That was an Opus X Robusto. Dominican. Sorry buddy.

**slcraiders** · 04-15-2010, 10:11 AM

Doh! I did not even stop to think Opus X because from the first post, I assumed this had to be a cigar in the $5 range. The Opus is double that and more ($12 MSRP). I should have know what I was smoking with the Opus

.

My puts are:

One naked puro (in the $5 range)

CAO Sopranos Boss
Alec Bradley Tempus Quadrum
Camacho CLE Limited Ed. (unreleased Signature blend)

Unless anyone objects to any of my puts, I should be able to get this all repackaged and hit the PO tomorrow or Saturday...

You know, it could be interpreted here that if you want the flavor profile of a Cuban, just light up a Dominican puro......
