Can you send it back to me now? This prize pack is amazing.
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...

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...

I'm not sure I know of any Cubans in the 5 dollar range.
Eville, I know of plenty solid Cubans in the $5-$8 range. Honestly, that is the price range I thought I was smoking. There are more Cubans in that range than good Dominicans and the Opus is a good Dominican along with Davidoff etc., but those run much higher. Yet, I did not think that high and automatically excluded those. Sorry if I sound like a sore looser. That is not the case. However, I feel the rules should be revised to say $5 and up, or not to exceed $xx instead of stating needs to be around the $5 mark if we are going to play this way. To double that and a half is a huge swing.

Yep, no foul play implied. I was just thrown off a bit. I had fun smoking that cigar and trying to figure out where it came from. That is what matters. I am also excited for whoever wins this prize pack. It has grown into something pretty special.
Love the new sig tag. Reminds me of the first time I smoked a full/full cigar on an empty stomach.
Mangyrat- these will fly out by Saturday...

I took the $5 mark as a minimum. Sorry for the confusion I have caused.
Lofan37 that looks like it would hurt maybe its time to lay off the refried beens and boiled eggs
