Puro Pot Pass III

[Irish79]

Nelson tickles your taste buds?

Hmm, yeah, I misspoke there. Thanks for letting in on this thing late and giving me an opportunity to win on my own this year. I'll be looking forward to the next edition. Bring on my nice new sig tag.

I hope you're ready LawDog2006, because I have a nice stick for you to review.

Sig tag sent - I found another deserving sig tag (IMHO).

Congrats again, Dan.

OK, just got the package and all looks well, wont get a chance to smoke it until probably wed/Thurs. Ready the loser tag!

[Tdre977]

OK, here goes nothing....

Size: 6.25x52 Belicoso?

Wrapper: Corojo?

Strength: med-full

Appearance: Nice construction, a little bumpy, medium color.

Nice spicy kick to it with a underlying sweetness (in a very heterosexual way) developed into a complex smoke, toasty/creamy. White ash, held on for about 1 inch.

My guess......., a very enjoyable NICARAGUAN puro

Ummmm... isn't that below the price range for the puro? I get the beli's at $3.00/stick using CI & cigarcyclopedia.

This is my fault. LawDog2006 asked me specifically if this cigar was up to snuff for this pass. I did the research on cigarcyclopedia, and what I came up with on that version of cigarcyclopedia at the time (I forget what the date stamp was), the Nativo's were in the $5 range, despite them being available at CI for a cheaper price. I still opted to approve the stick for the pass, because we had decided in the OP that the price would be determined using cigarcyclopedia. I just assumed CI was having a sale, and the price would bump back up.

My apologies to Tdre977 and the other members of this pass. I'll TRY to remember this when I make the sig tag today.
