Puro Pot Pass III

[mrtr33]

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.

.....snip I'll TRY to remember this when I make the sig tag today.

The price issue is not too important to me, since a $3 Dominican is just as much NOT Nicaraguan as a $5 one would be.

Exactly what bearing does a minor gaff in the pass have on the quality of the sig tag?......remember:
