Puro Pot Pass III

[ashauler]

I am humbly and respectfully ready to recieve and review the next round (here...let me re-read that....ok....looks good)

Will

Gotcha'....hummmmmmmmmmbly.

[mrtr33]

What's all this talk about humming?

[Silencei2]

It wasn't completely bad. Just needed some chill out time to mellow. The little bits of taste reminded me of some other nics I have tried. I can't believe I got it right though which is crazy.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure those sticks have been sitting in my B&Ms humidor for at least 3-4 months Oh well, I'm going to light one up tonight and see how it tastes. Congrats again!

Well here is the winning tag.

Also here are my proposed puts. This is my first pass so I just want to make sure everything is cool.
Carlos Torano 1916
Romeo y Julieta Cedros Deluxe No. 2
CAO Gold Maduro

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.

[dr. cox]

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 ½”



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.

LFD Double Ligero ~ Chiseleto
Illusione CG4

I got therichlife's addy (thanks Mark). I'll wait to hear the verdict and mail tomorrow if possible. Thanks for the pass. This was a BLAST!!!!!!

Will

[dr. cox]

Wow three winners in a row. Thats pretty impressive. You just enjoyed a Perdomo Lot 23, a Nicaraguan puro.

Congratulations!

[badwhale]

Sweet. I was thinking Padilla Miami or 1932 / something Pepin.

Thanks again bro!

Will

[dr. cox]

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.

[Eville]

Ok guys, you can stop thinning the pot now. I should have room for the rest of em.

Congrats Will!

[mail man]

I'm looking forward to it! However, I must admit I'm a bit intimidated by how many winners we've had.

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,
