last words:

badwhale: none.

buzz: good cigar for the price, but i'd reach for an antano instead.

craig: i'm pretty set in what i like and what i don't. This is an example of a good cigar whose taste just wasn't what i want in a cigar. Someone else could find this cigar a go-to favourite, but it was just too strong for me to want to smoke again.

egq: like amanda, this would be a good morning smoke for me - better sized for my preference - and a nice smooth smoke.

heftysmokes: i hope it's a cheap one because i'd buy more... Right in my wheelhouse flavorwise.

irish79: good cigar.

logan37: betty's the kind of girl that makes you get to know her before you can do the deed. All that talking is not worth it in this case. The lady was densely filled with tobacco. She felt a little heavy in the hand. I couldn't say that i really liked this cigar. It was ok, at least it wasn't a bad cigar. She redeemed herself in the final 3rd a little.

mangyrat: i wish i had the time to nub this one but i just did not have the time. It was getting better again when i had to let it burn out.

memphisfred: pretty nice oily chewy leathery smoke. Going into each 1/3 it wanted to go crooked but righted itself. Got no idea of buzz's clue...but airbender (never had one) came to mind maybe due to the hot "air" reference... No idea about the polar bears though... Lol.

mizicke5273: well even though i've rated this cigar a c- and such, it might be due to the bad light on my part. I've got a second one and i'm interested to see if it turns out the same.

nhab: ...

slcraiders: i feel like i have morning breath for the second time today...

tachycoventry: if i'm right on the price of this stick ($3.52) i would buy a box of them because it was a pretty good smoke. I'm guessing that the stick may be a little more expensive than i have down and that's unfortunate. One thing to note is that i had a big soft spot at the end of the second third that caused a really un-even burn.

tdre977: feel bad for this stick cause i kinda forced it down, been battling the flu for the past few days, but i don't know if i'd have enjoyed it anyway. Felt bland to me, leaning toward a cheaper stick on this one.

EDITOR’S NOTE:
These cigars were purchased from www.cigarbid.com (AKA the devil site). I picked them up for $40.00 plus $5.50 shipping (bundle of 20). The cigars came bundled in plastic brick and I didn't see any damage to any of the sticks. The lowest box price from the December 2010 CigarCyclopedia's Comparison Shopper is $49.95, coming out to $2.50 per stick. The average price guess was $6.30. The closest guess for this round belongs to nhab and TachyCoventry! Remember, the prize pack goes to the person who is closest overall (all 5 cigars). Here are the current standings:

Good smoke for that price! I will be adding these to the regular rotation!

Ok Buzz, tell us how that last hint related to Betty? Inquiring minds want to know...
