Premium Draft Spring 2011

[heftysmokes]

Jamie's cigars arrived yesterday so we're all set!

On a side note, for quality control purposes I smoked one cigar from each package upon arrival and one person sent some pretty dry sticks. Unfortunately I can't remember who it was so it looks like over the course of the weekend I'll be forced to smoke one more from each package to find the culprit. I'll have the slightly modified list up by Monday morning.
Thank you for your patience.

Those were probably mine. I'll get you a 5er out stat.

Sounds good. I'll just go ahead and set fire to your remaining four submissions.

And to be on the safe side I'll go ahead and smoke one more from each package as well. Now that I think of it, everybody better just send out five more sticks so we can run a proper draft.

That's it. I'm running the next draft - in a modified heftysmokes fashion*.

Anyone that may be interested, please submit** 5 smokes for consideration & a bottle of single-malt scotch***.



*Draft to be announced at a later time, but very likely, not at all. Not all who enter will get to play. mrtr33 most certainly takes bribes but isn't cheap. Chances are, if there's a US president on the currency you hand me, it's not enough.

**Delivering smokes in person may win you more points, but it could also disqualify you immediately. I will smoke your cigars in front of you for a hefty fee.

***Vintage port also accepted, but I don't drink any ports younger than I am. Considering my age (look in my profile), that could set you back a few bucks.

You're running it, so it's ultimately your call, but I think you're missing out on all of the fun unnecessarily. The snaking order eliminates some of the harshness of the last pick -- and the puts this time look pretty damn good. We're all big boys -- if our sticks linger, they linger -- I'd rather see you partake in the draft. Just my $0.02 -- hell, it ain't even worth that.

Of course, since it's not billable.

Hmm. EGQ, did you realize that you and I have pretty much opposite tastes in cigars give the current Mega-review results? If you didn't like Carolyn/Dawn, then I'm not sure how you will like this one ...

Also, as with much production from that time, construction has not been consistent and the cigar may be overfilled/plugged. I tried to pick a good one, but if that cigar proves to be overfilled/plugged, then please PM me and I'll send you another from that box, or something else if that box has been smoked by then - I'm smoking these pretty regularly now - given the other VR's that I've smoked from the same year previously, I think that this box is just past the cigar's peak.

Rich, Buzz: I haven't smoked either of those Boli's in quite a while, but I'm willing to bet that they'll be better next year, i.e., five years from box date.

I'm looking forward to firing it up, it will be difficult to hold off but I'll do my best.

I've been a huge fan of aged Boli's ever since this: http://www.cigarsmokers.com/threads/...541#post151541

And so, my pick is the 20. Bolivar Short Bolivar RE Asia-Pacifico
