    last words:

    badwhale: i try not to think... However, i was thinking, i guess i need my preconceived notions to enjoy shit.
    buzz: worth $17? Nope. Whew. For the money i would buy some padron annys instead. The stick wasn't bad though - i'd buy a box at $8/stick. Did i mention that this scotch is good?
    craig: a good cigar worthy of being called a premium cigar. Not as good as carolyn.
    egq: eh - what else is there to say? Me no likey...
    heftysmokes: very good, not great smoke. I'd like to try it in a different vitola.
    irish79: nubbed this sucker using roach clips. Loved it.
    logan37: "mom, this is dawn." i'm convinced that this is an oliva serie v. However i don't think that this particular vitola is made in the v family. Unless my ring gauge meter is way off. But i'll price it as such anyway.
    mangyrat: nice cigar to start the day off. But the wife didn't appreciate me smoking it inside the house.
    memphisfred: length & ring size were more my liking, and the first two thirds were pretty nice. That last third killed it though.
    nhab: cheap cigar. Fast burner. No real pronounced flavors, mostly light grass.
    slcraiders: would consider a fiver or a box if the price was right, but would not personally drop more than $4-$5 bucks a stick for this cigar.
    tachycoventry: i'm really happy that i had two of these in the package that i got, this is an awesome stick that i would enjoy again and again. Depending on the price i would consider adding a box of these to the cooler! I'm betting that this is a dpg with the spice that i got from it! My only complaint is that i smoked this during the day with iced coffee, this would be awesome with a good scotch after a big meal!
    tdre977: really enjoyed this smoke, i hope its cheap, cause i'd definitely keep a few of these on hand.

    EDITOR’S NOTE:
    These cigars were purchased from Serious Cigars (www.seriouscigars.com). We were not able to find any specials on these, a box of 25 sells for $422.75 with free shipping. The cigars came very nicely packaged in a cedar box. The lowest box price from the December 2010 CigarCyclopedia's Comparison Shopper is $422.75, coming out to $16.91 per stick. The average price guess was $6.32. The closest guess for this round again belongs to Irish79! Remember, the prize pack goes to the person who is closest overall (all 5 cigars). Here are the current standings:

    | PARTICIPANT:... | AMANDA | BETTY. | CAROLYN | DAWN.. | EMILY. | TOTAL. |
    | TachyCoventry.. | $ 6.68 | $ 1.02 | .$ 0.92 | $ 4.55 | $ ---- | $13.17 |

    | logan37 ....... | $ 5.04 | $ 5.72 | .$ 4.01 | $10.83 | $ ---- | $25.60 |

    Thanks, buzz.

    I don't need to buy any more Davidoff now.

    Did I have 2 of those in my set? If so, I believe I had one earlier on Saturday watching the kid play in the yard. I reviewed the second one on Sunday.

    Told you I knew what it was....

    Fuck, I suck at this game. Did I get 2 of these though?? I think so. But if not, at least I have some Oliva Vs. I'll have to check when I get home from job #2. Speaking of, I should get back to work...

    Good thing you didn't have me in this game, I woulda known what this was just by looking at it, never mind the fact that the taste of the wrapper is unmistakeable.

    Millenniums are one of my all time favorites. The Lonsdale is my preferred vitola but any size is fine with me.
