last words:

buzz: good cigar, will pick up a fiver.

craig: probably the best cigar of the five objectively, but i preferred carolyn's taste profile.

egq: decent smoke.

heftysmokes: really good. Unfortunately, the combination of way too much rum and writing in the dark made my notes pretty much illegible... "farting cat"? Really, hefty?

logan37: "emily, it's not you. It's me. I just want to be friends." (but i'll never call you again.) this lady started out very good, but after a short while became what i'm not looking for.

mangyrat: broken wrapper that i had to keep a finger on or the draw was way too easy. My fault i got carried away when i cut it. I liked this cigar a lot.

memphisfred:

mizicke5273: as i stated at the beginning, i thoroughly enjoyed this smoke, to the point i didn't take many notes. I just couldn't arsed with it and be taken away from the enjoyment of it. :) (buzz's note: I have no idea what "arsed" was supposed to be)

nhab: nice oily maduro wrapper, construction was not very good, cap was sloppy, but solid. The tobacco was rich. Too tired and relaxed to finish. Nice med-full bodied stick.

slcraiders: the name emily smells of expensive. This is not a bad tasting stick. Too bad mine had construction issues. I am hoping these go for less than my price guess.

tachycoventry: not a bad stick, it just didn't have the flavor profile that i prefer.

tdre977: i think i have 1 more emily in my box, i'd like to give her another try, this stick was just giving me some mean burn issues. Photobucket was giving me grief too so i don't have any pics up, just not my night.

EDITOR’S NOTE:
These cigars were purchased from RMR Cigar (www.rmrcigar.com). They were running a 30% off special so we were able to pick them up for $57.36 (box of 20). The cigars came nicely packaged in a cedar box, each cigar in a cedar sleeve inside a nice aluminum tube. The lowest box price from the December 2010 CigarCyclopedia's Comparison Shopper is $79.90, coming out to $4.00 per stick. The average price guess was a little high at $6.89.

And so the winner is...
