Puro Pot Pass V

[kingbeefy]

Tell ya what, you find a knock off that tastes like a Cohiba, buy it. So far, for me, no such luck.

I wouldn't imagine ever being so lucky either, that was my first ISOM Cohiba and it was pretty damn good. :)

Glad you liked it. These 09 VI's are starting to get pretty nice right now I think. Last year the one I smoked was still pretty harsh/bitter. I've been smoking 1 every 6-12 months to see how the aging is affecting them. Pretty neat experiment so far. The cigar is definitely mellowing into a creamy sweet wood taste. Absolutely fantastic with a hearty stout.

That move is a classic i must have watched it 6 times so far.

The puro and the pot are officially in the trusted hands of our great US Postal Service. I hope nobody objects but I was so excited over my first win that I threw in a bonus GOF Sencillo. If anyone does object just toss it in the garbage when you get it.

I can't complain, I sent Eville a Panamanian cigar a couple years ago...

I'm still working out the kinks in my super evil revenge scheme. You will rue the day!

[WinstonSpencer]

[Mangyrat]

Smoke: PPPV Puro
Drink: Troegs ~ Perpetual IPA
Tunes: Old Crow Medicine Show ~ Tennesse Pusher
Date Smoked: 8/5/12

Wrapper: Honduran
Binder: Honduran
Filler: Honduran
Draw: Medium to light (great draw)
Burn: Perfect
Misc: Goes about 1 hour

Pre-light: Colorado-maduro shade wrapper. Some darker splotches, medium to large veins. Construction looks decent, but not immaculate. Faint tobacco musty scent. Sweet tobacco on cut prelight taste.

Light: Easy light with a Bic. Medium to light draw.

1st 3rd: Oily, yet smooth sweet ring to it. IPA is a nice compliment. Oil is the dominant flavor. It is tamed, not in your face bitter, but prominently like walnut skin.



Ash: Perfect stack. Tiny black holes in the ash. White to light gray. Holds on for about 7/8”



2nd 3rd: Great draw and burn. Still oil dominant. Earthy notes. Some woodsy notes now. Slow draw, nice and smooth. Take a nice slow draw, and it’s nice and smooth. Pull harder, and you pull that walnut skin oil bitter out. It’s your choice.



3rd 3rd: Same as the 2nd 3rd.



Overall impression: I believe based on the size, look and flavor that this is a Camacho Coyolar ~ Rothschild…a HONDURAN puro.

Thanks Kingbeefy for this inclusion. If I’m right, this is one of my favorites.

the fawking suspense is killing me...

[ashauler]

I've had some things happen around here that are keeping me entirely too busy. I need to drop to the end of the list Gregg if that's ok with you.

Give him one more day to answer "i know what it was you smoked but I'm not saying"

OK let me rearrange the order.

[kingbeefy]

Give me one more day to answer. I don't get many opportunities to build suspense like this. :)

I kid, I kid.

It was actually a Punch Gran Puro, which is Honduran. That means you are victorious.

Great job!

[badwhale]

Cool. Now I'm vexed that I thought it was a Camacho.

I'll dig around the humi tonight and PM Gregg the info for the puts & the puro.
