Cigar: No idea
Beverage: Water
This cigar is a natural shade robusto size with very fine veins, a slightly squared off shape, and what appears to be a quadruple cap and is nice and firm throughout. At first I thought ISOM, but the quad cap ruled that out. Pre-light draw is sweet, like straw. First puffs reveal what I would classify as leather and plenty of spice that lingers on the finish. So far soooo good. After the first little bit it calmed down some and developed a bit of a buttery finish, not quite as spicy anymore. Ash color is a very light gray. Second third is becoming more mild again and slightly bitter finish. Last third is nice and toasty, reminiscent of a Dominican puro. So Now that it's gone, I've narrowed it down to a few possibilities. I am almost certain that it's either Dominican, Nicaraguan, Honduran, Mexican, Ecuadorian, or Cuban. I'm leaning more towards Nicaraguan or Honduran. As always, I'm going to listen to the spice and say....
NICARAGUAN! Bring on the tag!
Edit: I forgot to add, I very much enjoyed this cigar, so even when I lose, thanks Beefy for a great afternoon smoke!
Loser tag comin'!!!
That was a Don Carlos Aniversario 2008. It's a Dominican puro. Glad you enjoyed it. Those are great cigars imo.
Where is yours, sizzlepants???

I haven't been at an actual computer long enough, been nearly all mobile today.
I was thinking it reminded me of a spicy Opus, but that spice really threw me off the Dominican trail. I'll get my puts in the box and send it on tomorrow if Jamie is ready.\
Edit: puts:
JdN Antano Dark Corojo Double Fuerte
Cohiba (DR)
Vegas Robaina Famoso

I'm ready.
On their way.
They just landed on my desk. I'll get the puro smoked in the next few days, if I'm not too busy dodging flood waters and tornados. I've given up trying to avoid the hail / high-winds / thunderstorms.

I made it to Kuwait and internet is kind of sporadic out here. If I'm not around when you guess, Will has the answer. Good luck!
I think I have everything updated in this thread (finally)

Smoked the naked puro yesterday evening watching it rain from the deck. Robusto sized, medium brown natural wrapper, smooth with little veining. Not much from the cold draw.
Burn was good. Flavor was nice tobacco, somewhat spicy in the first half, settled down a bit in the last. Overall it was a smooth and relaxing smoke. Maybe Cuban, but, may also be Dominican or even Argentinian.......hmmmmm, I'm gonna go with Cuban. Please send my loser tag asap.
I'll post my puts tomorrow and fire it off when Michael is ready.
Well, I'll be damned.
Proposed Puts:
LFD dbl Ligero lancero
Oliva MBIII Robusto
Anejo' Shark
Let me know if these are suitable, shoot me an addy via PM, and this will be in the air in the a.m.
I'm glad I wasn't around to deliver the unfortunately good news. Well done!
Cleared for takeoff. Thanks!
