It's on. Doing this tonight.
No Pix, sorry. Abridged review:
Prelight: Corona size, Colorado shade wrapper. Very nice construction and wrapper. Slight leathery barnyard scent, and light leather and tobacco on cut prelight draw.
Light: Easy with mah Bic. Medium draw.
1st - Oily and a little spicy (which later dissapates.) Nice tobacco sweetness. Very rich and smooth. Right now with the oil, slight bitter it is reminding me of a Dominican, however it also slightly reminds me of a cain daytona, which I recently ran out of.
Ash: Light gray and flakey. I accidentally knocked it off, so no measure.
2nd - Great burn. More kinda underlying oily bitter (not overpowering) and mix of sweet tobacco. I am enjoying this hump day cigar with some Founders Centennial IPA. Celebrating a victory over our dog's stinkiness with a successful bath. No fleas sighted, and fluffy dog who once again was relieved to find out I wasn't trying to drown her. Anyway, back to cigar: same tone, really rich. Medium body, and full flavor. I like it.
3rd - I am a little torn between Dominican / Nicaraguan, but it just isn't as toothy as I'd think for a Nic. The oily / sweet combo leads me to Dominican. Maybe mizikie is laughing now that I missed Hondo, but I'm typing this edgeman style. Regarless of my guess, this is fun, and I'm enjoying the hell outta this one. Little draws are giving me some woodsy notes, but still get some oily dryness / bitter to it tempered by sweet tobacco. Wifey just trotted down here, and asked me what I thought. I told her, and she wafted some second hand, and said "Equadorian" and, well, there's that. Anyway keeping on with this, I'm getting the same notes as before.
Overall: Delicious un-banded unknown puro. Thank you mizikie!!!!
My guess: Dominican Puro
The powers that be might take it all away
