    Smoked both of these on the deck last night. Had a nice thunderstorm while smoking the 2nd stick.

    So here are the Reviews:

    Review Stick #1

    This was a toro sized cigar, it had very good construction, a bit veiny, and maybe a connecticut wrapper. The cut was really easy, had a very nice draw. Not too tight and not too lose.

    This cigar had a pure white ash to it throughout the whole cigar. It gave off a medium amount of smoke. There was a sorta sweet taste to this cigar, I dont know how else to explain it.

    It had a very good smooth and constant taste to it the entire cigar, down to the nub. It had a great burn the entire time as well.

    I would guess this to be more on the mild maybe, maybe even mild-med.



    Review Stick #2

    This one was a torpedo shaped cigar. It was less veiny than the first. The construction wasnt as good as the first cigar, it looked like it stated to unravel as I cut it. But a quick lick of the finger and run down the side fixed that, and actually stopped it. Also the wrapper extended a bit beyond the filler and binder at the foot.

    Again this cigar had a great burn throughout, my worries about it coming unraveled were quickly put to ease. This one had a smooth "woody" taste to it, and put off a medium amount of smoke as well.

    The flavor stayed consistent throughout the entire cigar as well and turned out to be a very good cigar. And I would guess this to also be closer to the mild end of the spectrum.




    I really enjoyed both these cigars, they each had a smooth wonderful flavor that just tasted great. But Ill have to go with cigar #1 as being the more expensive, based on the construction factor alone, since I cant find anything else to base my decision on btw them.

    Thank you Corvin for letting me review these. Both these cigars were great, and I wouldnt mind smoking either again.
    Yay! Cigars!

    Sorry Miz, the first one was an 898 Collection Robusto, about $3 each, the second was a San Cristobal de la Habana La Punta, according to the Cigar review db over at top25cigar.com they're about $12 a piece, although here in Canada we pay a bit more for them

    Anyway, glad you enjoyed them, the 898 is one of my morning go to smokes. Good reviews too
    Just a stay at home dad (retired until I choose otherwise, thanks Canadian Army medical pension) hanging out and enjoying the good life.

    That was a tough one, both those cigars tasted and smoked great. The San Cristobal had a rougher look to it, and I thought I would have wrapper issues, thus I went with it as being the cheaper one.

    Hmm, think Ill pick up some of those 898s.
    Yay! Cigars!
