Cigar #2 was a little bit shorter with a smaller ring gauge. It was a lighter leaf also. The roll job was a bit better, as well as the firmness. After I cut it with my xikar you could see how well it was compacted and rolled. The pre light aroma was a bit mild but the smoke was very creamy after I sparked it. It had a perfect ash that lasted for an inch or so. Nice even burn. I smoked this one down to just about a nub. A little bit mild for my taste, but plenty of flavor! I'd say this was the nicer of the two.

JJ Westbrook! Thank you for the two cigars, both of which I enjoyed. Now, whats the verdict?
