As I continue to smoke, this is a very tasty smoke and I’m enjoying it soooo much it’s hard to write anything while smoking it but I’ll try.
"¼ way through cigar, and the taste is great, reminds me of a Cuban that I’ve had in the past. This so far is one of those enjoyable smokes that you take your time with…relax, sit back, and enjoy".
"I little past ¼ of the way in this smoke and the ash is still on the cigar!. That tells me it’s a well constructed smoke. Enjoying this very much, describing the taste with wood, nuts, and other flavors is currently out of my league. However, I just think if I had a woman with me…this would be perfect!"

Alright, here is a review for mystery stick #1. I will try to get something posted for #2 in the next day or two. Both cigars are of a Robusto size with natural wrappers. Smoke #1 is slightly darker than #2.
Pre-smoke Impression: The wrapper was slightly oily with some noticeable vein texture. The scent is earthy, reminding me of a few ISOMs I have had- Punch and H. Upmann come to mind. It is very firm with very little give.
The smoke: The first few puffs were pleasantly mild and I did not taste any distinct flavor. 1/3 of the way in, it took on an entirely new character with a more harsh and bitter flavor. Not in a bad way by any means… …peppery, is the best way I can describe it. The aroma on this cigar is very strong, my wife commented. This flavor continued all the way through (mellowing a bit though) to the 1 ½ inch mark when I let it die. Both the draw and the burn were very nice. I enjoyed this cigar with zero complaints. It would pair nicely with a good Ale or Stout, or even better, the hybrid of the two- Black and Tan.

As promised, here is my take on mystery cigar #2-
Pre-smoke Impression: This was the lighter leafed smoke. The wrapper was thin and smooth with very small veins. The aroma was of tobacco, and nothing really else.
The smoke: Initially mild and creamy, but like the first smoke, it became stronger as I continued. I would say this is medium in body. The smoke also finished on a smooth and creamy note. The closest similarity I can make in comparison, is to some of the Cusano line I have tried and the Baccarat Vintage Casino. The draw was wonderful. Burn was slightly off ½ of the way down, but nothing major. Ash was medium gray and a tad flakey, falling off at the 1 inch mark. I enjoyed this cigar as well.
I am probably wrong on this, as some others have discovered in this thread… …but I venture to guess that smoke #1 is the more expensive of the two?
Lopaka,
Thanks for sharing these. Now, what are the results/identities???

Ahh the detective is correct.
Cigar #1 was a La Aurora Robusto
Cigar #2 was a Baccarat Rothchild
I am getting ready to go out and smoke these one after another. I will give my review at about 11:00pm my time.
