Cigar #1:

Lighter wrapper. Robusto size I think Seemed lighter than #2. Clipped it and lit it up. Loose draw, lots of smoke. Very mild cigar. Extremely nice burn. Very even. Not really my kind of cigar. I like a more full-bodied cigar. I found it boring. I toughed it out and near then end it got a little spicier, but nothing to write home about. Decent smoke, but definately not on my daily list.

Cigar #2:

Darker shade wrapper. Robusto size as well. Definately heavier than than #1. Lit it up and from the first puff, knew I was going to enjoy the 'gar. I found it to be a complex cigar. Tight draw off the bat, almost ISOM tight, but it loosened up after the first inch or so. Hard to pinpoint just one flavor. I enjoyed it. Not as nicely burning as #1, but it still required no touch-ups. It was definately strong enough for my tastes. I would smoke it again for sure.

Thanks slc for sending me the smokes.

I really don't have much to base my guesses from, but I will give it a shot.

#1-5 vegas gold?
#2-Graycliff blue label? (Obviously the more expensive one)

Let me know.

edit to add draw.

Good work, Drew and thanks for playing. Nice, direct reviews as well. Yes, Cigar #2 was the more expensive of the two.

#1= Cusano 18 Yr.
#2= RyJ Anniversario (Twice as much as the Cusano, but half as much as the Graycliff that you guessed it was).

The second one really reminded me of a ISOM RyJ right off the bat just based on the draw, but then I was really thinking it was a graycliff. Thanks for providing the smokes. My end has been sent, the next review should take place in a week or 2.

Cigar #1 - From Pyrofish

Well I finally got around to smoking the first cigar that I got from Pyro. It has made a long journey from Canada to Maine and finally New Orleans. It’s trip taking about four weeks to get to New Orleans from Maine due to my favorite girl Katrina. Mail takes at best two weeks longer to get to New Orleans still. I let them rest in my humidor between 58% and 62% for about a month due to their long time in the mail. Cigar #1 was about six and a half inches long and about a 50 ring. It had a nice brown rapper and was well constructed. It had a good draw and burned a little uneven for the first inch then evened out and burned perfectly for the rest. The ash held for about an inch. It was in my opinion a medium strength cigar that had a consistent woody flavor. Over all I think that it was a decent cigar nothing special I would give it a six out of ten. I will add the second cigar review tomorrow.

Cigar #2 - From Pyrofish

The second cigar was about five inches long and about a 40 ring gauge. I would guess that it was a corona of some sort. The wrapper was a light brown almost tan. The construction of this cigar was not as good as the first. The cigar was a little soft. The draw on the cigar was good and that was about the only thing that I liked about this thing. The flavor was not good at all in my opinion. I would give this cigar a two out of ten.

I would like to thank Pyro for resending the cigars and for the opportunity to rate the cigars. I can not wait to find out what the cigars were.

Thanks

Randall
