Aaaalrighty Gentlemen -

The sticks have been resting in their temporary homes now and tonight is perfect for a (couple) smokes. I see that DVM is trying to be tricky... similar looking sticks, #1 slightly longer than #2.

Cigar #1
Pre lighting observation: Beautiful maduro wrapper - slightly oily. Excellent construction, no major veins. Smelled wonderful, if not slightly spicy.

Foot has been lit... wrapper tastes... sweet? Very even burn throughout the stick. Stick started slightly spicy but went into a nice "even" mode. Went out a couple times at the 1/2 way mark.

Cigar #2

Pre lighting observation: nice wrapper, one vein spotted. Not as dark of a wrapper, but excellent construction. Can it be... a tri-cap? Smelled wonderful - no spice.

Smoking it - nice mild, smooth smoke. Good draw. At about an inch, the burn went uneven, corrected it, smoked it to about 3 inches.

So here's the dilemma... completely different smokes.

Just for personal enjoyment between the two - I'd have to say #2 was the more expensive smoke.

Good call mauied.

#1 was a La Corona Perfecto X Oscuro, about $3 each. A good cigar, especially for that price.

#2 was a Diamond Crown Maximus Toro #4, about $12 each.

Thank you thank you... humility has officially left the building... (just kidding)

I've rarely seen tri-caps on non-ISOM sticks. Thank you for sending them my way!

Ok Paul you are pretty tricky. Both cigars are the same length. Both Maduro and both square shaped.

Initial thoughts Cigar #1 looks better, but I like how #2 smells prelight more.

#1 Wrapper is Maduro very nice and smoth to the touch with imbedded slightly visible grains. Very nice smoke: nice tight ash, full flavored yet smooth with lots of creamy smoke. I tasted spices at first then half way through got more leather and nutty tastes with just a bit of coffee towards the end. An awesome 1 and half hour of smoking pleasure

Will post review on #2 tom eve.
