allright, a sunny Texas afternoon found me outside with cigar #1. This was another torpedo, 6 1/4", about a 50 ring. Natural wrapper, or maybe some variation of rosado, smooth, few veins. Good construction. It had a pleasant tobacco odor to it before lighting. The draw was medium, like I prefer. After lighting, I knew from the first draw this was the better cigar. Tons of flavor from the start and lots of smooth creamy smoke that just got better. It never became harsh or bitter until about the last 1 inch or so. This was definitely the better cigar, and I'm going to guess it was the more expensive one as well. If it's in my price range I'll buy more when I find out what it is.

So, thanks rpcky16 for the cigars and for a great smoke!!

BE nice!!!

c'mon, c'mon now, where's review #2?

can't tell the difference between a swisher sweet and a philly blunt?

Sorry for my tardiness I have been running around and interviewing like crazy for the past couple of days. Don't want to be stuck with a budget that will have me afford only swisher sweets and Philly blunts.

Anyway Review # 2

Straight out of the cello I smelt some chocolate flavors on this stick. Wrapper is a great maduro color with some darker sports all throughout. Construction looks great. Pre light pull was a bit tight. Burn was slow and ash was tight - probably tighter than on # 1. This is definitely a stronger cigar than # 1. I think the Ligero ( or some similar blend ) is used too much in this one. It does have some chocolaty overtones but the stronger tobacco makes other flavors hard to distinguish. Gave me a buzz half way through the thing.

If I had to choose which one was more expensive I would probably say #2, although I enjoyed # 1 more. But then again some people see caviar and say AHHH while others grudge in disgust.

Ok since I took an extra day for this one I will try another task and that is to guess the Brands of the smokes

#1 - Sancho Panza

# 2 either RP or Exodus

I think you just made one cigar maker very happy and another one not quite as happy...

#1 Padron Anniversario (more expensive)
#2 Indian Tabac Super Fuerte

So..... sorry? Nice reviews though.

HUMILITY IS IN THE HOUSE.

By the way I guessed the names strictly by how the cigar looked and what I have encountered or at least I thought I had a picture of in my head. I can say that I have not tried either of these before, but at least my taste buds know what is good

Thanks for the experience Paul !!!!

Now if only Padron Anniversario cost as much as Sancho Panza

Well, after much delay, here are my reviews:

#1: Dark Maduro Wrapper, fairly long (~6") 50ish RG. Nice draw. Slightly tighter than average, but that's how I like 'em. Lit it up and intantly got (What I think ) is that Padron taste. Very nice. Medium-full bodied...not experienced enough to pick out the individual flavors, but I am sure that it is a padron. I am guessing the x000 series, whatever is the torpedo.

#2: Darker Maduro Wrapper. Kind of a unique shaped tip for a torp. Cut it and damn...the draw was not unlike a drinking straw. It was fairly mild which suprised me. I just couldn't get into it due to the loose draw. I have no idea what this one is, but I am going to guess that it is a Thompsons bundled smoke.

Thank Dan for letting me do this
