Good review Dan, I 'll let you know what it was after the second review.

Here is what you smoked: Stick 1 is a Padron 1964 and Stick 2 is a RP1992.

Cigars # 2

Also a toro sized cigar. This one had a beautifull brown wrapper ( perhaps corojo ) that was oily with almost indistinguishable veins. The aroma was exceptionally pleasant and i knew I would enjoy this one.

Cut it and lit it up quite easilly. The draw was perfect and I got hit with a taste of spices. The spice was not overwhelming like some cigars have but rather just enough and smoth as well. So every puff begged for another. Burn was perfect with tight ash.

There were also some cedary notes and someting else I can't quite put my finger on.

Overall an awesome experience

I loved both cigars and would love to have both in my regular rotation if the price is right.

If IU had topickbetween the 2 as far as price I would say that #2 is more expensive.

Well can't wait to find out what they are !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

O.K., Now I officially feel stupid. Maybe the chilly(shitty) weather had something to do with it. Is it possible the Brazilias and Antanos have fried my taste buds? At least I picked which one was more expensive. That was my first Padron '64. I have another '64 and a R.P. Vintage '92 in the humi. I will have to have a do-over under more suitable conditions.

Sorry Paul, thanks for the wonderful smokes though.

Cigar #1

A beautifull toro the color of dark chocolate. The cap looked a bit rough. The smell was ok but not spectacular. Construction looked qute good.

The cut was almost effortless and the wrapper stayed perfectly intact. Pre light draw was a bit tight but no signs of the cigar being plugged.

It took nicelly to the light and a pleasant aroma hit my nostrils. Started out with very smooth and creamy smoke full of chocolaty notes and some leathery undertones. This continued for about half of the stick and the rest was just as pleasant with a little spice showing up every once in a while. All throughout not even a note of harshness

Burn was also perfect with tight greyish white ash. The flavor started to disappear with about an inch or so left and I decided to let this one go out before my enjoyment would pass.

Overall a very nice experience and I think this was a 5 Vegas Serie A. At least I had a very similar experience with the last serie A that I had.

Review on # 2 to follow shortly ( hopefully sometime tom )

Cigar #1 was a Gurkha Master Select Maduro. I paid $10 each for a couple of these at a local B&M a while back. They can be had for much less online.

Cigar #2 was a Cubita SMS. I got a bundle of 20 of these from cbid for $30. A helluva deal imho.

Unlike my latest attempt, those were great reviews Dan. I would definately agree with you.

Ok now I feel really stupid

At least now I can pick up a Cubita SMS and make it my daily go to smoke for $30 a bundle

Hey St JOhn did you get a chance to smoke the sticks I sent you

[stjohnroe]

Dan, hell of a busy at the moment, but this is at the top of my todo list. If the weather is reasonable tomorrow I plan on going for a long walk with the dogs and smokin one of the monsters that you sent. Review soon.

Cheers

don't worry about it - I got 'em backwards too. It still blows me away that slsraiders nailed his - not one, but both, not only which was more expensive, but named the fucking sticks! sheesh.

Pure luck. This was my third go round. On the first review pass, I managed to identify one of the cigars and which was more expensive. Round two, no recognition of the smokes and I think I got the more expensive part wrong as well. I amazed even myself with that last one. Maybe it was just those two cigars. I have smoked several of each and the hunch came so easily as I was smoking them. Bizarre, nonetheless. I say this because I could smoke the same type of cigar from the same box just at different times or with different surroundings and they can taste quite a bit different???

I think I will not do this pass going forward. I want to retire on top of my game...
