You got it!

#1 was a Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve corojo, which cost about twelve bucks.
#2 was a Hoyo de Monterrey Governors, which cost $4.50.

Hope you enjoyed `em.

Finally got around to smoking these things! I lost track of the numbers, but one was incrediblly box pressed and was completely square, and the other was a regular box press.

Not too much to say about either of these, except that they were both great. Cant wait to find out which is which, because which ever one is the cheaper one i'd buy in a heartbeat!

Cigar 1 - Square Maduro Torpedo

Had this one out after a great meal and great live music. Cut perfectly, had two reasonably different fillers (one dark and one medium) and had a great pre/post light draw. To my suprise, the squareness of the cigar fit comfortably in my mouth despite the 'sharp' edges. No special undertones that I caught, just a nice strong cigar with relativly thick smoke. Smoked all the way through with no burn problems or wrapper malfunctions.

Cigar 2 - Boxed pressed maduro

Smoked this one last night with JFellows. Again, perfect cut and pre/post light draw. Had a very nice oily wrapper, and the edges around the cigar fit perfectly in my hand. Thick, blueish smoke; and a lot of it! Also had a nice slow burn, smoked it for nearly two hours. Great flavor throughout, if anything I'd say mocha, but again just had a great madruro tobacco taste.

I enjoyed the hell out of both of these, but I'm going to guess that Cigar 2 (the non torpedo) is the more expensive one. Thanks very much for the great cigars! Cant wait to find out what they are.

so howd i do?

Helloooo? (ello? ello? llo? lo? o?)

Cigar #1 Oliva Serie G Maduro.....about $7
Cigar #2 Sancho Panza Double Maduro.......about $3

These are my B/M prices, so both can be had less expensively by the box on-line. Some sizes of the SP can be had for as little as $35-$40 a box.

Both of these have regular places in my rotation. Glad you liked them both.

Finished the second cigar today, now time for the reveiw
I'm not that good at describing the tastes of cigars compared to flavors but I'll try as best as I can.

Cigar #1- Torpedo

Smoked this with the man that gave it to me, Lukeman. A very good smoke, easy draw from begining to end. burn was good with a little run that fixed itself out. The taste had a light nuttiness, and smoked ceder. The ash was also decent, very sturdy, only ashed twice. Definately will buy this cigar again. Very smooth.

Cigar #2

This cigar had a wrapper issue that was the result of the band begin taken off, but didn't effect the smoking. Good cut, good light and good first draw. The draw was very easy and produced a lot of smoke, like cotton balls. Had a slight spiciness with a soft/mellow undertone. A good cigar overall.

Prediction: Cigar #1 was the more expensive of the two, definately a winner.

Good Call, 1 was a Bucanero Salsa - about 8 bucks. 2 was Vegas de fonseca, about 4.25
