Those Greycliff's are WAY over priced... Not a bad smoke, but not worth the money they charge for them....

Good setup up, Maze!!!

Mystery Cigars from Shagaroo....

Cigar #1

This cigar had a nice, dark wrapper with one really big vein running the length of the cigar. The wrapper was a little crumbly and was constantly flaking off in several locations on the cigar. The draw on this cigar was quite tight, which is not to my liking, and the flavor was light and not quite to my liking... It reminded me of wet leather or something.

Cigar #2

This cigar was a little lighter, without any major veins. The construction was great, no flaking or crumbling. The draw was much looser, much more to my liking. The smoke had a good flavor to it, with just a hint of spice, and the smoke was copious. It's not the best cigar I've ever smoked, but it was very nice. I'm going to go out on limb and guess it might be a Romeo y Julietta.

How did I do?
(Now I'm starting to second guess the order in which I smoked them)

Wet leather.

Cigar #1 was Saint Luis Rey Reserva Especial Toro. Cheap stick. The Belicoso is a nicer stick but they are still hit and miss and I keep these for yard gars or folks that think swishers are real cigars.

Opus X Perfecxion X. This has been sitting in my humidor since December of last year. Glad to hear it aged well.

I'm just lighting up #1 from Superchuck as I type this...it has the nicer wrapper of the two, smooth and well applied with only minor veininess. The wrapper is chipped in one spot and flaking a little there, but nothing to make it unsmokable. My pre-light draw was fairly mild, but not unpleasant. I'll update this when I'm done. Or maybe as I go, we'll see.

1st edit: It's got a firm draw, but not enough to make it difficult. It actually kinda helps slow me down, as I tend to smoke pretty fast. Ash made it to a little over an inch before it fell. First impression of taste is that it's fairly mild but I can't really describe it yet. I've never been able to taste leather in a cigar, though a couple have given me noticable hints of coconut. Is that weird? Anyway, I'll try not to update till I get a ways into the smoke, as this post could get pretty freaking big the way I ramble.

#2: Not even a third in. I'm very impressed with how well I am taking my time. Anyway, It's picking up in strength as I go. Still not major but it might be mild-medium now. I kinda hope it levels out. I like a good strong cigar, but I usually don't smoke this early in the day. I'm actually getting a hint of that coconut thing I was talking about. It seems fairly common for me so I'm thinking there is just something about cigar smoke that strikes my effed up brain as coconutty. It doesn;t reallly taste like coconut, but the taste reminds me of coconut. If that makes any sense at all.
