i know it's still the holidays, but I'm still looking for a mystery mooch!
-
I'll be your mooch...... I've never played before and don't have much of a palate, but I'm willing to give it a go....... PM sent.
-
Ok. That's great. I'm glad we're keeping this game alive. PM Sentlilwing88:I'll be your mooch...... I've never played before and don't have much of a palate, but I'm willing to give it a go....... PM sent. -
Anyone wanna be my mooch and keep this thing going?
-
Jdorais, sorry bro......... My first guess for stick "A" was El Legendario by Comacho. But I guess I'm wrong. Do I keep guessing till I get it? I was also thinking RP Edge..... Still wrong?
-
You don't have to keep guessing....just 1 is enough. So cigar A was an Idian Tabac Maduro TeePee. What did you think of it?lilwing88:Jdorais, sorry bro.........

Well, it was up there with the Edge and Comacho in terms of strength. I enjoyed it, thoroughly. It was peppery at first, but mellowed out and was smooth and leathery to the finish. Great smoke. I'll be adding it to my repertoire.Jdorais:

My guess for stick "B" is Oliva Serie O Maduro......... (drumroll please)
-
Good guess, but no. How about a Montecristo Media Noche.lilwing88:My guess for stick "B" is Oliva Serie O Maduro......... (drumroll please) -
Ooooooo. It was a good one. Very buttery and smooth. 0 for 2, damn. Maybe I'll get lucky on stick "C"..........
-
My last guess for stick "C" is RP Double Maduro.Jdorais:

Nope. Cigar C was a La Herencia Oscuro Toro. Pretty tasty huh?lilwing88:

Very tasty, ineed. It was the best one of all. And only $60 for twenty...... that TOO is quite tasty. Thanks for the awesome smokes and for letting me play. I really enjoyed all three and learned alot about my palette and my preferences.Jdorais:

Hello? ...... anybody?............. Bueller?....... Who wants to play?
-
Ok..upon urging from a certain friend, I'll bite. I haven't looked through the rules recently, but I guess I'll pm you my address...?
-
Cool. PM me your addy. Also, tell me what you're into (what cigars, that is). I'll try to send some that you'll enjoy while you guess.
As far as the rules go, I just browsed the beggining posts to get the gist. Simply put, I send you 3 unlabeled sticks that I mark A,B, and C. You smoke 'em and guess what they are on this thread and I tell you if you're right or wrong. Then when you're done, ask someone else to play next. Cool? -
Ok, so just checking in. I've got these sticks, as I mentioned in PM. I'm gonna try and get into em as soon as possible, but we've had some ridiculous weather lately so smoking on the patio is no dice..
-
Cool. Let me know when you try the first one. Also, when you make your guess, describe the size of the cigar as best you can. I wrote down the cigars but didn't note the size, so I just wanna make sure I'm telling you the right one......
-
sounds interesting, and a way to get the palate rolling.

So, I just got through Cigar A, and I decided it was a good opportunity to write my first review, unbiased by brand or outside opinions...
Mystery Cigar A
Pre-light:
Nice box-pressed robusto. Wrapper, milk chocolate in color, in mostly good condition, but cracked at the foot. Aroma is a little bit of hay, mostly a rich tone reminiscent of good chocolate. A lick of the cap gives a slight sweetness, increasing the sensation of rich chocolate. Draw seems loose, and has some hay to it, little bit of spice on the lips.
Light:
The cracked foot led to some lighting difficulties, but I finally got a solid light. Initial draw was rather disappointing, considering the great pre-light; no major flavors, just a little punch at the mouth and some spice on the finish.
1st Third:
Getting into the first third, and things are looking up a little. Solid draw with a little bit of resistance – just how I like it. Burn has been pretty sharp, typical of box-pressed cigars in my experience. Still no major flavors coming through, even with blowing through the nose. I can only recall maybe two sticks that have impressed me in the first third, however, so I'm not counting this stick out yet.
2nd Third:
The second third has brought back the hay, and an actual chewy consistency to the smoke – it is a rather unique experience for me, but not something I would consider good or bad. I have noticed that this stick requires rather frequent puffing to stay fully lit – every 30 seconds or so - but that may be put down to the cold temperature in which I'm enjoying it. The body seems to be finally showing up here in the 2nd, and so far I would peg this as a medium stick. Coming to the end of the 2nd third, this has really plugged up, and I'm not sure if I'll be able to get through the rest.
Final Third:
With some work, and relight, I managed to get it going again. Going through this third, I am still unimpressed by this stick. The only thing I would say is that it definitely has some body, but I would still call it at a medium. At this point, I am merely smoking it to give it a fair shake. With more than an inch left, this stick is now in the ashtray.
Conclusion:
I was glad for the learning experience of this stick, and the opportunity to review it unbiased, but that is all the value I put on this. My ratings, as I have thought of them to myself on every stick, consist of a 4 point system:
1: Never smoke again
2: Would smoke again as a second try, if someone gave me one.
3: Would buy to smoke again.
4: Would buy in bulk.
I am tempted to consider this stick a 1, but because I will very rarely count a stick out on the first try, I give it a hesitant 2.
As far as a guess, I will say 5 Vegas Series A robusto...for no other reason than complete randomness.

YOUR HIRED ! WHAT A FREAKING BREAKDOWN ON THIS STICK...... JUST FROM WHAT YOU DESCRIBED IMORE THAN LIKLEY WOULD PASS ON GIVING IT A TRY OR LETTING IT REST FOR A WHILE......... I Hope it is not a 5 Vegas Stick ive liked the ones I have had so Far! Well Done Hays!Hays:So, I just got through Cigar A, and I decided it was a good opportunity to write my first review, unbiased by brand or outside opinions...

LOL thanks for the input Oz. I don't really think it IS a 5 Vegas stick, because I too have loved every one I've tried; I just picked a random box-pressed stick because I have nothing else. I'm quite eager to find out what it was though.Redtailhawkoz:YOUR HIRED ! WHAT A FREAKING BREAKDOWN ON THIS STICK......

5 Vegas does make the Series A in a box-pressed, but that's a limited release, not typically sold that way. Surprised you guessed that one, lol. Man I love the Series A, I really hope it wasn't the A that you smoked.
-
Just wanted to jump in here. I know they also make the box-pressed gold & classic. I really liked the gold & classic in robo. but didn't care much for box pressed. Which is strange because I really like box pressed cigars. At any rate I didn't like them so don't be discouraged if it is Ozzie they are usually great go to inexpensive cigars.TatuajeVI:5 Vegas does make the Series A in a box-pressed, but that's a limited release, not typically sold that way.

Wow. I wasn't expecting such a thorough review. Pretty impressive. Too bad you didn't enjoy this one. It's usually one of my favorites. Oh well, at least you're willing to give it another try.Hays:So, I just got through Cigar A, and I decided it was a good opportunity to write my first review, unbiased by brand or outside opinions...
