... a poor review on a stick i was gonna buy a few of... a never(now rarely) turn down a cammy... this helped me avoid this stick .. i may look for a single for cheap to try on my own.... thanks for the review
They are relatively inexpensive sticks. I'd try one out, you may like it. I love the maduro Serie Gs.
I really enjoy the G in Maduro, but not so much in Cameroon. And the O is the exact opposite, I enjoy the natural wrapper, but not so much on the Maduro version.
I got an idea from the Black Band Project. This game would work like PIF but you send someone 3 cigars, without bands, marked A, B and C. The recieving person smokes them and reviews them, trying to guess what they are. After all 3 are smoked and reviewed the sender posts what A, B and C were. That way we rely completley on our palate(which this is a good opportunity to develop) and no brand hype. This way a "highly rated" cigar can be called a bag of ass or a cheap stick an awesome smoke. Only kicker is the recieving person would have to be willing to smoke all 3 within a few days of reciept, humidified shipping would be appreciated. Whats everyone think? If i get a few people interested i'll start things off on Saturday? Good idea?
So, Oz grabbed this up, and i've already gotten the sticks to him. Up to him now!
Hays Doesn't Mess around! He and I had already planned on meeting at the Local B&M today to meet and have a Cigar, I wasn't prepared for what I was about to get! He brought me three A,B,C, Cigars to smoke and review plus a 3 pack of Cigars i haven't yet had...... What a Guy! LOL

Thanks ( I think) Hays! LOL

I got a deep root cleaning,, Numbed my whole face two seperate times, now going for a crown and a filling in 2 weeks that really screws up your cigar smoking! LOL

Alright Guys, I'm new to the Game and Blessed to Be in the Neighborhood that Hays Lives in. He and I got together At the Very Cool B&M in our Area and had a Smoke and Got a Lesson from an old timer and enjoyed an afternoon In the Cigar Lounge. When I arrived he informed me that i was next in the Mystery Stick Game for my Post and he handed me a Nice Package with 3 Mystery Sticks and some other goodies ! Great Stuff, being a Novice and Not really trying hundreds of different brands and styles i am not sure what I can Bring to the Game, But Ill try.
Ok Cigar A
Opening the Wrapper I find a well constructed Rubusto Cigar with What I would consider a Connecticut Wrapper nice viens and a well wrapped Cap. Kind of a leathery Mild taste to the Tongue. a Nice Cut on the cap to start, It lit well, and I was off the first blast was a surprise of Pepper and woodiness..... I thought OH HELL this is going to be a KILLER....... the first inch or so was spicy and flavorful and i noticed a quick mellowing and the Draw was very tight but the burn was good with good thick rich smoke.
As i continued on the stick It mellowed considerably and was a very pleasant mild smoke , if only the draw were a bit looser. I kicked back and enjoyed this stick while chatting back and fourth with some other BOTL on our Blackberry Chat room.........before I knew it I was Playing taps and the This Smoke was over......... I think I have had one of trhese before and I would more than Likely Have a few for everyday type Smokes. I am going to guess that this stick was a Don Diego Robusto.
On to Cigar B
Ill be off to Monterey Bay for the weekend and i will try and test another one the first of the week when I can Sit down and enjoy it !
Have a Great Weekend Guys!
Alrighty fine... It's a CAO Gold robusto! I knew you'd read my reviews of my own mystery sticks, that's why I said it was a gimme! Lol good effort though

I was just about to make my second guess and it would have been wrong also......Then I saw you told.. CAO Gold Rubsuto... Seems i was closer than I thought! LOL Thanks Has On to Round 2 this weekend!
Ok Guys this is My second Review on the Mystery Stick Game. This is Cigar B that I received from Our BOTL Hays,
This cigar had no Cello Wrapper, just a band that had a B on it. This cigar feels like a piece of Rebar its so Heavy..... Great Dark Rich Color well constructed really a Great Looking Cigar with a Well wrapped Cap. The foot is Tight and clean. a couple of light tastes of the wrapper before i began the light told me thius was going to be a Spice Bomb... hints of Spice , pepper and cedar and this was an early morning Cigar for me..... UH OH! LOL
I rolled the foot around the Torch for a nice even light then hit it with some flame and we are off ........ the first draw was excellent and hit the tongue and the back of my through Like a Hot wing at Hooters! the first 1/4 of this stick was developing a wide range of flavors to me, cedar and some pepper but the leather and wood was taking over with just hints of the cedar at the 1/2 way point nice ash , but the stick seemed a bit dry..... then the flavors and the smoke began to roll and I AM LOVING THIS CIGAR! The Draw stayed consistent no touch ups needed, and i found the final third of this cigar just about as good as it gets for me .. at least early in the morning with a great cup of Sumatra..... I want more... then its over. The aroma was awesome and the after taste was really telling me to remember this one! Not being a Cigar aficionado, I know what I like and what is good to me..... This is a Good one for my undeveloped Pallet.......... with little experience My guess for this Mystery Stick was at First a 5 Vegas A, But im thinking more the 5 Vegas Miami, Rubusto.... weather I am Right or Not I am Honored to be part of this exciting Game and I will be putting this cigar on my Favs so far!
On to Mystery Stick C might be a few days for it, Happy Smoking Guys
Very nicely reviewed Oz! Just another fine example of how different palates can interpret something vastly differently. What you smoked was a Padilla Habano robusto, a stick I'm not particularly fond of, but that many others like. Glad to see that you enjoyed it brotha!

Loves this cigar. A.J. Fernandez is a genius - and this stick also can be found at insane prices. I think Jeff from ccom hooked me up with a few for around $2 a piece.

I smoked this stick last night for the first time and I loved it. I have one more and will let it rest for now. Good review Oz it was pretty spot on for the one that I smoked last night.

Well thank you for the kind words.... not much on guessing brands but I am learning Flavors! Loved this CIgar myself! If they would go in the dailey deal im all over it!
Daily deal? pff. The DD is for the guys who don't call in their orders. Or to remind me of sticks I am running low on, lol. Get to know your ccom reps over the phone and ask them to work some magic for you. Lookin forward to cigar C review!
