That Brazillia is really tasty. One of the first times I did the mystery stick game someone sent me one of those and I also guessed MoW Ruination. Both are pretty fabulous and really pack a punch!

sorry to hear about stick B =/ hope that was just bad luck Stick A is one of my faves it was a Don Pepin Tabacos Baez, Stick B was a CAO Gold with couple months rest so I'm really sad to hear that happened hopefully nothing bad will happen with C as that is another one I like quite a bit.

Wow, I was way off! I was actually thinking stick A might be a DPG, but it didn't seem to have the core Pepin essence that I've noticed in his other blends I've tried. I've had some CAO gold 2002's before out of the aging room at Ccom, but they were nothing like stick B. It was an interesting smoke, probably coulda used more rest to stabilize after being shipped.
Ok, so I smoked stick C today. This one was also a robusto, but a 5.5" one. I punched it the same as the first 2 sticks, good draw. My first impressions of this stick was a bit of spice and pepper and a little nutty. 10 minutes or so in the spice picked up a little and a mildly sweet nutty flavor came in. after 20 minutes or so the spice mellowed and the rest of the stick was a nice cedary, slightly sweet nutty tobacco flavor. I don't think I've had this one before, but it was pretty enjoyable and had no construction issues. To guess what it is I could narrow it down a bit due to it's size. I'm thinking it might be a Bahia Trinidad. Thanks for the palate exercise Spencer, it was fun and in a while I hope to get in on this game again!

Yea Stick C is another one I need to get more of tho it wasn't the Bahia Trinidad even tho it is a good stick, it was the A. Fernandez Signature series I do like this game and will most likely revisit it again. Thanks for playing man!
I'm really bad at identifying stick. Especially since many big brands I've never tried, Or else I'd be all over this oppurtunity :-P
I'm no good at it yet either, but it's fun to try! I found it to be an interesting exercise for my pallet and hope to do it again before too long, if someone will take the sticks I'm trying to pass anyway... If you change your mind shoot me a PM and I'll hook it up!
