Despite my best intentions to let my sticks from Robert rest over the weekend, I couldn't resist and am just now finishing Mystery stick "C". Beautiful, natural wrapper, maybe Sumatra? 5x50 size, perfect draw and lots of smoke. Medium body, fairly short to medium finish with a little pepper and maybe some cedar, toasty flavor. I would guess Dominican, maybe some Nicaraguan but not a puro. Maybe Aurora 1495 or a RP Renaissance?
Good day for smoking here, so I also got to Mystery Stick "B" today. Connecticut shade torpedo, reminded me of a 5 Vegas, but was a little stronger than a Gold. Not sure what else it might be unless it just needed some more rest time. Good flavor, but didn't change much and didn't have any discernible flavors that I could pick out (I'm bad at that anyway). I guess I'll have to guess 5 Vegas or something I'm completely unfamiliar with. Good smoke, though.
Mystery stick "A". Not what I expected at all. Pre-light smell made me think it might be pretty strong, but it was mild throughout. Great looking maduro wrapper, pretty sweet; maybe a little cocoa flavor. I can't guess the brand as it's milder than any maduro I've had in a very long time. I don't think it was a Mac, but it was about the strength I would expect from one. Good construction, couple of minor touchups but nothing major. Can't wait to find out exactly what all three were.
You had some pretty good guesses Bryan, here's the answer to the mystery sticks, Cigar A: Indian Tabac Cigar Co. Maduro, Cigar B: Gurkah Park Ave. and Cigar C was an Alec Bradley Overture. Thanks for playing!
Hopefully the next two will fare better than the first. Let em sit as long as you want to...I'd rather you have good smokes than hurrying through only to be disappointed.
Got my pack today Tumbler, thanks. I'll try and get some reviews and guesses posted soon. I'll post them all at once so you don't have to sift through different posts.
They all arrived in good shape, though the humi pack did burst on me...luckily they were all in cello so the cigars were not affected. I think I know what cigar "A" is already...I'll be going through one, if not both, of the others today.
