    Nice review, and solid choice for a guess. You were smoking a 5 Vegas Series A. Had about a year in the humidor, so I'm glad you didn't get any harshness with that one. Sorry it was a bit boring.

    That's funny, because that was the other guess that was in my head, but the wrapper looked so much like a 1666 that it convinced me. Boring or not, it was a good smoke nonetheless so thanks again.

    So this is basically the only pass going on here that I am not a part of... how can I get into the Mystery Stick loop... I'm sure I'll provide some laughs with my lack of cigar savvy...

    It's a solid maduro - much more consistent (in my humble opinion) than the 1666. Excited to see what you think of Stick B. It's not anywhere near as expensive or high-class as the "Original Cuban."

    For sure. I think the 1666 is the Daewoo of cigars. As for Stick B...it doesn't get classier than an "Original Cuban." FYI, I donated the rest of those sticks to the troops.

    You're right on the Habano wrapper! That one was the A Fernandez signature. It's had close to a year in the humidor - good smoke!

    Rats, at least I got the wrapper right. And you are correct, it was a good smoke. I have two of the A. Fernandez Sumatra Hybrids chilling in my humi right now. Going to have to revisit to see how it compares to the Habano.

    Sumatra Hybrid? never heard of it. I wish I would have bought some of the maduros when they were available - I hear they are pretty awesome.

    Yea, Tim hooked me up with a few. The wrapper is a Habano/Sumatra hybrid. It didn't taste too good OTT but they've had a couple of months rest now so I shall revisit them soon. I am also bummed I missed out on the maduros. Hopefully they make some more soon.

    Great review - I also had a few burn problems with the one I've smoked of these, they are quite fresh off the truck, but I had to share one with you. This was the Joya de Nicaragua Dark Corojo. I think with a bit more rest these are going to be really fabulous.

    Thanks. Wow, I never would have guessed JdN Dark Corojo, probably because that was my first one! I actually went to the B&M and picked up their short robusto, but haven't smoke it yet. Like you, I think I'm going to give it some rest before I light it up. Thanks again for sharing.

    I think I'm up now... sightunseen sent me three sticks to review and guess... this is my first time and there is NO WAY my reviews will be as insightful as his, but I will give it a shot... I'll review Stick A later today

    Great review, Rob and congrats on 666 posts. I'm glad you enjoyed the stick, which was a Verdadero Organic. Looking forward to the next guess.

    All the reason to smoke more. It's an education, really. And ignorance is not bliss, at least not when it comes to cigars.

    too true... I'll post my sing and miss on Stick B tomorrow or Saturday

    Reading his review, I was going to guess Verdadero. Haven't smoked one of those in a long time. Good stick!

    Yea, I think if the raisin flavors were there he would've guess Verdadero.

    I take it back... I am changing my guess... Stick B is a Padilla Miami... that extra kick was not present in the AJ Sig... it's gotta be the Padilla Miami...
