Smoked the Box Pressed Corona this afternoon. For the whole first half of the cigar I was going, I know this cigar, I know this cigar. I instantly new it wasn't a Padron but I knew I had smoked it before. I was sitting on the back deck started to get frustrated and then it hit me. Rocky Patel Olde World Reserve. I'm positive thats what it is.
Smoked the first of my mystery sticks from Maddy, a robusto-sized maduro, cigar "A". It had a great burn and perfect draw, overall very nice construction and quality. The taste was slightly sweet, with a little pepper through the nose and a faint coffee flavor. It was a very enjoyable smoke, not sure if I have had it before but I would definately like to have it again. To venture a guess, I would say it might be a La Perla Habana Black Pearl.
Just finished the second of my mystery sticks, cigar "C", from Maddy. This one was another great stick with excellent construction, burn, and draw. It reminded me of an Oliva O natural, but with less pepper and a little sweeter. Not sure what to guess it was, but I do think I have had it before. Maybe an Oliva G cameroon?
Oh, and to cholmes8310 and thizzcore, I am still looking for a mooch, but to stay with the general rules of the board, you need to have 25 posts and to be on the good trader list in order to play. As far as getting on the good trader list, if no one else has a problem with it, I don't mind sending either of you the mystery cigars. As for the 25 posts, just hang around, read, and reply to a few of the threads. It really won't take that long, and my offer has been up for over a week now with no bites, so it will probably still be up when either of you reach the 25 post minimum.
Damn, I've had the LVH Cameroon before too, but the one I had previously was nowhere near that good. I had a robusto, and it didn't have any age on it really, maybe that is why? I am going to have to give them another look, a very serious look. The Oliva V I should've known, but I have only had one of those before. And I've never had the CAO Gold Maduro, so no shock there. Thanks again for the sticks man, it was a blast.

Hey Alien... how'd you like that Oliva V? They are awesome sticks. I like them in the double toro's 6 X 60.
Yeah the "G" in the Maduro's have become a regular stick in my humi, they are very nice. I just love the Series V in the Double Toro. They were such a HUGE cigar and the flavors from the halfway point down to the very short nub are just fantastic. Oliva is quickly becoming a favorite brand of mine. Can't say I have tried any Oliva that I didn't like yet.
Same here for the most part. I just tried them too, got a couple of samplers maybe a month ago, but so far I've tried both varients of the O and the G, the Connecticut Reserve, the V, the MB3, and all four varients of the Nub line. The only ones I didn't care for are the Nubs (other than the Maduro).
Alien,
If you want to save a penny or two you can combine Cholmes and my movie shipment into 1 box.
We can dissect them when they arrive. Just mark whats for who, we work together.
Fine with me. I already sent both of you PMs, lol, but I can just ship to one address. I will put them in two different bags and mark the bags, but like Chase said, his bag will have three unbanded sticks in it. Just gotta make sure I don't send any regular versions of the mystery sticks to Neil, lol.
