Hm... not too bad If you compare it to my second attempt, much better. Was the perdomo a segundo? And I liked all three of the sticks. You really did a nice number here, thanks so much for these. Now; who wants to be my mooch?
No, the perdomo was not a segundo. It was a Perdomo2 - Perdomo "Squared"
Got my package from Alien today... Will get on these tonight.
So, looking at these mystery sticks, I think I have a good idea what A is - looks like the RP Old World Reserve... will confirm after I smoke it. But B and C are impossible to tell from looks. Actually, they look like the exact same cigar, just one a robusto and one a toro. I'll get one these starting tomorrow. Gonna let them adjust at least one night.
Oh, and alien, the additions were greatly appreciated. He sent three additional sticks - a RP Rosado, a Padilla Obsidian, and a Nording. The only one I've had is the Padilla Obsidian.
I assure you, B and C are very different cigars. Can't wait to see what you think of cigar A, I'll give you a hint: it is one of my go-to cigars.
ok, so I started with C since I had a short drive and it was a robusto. The cigar was a little rugged looking but had a nice smell to it. It appeared to be either a Cameroon or light maduro wrapper. Prelight draw was nice and light. I fired it up and got smoking. The burn and draw were fine, and it produced a ton of smoke. Not really my cup o'tea when it came to flavor though. I got a little earth and mostly just ashy flavors. I'd say this was a CCOM Red Label from experience. If that's not it, maybe the CCOM Cameroon. But I'd almost guarantee this was a CCOM house blend
Yeah, look at my first try; I looked foolish, and my second try, I got 2/3. Not a bad turn around. If I can say one thing, this game has REALLY helped me with my tasting skills.
Not half bad! I give you big props, and I'm happy to have gotten the perspective I did.
Cigar A: Sol Cubano Cuban Cabinet. Wanted to see if it lived up to the hype, and it did!
Cigar B: 5 Vegas Limitada... 2009! This is the one I had shipped in special.
Cigar C: 5 Vegas Series 'A' Apocalypse. Veeery interesting, as it's a big ring cigar, and I thought the Edge Maddy was a box-pressed, unless I slipped up and gave you an Apex instead. Either way, it's a 5 Vegas A.
Very nice guess for the B cigar though.
Ok, I've been toying with the idea of giving the mystery cigars another go, and I'd just hate to leave you hanging Vinny. I'll mooch some mystery sticks off ya buddy.
