Hey Gents, I was just thinking of a special twist to this little game.. When passing along cigars, make one a " blind cigar" and by that I mean take off the label. That Cigar must be smoked and reviewed by the recipient, along with a quess as to what they believe they have just smoked.. After that posting, the sender will let you know what you really got.. Sound like Fun ? This way a twenty dollar cigar can be called a dog, and a three buck stick might well become a favorite. Let me know whatcha think.
I accordance with this idea, I've just smoked the mystery stick I received in the pif from Stoogee. I don't have a review, but I do have a guess as to what it is. I think the mystery cigar I got was a La Cuna bin 85 habano. The way it looks and the very distinct flavor is what leads me to that conclusion.
I guess that means you've smoked the one I sent you. What are your thoughts?
I thought it was very tasty and not quite like anything I've had before. I was really impressed with the construction and also the flavor profile, somewhat complex with flavors I couldn't pin down. The thing that instantly stands out is the sweetness on the draw.
You've probably seen my post from last night over in the Whatcha Smokin thread, by now, but my thoughts are extremely similar to yours -- particularly the parts about complexity and not being able to pin down the flavors.
Indeed I did see it...that was part of the reason I was able to identify the cigar, as I had recently thought of it. Otherwise I would've been sitting around for an hour thinking "I know that cigar...what the hell is it?".
