    Wow.... Handle with care - guess it wasn't...

    I Like your enthusiasm! Was "A" the robusto?
  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,403 ✭✭
    Yep.

    It seemed to be handled ok, the Humicare packs just blow up sometimes, several guys have had it happen. I don't even ship with them anymore because of that.

    I should have my guesses up by tomorrow, I might smoke cigar "C" tonight.

    hey joz3r I'll mystery mooch off ya PM sent.
    Hey Robert, is there any particular strength level you prefer?

    Dang, three posts in a row...I'm on a roll here.

    OK, I've got my picks for the mystery cigars from Tumbler. First a brief synopsis of each, then my three picks.

    Cigar A: This is a milk chocolate colored robusto, medium veining with no tooth and a neatly applied triple cap, I'm thinking the wrapper is an Ecuadorian Sumatra based on appearance and taste. It has a good draw, firm but full and easy. The flavors present are pepper, leather and a toastiness, medium-full in strength. I get the AJ Fernandez vibe from this one.

    Cigar B: This one is a fat torpedo, looks to be a 54-56 ring gauge. A darker brown, slightly more than milk chocolate but not maduro dark. The draw is very tight, requires two additional cuts to get a reasonable pull. Fairly bland in flavor, though it presents some toasty bread flavors, a harsh pepper, and some clingy leather. Full bodied with more of a gut feel. I'm basing my guess on appearance and not flavor, because if it is what I think it is, then it doesn't taste at all like it.

    Cigar C: This one is a toro but skinnier than most, looks about a 48 ring gauge. Wrapper is milk chocolate brown with moderate veining, foot is unfinished and the cap is finished in a pigtail. Construction is good, though this cigar is a bit spongy, well made nonetheless with a slightly firm, yet easy draw. Flavor represents as some earthy leather with moderate notes of pepper, medium-full in strength. I had my suspicions of what this was from looking at it, pretty much confirmed with the first few puffs. Very good cigar too.

    The Guesses:
    Cigar A: La Herencia Cubana
    Cigar B: Oliva Serie V
    Cigar C: Camacho Pre-Embargo.


    Thank you Tumbler for the cigars, this was fun.

    hey Joe, I like medium strength cigars. But anything you send will be good! Thanks bro!

    Joseph - I did look at past posts to gauge what you were smoking and your palate preference. I was trying to give you something you were familiar with and see if "not knowing" affected your taste. It does appear sight was still instrumental here... I thought sure you would have problems with C if you had not smoked one yet, (that's pretty obvious) but no problem there. They have a pretty unique flavor that I really like. I love all three of these cigars actually... :)

    Cigar A: Padilla '32
    Cigar B: Oliva series V figurado
    Cigar C: Camacho '62 Pre-embargo

    Helluva Job! Thanks for playing

    Wow...Padilla '32 eh? I would have sworn it was a La Herencia. Great cigar though all the way. Thanks again for the cigars, this was a fun experiment in taste testing.

    Robert, the sticks I will have on the way to you are in the medium to medium-full range...nothing that will make you turn green.

    I let B and C sit a little while due to the fact I think they picked up a little moisture. I smoked B last night. It was a dark maduro shaped torpedo. I noticed how heavy it felt in the hand. The first half was medium to heavy bodied in flavor and I captured a little pepper as it exited my nasal cavity. The last third it eased up a little in the draw and got a little richer. the construction was good and needed no touch ups..

    I will say mystery stick B is Padilla Obsidian

    Mystery stick C is a pyramid shaped cigar that starts at a point and increases in diameter to about a 60 gauge cigar. it has a dark maduro looking wrapper with a lot of sheen. The draw is about perfect till the last 4th where it becomes a little more difficult. It went out a few times and I had to re-light. I noticed a cedar aroma on one particular re-light. It started off with some leather and a little spice. I really enjoyed the first third. It then became very creamy - almost too much so. and the last third, before the inch and half mark, it got a little lost with the flavor. The last inch and half it came into it's own again and became a little cedary and again a touch of spice. I have never smoked this cigar but considering the shape and the flavor of a brand

    i will guess mystery stick C is a Partagas S

    On a side note Bryan sent me some more sticks today including a MB 3. What a BOTL. We have some really quality guys heres.. Thanks so ever much Bryan!

    Mystery stick B was a CAO Brazilia.
    Mystery stick C was a Partagas Black
    Very good guesses!

    LMAO. OK OK, I'll rephrase it. I had to have a little fun with it, if Duty and Urbs were still around that one line would have spawned many threads and probably a signature line or two.

    Its been a couple of weeks, so I guess I'll be the first repeat player here. I'll be your mystery mooch Maddy, but there will be no blowing. Of anything. Well, except smoke. Yeah, but ONLY smoke.
  • j0z3rj0z3r Posts: 9,403 ✭✭
    Aliens never do any blowing...or any real receiving acts, they just poke and prod. Total pitchers, never catchers.
  • alienmisprintalienmisprint Posts: 3,964 ✭✭✭
    You are correct, sir. The small mouths won't allow for anything else.

    I was thinking something more tropical, like mango or maybe citrus blast? That is if you don't mind splurging.

    I'll see what 7-11 has. You think you're good enough to tell between the mango and citrus blast?

    Well, I can differentiate between the strawberries and cream and peaches and cream, so I figure I should be good with the mango/citrus determination.
