I have been in transit but now settled in Texas. You know the deal..... you get to pick the stick, I smoke it and I write my (very poor amateur) review. Sorry, no cool scenery pics in TX but I will include stick pics.

Tonight's choices are:

1. Pinar del Rio Seleccion
2. Tatuaje Miami
3. LfD Air Bender

Vote early and often.... new time zone.... I go out earlier here ! THANKS !!

(Tonight is in honor of ShotgunJohn who is recovering in the hospital)

    You guys picked a really nice stick tonight.

    Started at 3:35 PM

    This is one heavy and very tight stick! WOW like a rock. Very pretty chocolate brown color.
    Prelight smell kinda barn yard but clean fresh. Prelight lick nice taste but no clear flavor. Cut and prelight draw is VERY tight I am a bit concerned but lets see how it opens up.

    Lit with a torch. Draw is tight but OK.
    First flavors a nice light pepper and hay. Smooth. The stick is opening up and softening a bit. First 30 minutes and wow is this ever a slow burning cigar. Less than an inch of tight grey ash. Kind of simple smooth flavor. Not the ususal full body I am used to. Nice though.

    About an hour in and minor canoe but seems to be self correcting. First ash fell just short of 1 hour in.

    SLOW BURNING !!
    This thing really softens up as it burns and warms up. Draw opened up and is fine about half way. No issues. Same flavor. Still very smooth and simple. 6pm nearing the end... a bit stronger and more nice smooth flavor.

    2 hours 35 min.....nice LONG smoke.

    ShotgunJohn, hope you are feeling better and get home soon!
